Connecting Amp out to computer

Hi all,

I've just received a Honeytone mini amp and I am having a great time with it. Now, I would like to record it's output on my computer.

The only inputs my desktop has is a headset mic input, and USB inputs. I have no Line-In input.

I believe the best way would be to use the USB input, and I would need some kind of 1/8inch or 1/4inch Jack / USB converter, into which I plug in the output of my amp, and that I connect to the computer with the USB port.

Goal is torecord tracks on Audacity software. continue reading...

Hi there

I'm looking to buy my first Harmonica amp.
I focus on Blues music.

I've had a number of people I respect recommend a Fender Pro Junior.

I'd like to buy a Marshall if I can though, does anyone know a similar spec'd Marshall?
How do they compare?

Thank you

There isn't a Mac OS version. It is a real shame.

a long time ago i scored an amp from a Model 601 Gaumont-Bell & Howell 16mm movie projector. It took a while to discover exactly what it was. i thought it was a North American amp because the power supply was designed for 110vac. but it turned out to be British. continue reading...

Stuck

Today I started to play my new 270 Bb Chromatic that Steve Malerbi customized for me and discovered the 4 blow wouldn't respond. I was thinking it was a stuck windsaver but when I got the covers off I discovered that a turkey sandwich was wedged on the edge of the reed. I took my reed plinker and gently removed the object and the problem was solved. continue reading...

Egnater rebel 20

I have a chance to buy a guitar amp at cost (sadly they don't have access to harp amp) .

I was looking at the Egnater Rebel 20 and have a cab made with my choice of speaker.

Does it make sense to go in that direction or should I look at a specialty harp amp?

If so, what would be good speakers to go with the Egnater?

Hey there,

I just got a geloso G213 http://www.radiomuseum.org/r/geloso_g213_a_g213a.html

The amp is very loud, but its sounds a bit "thin".

There are 2 12SL7GT tubes in it.
Can I swap it with a 6sl7, or maby a 12sn7?
I got 2 6sn7gtb tubes there, can I try those 2?

I read allot about 12a*7 tubes in harp amps, can i swap them? maby with a "adapter" or something.
And what brand would be the best/would you recommend

What would be the best preamp tubes to get more bass?

And it also got 2 6V6G tubes in my geloso. continue reading...

Begginer with a Hohner Golden Melody, i am afraid of ''breaking'' it

Posted Sat, 02/04/2012 - 16:13 by Isantiago

Good day to everyone, my name is Santiago, i just bought a hohner golden melody and i love how it sounds, also i am a beginner and i am afraid of ''breaking'' it for not doing a good job while i play, i have heard that it can happen if u don't make good bends and things like that, and right now i am afraid of even touching it since i cant afford buying harmonicas every month.

I know that the harmonicas don't have a long life as many other instruments, but you know what i mean, i don't want to buy a new harmonica every 1 or 2 months. continue reading...
