What kind of problems are you having with Cubase? Not using an ASIO compatible soundcard?

[Eyes of the Night]

That's my prob BS1 ... yeah gotta go back today anyhow ... mise well pick one of those up while I'm at it ... if not an arm and a leg ...

All I wanted was a simple recording device for my cheap ass mic that I was running from a cheap ass stereo with that SWEET cassette feel ... before I knew it I walked out with 225 worth of product in the end ... I call it upgrading eh ... still though, live by the sword die by the sword ... and in the end BS1 will always have better shit than me and smoke me everytime!

Hey, you can get a Soundblaster Audigy2 for fairly cheap that is ASIO compatible, and can record 24-bit. That's what I use with Cubase SX and it kicks ass...especially when using VST plugins.

My old Marshall sounds like pure shit with some EL-34 tubes. They really vary and to be honest, EL-34 tubes are really overhyped.

Unless you know what you are doing have a technician do this for you but the way your bias voltage is set affects the way your output stage sounds. Some amps have a little pot you turn to adjust how much voltage the plates in the tubes are pulling. If it's too hot your tubes will overheat and sometimes glow orange. If it's too low, you amp sounds like shit.

Theres a margine where the bias should be set but withing this margine the tone of the amp changes with bias changes; especially, with EL-34 tubes.

What I do is plug my amp into the speaker cab and play and listen when I reset the bias. You have to reset the bias everytime you change tubes because tubes vary in there characteristics.

I love old tube amps but they are such a pain in the ass. This is one reason why. sometimes I think we're all nuts and should just plug into a POD. LOL!

Some people are just better served with a solid state amp. LOL!

Dude, you just explained how my tech told me how he fixed mine ... plus mine were el34R's which are different somehow ... it was all about setting this new "value" next to or for that lil switch next to the ... yada yada, I forgot already ...lmfao! He's done Pearl Jam's amps early in their career ... I did get 10 extra volts though ... not even close to Gar's chassy liking ...

Svetlana/AudioGlassic...same company, I go to church with one of the top dogs. I haven't talked to him one on one recently, but I believe that they are no longer in business.

[Eyes of the Night]

Yup, just came across that word Svetlana last night at peavey.cum ... just a distributor it looked like ... sorry Pana

[ELVIS]

I bought my first vintage Marshall head in 1987...

By 1990, I edcuated myself on every major technical aspect of these, and other tube amp circuits...

It's not rocket science, by any means...

[Panamark]

Svetlana Tubes are still around Brownsound1 !
