Perfect combination: Boss MT-2 Metal zone + tube preamp 2008-03-19 02:27:38 I try a combination of this stompbox with my Behringer Tube Preamp MIC200. Wow! I'm totally impressed with the sound! I have to agree most of Boss distortion pedal will sound better with the combination of tube preamp or tube amp.In many studio today, Boss MT-2 Metal
Zone is still the popular choice for guitar stompbox. Most of the jammer prefer this effect pedal because it can produce full and heavy sound especially for rhythm.For me, with this pedal stand-alone, I can't get my preferred guitar sound. I try a combination of this stompbox with my Behringer Tube Preamp MIC200. Wow! I'm totally impressed with the sound! I have to agree most of Boss distortion pedal will sound better with the combination of tube preamp or tube amp.If you're looking for tube preamp, I suggest to go for Rocktro Read more:Perfect
Stay away from crap magazines! 2008-03-17 23:09:07 Hello to all friends,What's the point to beg them? They're suck at writing as they will only make your band looks stupid. I've just arrived at my hometown. I've to settle up few things here but this wouldn't stop me to continue writing in this blog. Maybe I'll stay here for a week.Erm, there's a friend sent me a message this morning asking for my opinion about a magazine wrote in their latest issue about a band which has now become famous and almost forget about their root, independent scene (underground). Well, actually I don't want to talk much about this thing as I can smell jealousy in that words. It just that, for me there's not much difference between the independent and mainstream scene today and it's up to the band to decide their way and whatever they want to do.There's nobody els

What the bands should not do on Myspace? 2008-03-20 14:53:51 To be honest I hate to see comment like this from other bands. Especially when they're putting their gig flyers. It takes too much space on my profile. I'll simply delete them. How the hell you don't even have a chat with me and now you want to spam my comment box. No way!Most of the bands today use the Myspace comments & bulletin or e-mails to promote their album, songs or gigs. Some of the messages will sound like this, "Hey, I've just uploaded a new tracks, please check out our page and listen to it." Wah, who do you think you are? Avril Lavigne? Michael Jackson? Linkin Park?I'm not saying you can't do like that but most of the time, people will simply ignore your message and will mark it as spam! What you have to do is, give them a space. It's nice to say hi to them, but don't push
