voyager home studio amplification

Post by Paul W » Sat Aug 13, 2005 2:39 pm

What are people using for voyager amplification in a home studio?

The stuff in this older thread would be overkill for my purposes.

I use a pair of Tapco s5 monitors by Mackie. They sound good, but have absolutely no low end. To compensate for this I use a separate subwoofer.

Yeah, I've seen that. What beautiful engineering. I love how he places an iPod on it.

here's Bob with the iMPAMP and Ashley, my apprentice. I was busy taking the picture. 8^)

i met Bob several times at the NAMM show. the second time i met Bob, i was in my booth and i heard a hearty laugh behind me as someone said "Shoot! It's got little tubes in it! Bwahahahahaha." i turned around and Bob was holding my nano head (the submini guitar amp i make). He asked me all about it, including the tube numbers (6021W) which he noted in a little black notebook he took from his shirt pocket. it made me very nervous... when i got back to Minneapolis i bought an extra 15 thousand of the tubes to make sure i wouldn't run short. 8^)

Ha! Afraid Bob might steal your design? :wink:

Hey Zachary, what city are you located out of?

oh, no, not the design. i thought he might design something new around the tiny tubes, and buy up all of the NOS parts out there! i've got a large portion of them secured now, so i can breathe a sigh of relief.

i'm a Minneapolis boy, born and raised.

isn't Albini in Chicago? maybe we both got the phrase from the same source... 8^)

from Chicago's "Wishing You Were Here"

...And I’d like to change my life, and you know I would
Just to be with you tonight, baby, if I could
But I’ve got my job to do, and I do it well,
So I guess that’s how it is...

Either through Event ASP 8's or an old Peavy KB300. Depends on what I want to "hear" :).

Zac,

You are the best. Keep blowing our minds.

Sorry to get OT but how do you feel about Mid-Fi Electronics? He seems to be the only guy who isn't tring to make some sort of Fuzz Factory clone or out weird your original. None other to your standards and sound quality of course.

Amplification

Post by this_poison » Mon Aug 15, 2005 8:09 am

I use a pair of JBL25 powered monitors for recording etc, all low volume stuff.

For playing and programming I have a Peavey 60/60 valve amp into a pair of Peavey Eurosys 2 speakers.

It needs a bit of EQ, but gives a great sound.

I also mike up some small guitar amps from time to time, but the Voyager frequently turns cones inside out at any useable volume!
