Rampdog Posted March 6, 2007 Share Posted March 6, 2007 This is a two part question... I model through my putor using a Line6 Toneport interface... Gearbox is the program I use to build amps and cabinets... They have alot of presets but most sound like crap...Do any of you use this and if so do you have any suggestions for tones. Or do you recommend another modeler. I play my strat mostly and I can get some good clean sounds but I'm having trouble with a clean sustain... Second part is I need to get some new headphones. I know you can spend mega money on a pair but I'd like to keep it under $200 ... Any suggestions on a pair? Thanks all, Woof If it ain't fun...why do it...? http://www.soundclick.com/bands/default.cfm?bandID=778394&content=music Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Strategery Posted March 6, 2007 Share Posted March 6, 2007 I've got a Vox ToneLab in new condition for $195 if interested. Just check the gear section. Have you tried one? Randy "Just play!" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rampdog Posted March 6, 2007 Author Share Posted March 6, 2007 Thanks Ellwood, I'll check them out... Randy I only have the dough for some new headphones that's why I was asking if anyone used the toneport/Gearbox..But thanks and no I haven't tried one yet... I will research it though.. If it ain't fun...why do it...? http://www.soundclick.com/bands/default.cfm?bandID=778394&content=music Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
miroslav Posted March 6, 2007 Share Posted March 6, 2007 The Sony MDR-7506 are widely used...but I always found them somewhat on the harsh side. If you want great recording/listening headphones...try a pair of the Fostex T50RP...these are Fostex's top of the line (they have a few other good models) At about $100...they can't be beat for sound quality, and will blow away most of the cometition in that price range...and IMO...some costing 2-3 times as much. They are well balanced and very smooth from one end of the frequancy spectrum to the other. http://www.fostex.com/index.php?file=products/accessories/headphones/t50rp If you need good recording headphones w/isolation...the old Koss Pro4AA are still my favorites. miroslav - miroslavmusic.com "Just because it happened to you, it doesn't mean it's important."

Billster Posted March 6, 2007 Share Posted March 6, 2007 AKG makes nice headphones. I use the K 240. As for modelers, I've never cared for that stuff. Native Instruments has a set called "Guitar Combos" which is a "lite" version of their Guitar Rig software. I understand that Combos is based on the Guitar Rig 1 algorithms, so it's not the latest and greatest since they came out with Guitar Rig 2. Combos is currently selling for only $50, so maybe that's an option to explore, even though it's probably near the end of it's life cycle as a supported product. Buy my CD on CD Baby!

fantasticsound Posted March 8, 2007 Share Posted March 8, 2007 The Sony MDR-7506 are widely used...but I always found them somewhat on the harsh side... I've found this to be the case as well, which is why they're preferred by live engineers. Most live engineers use headphones strictly for isolating an input or output to hear the overall content while a PA is filling the entire room with sound. A pair of folding headphones that emphasize the midrange more than extreme highs and lows is exactly what the doctor ordered. It's easiest to find me on Facebook.

Dr. Ellwood Posted March 8, 2007 Share Posted March 8, 2007 "I've found this to be the case as well, which is why they're preferred by live engineers" Right NEIL, that's EXACTLY where I got the recommendation..from our sound guy LOL! but I do really like them ...I had a set of Pro IVaa's and I like the Sony better, the Koss just sound too soft and unrealistic to me by comparison. http://www.thestringnetwork.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Strategery Posted March 8, 2007 Share Posted March 8, 2007 I've got the AKG K240's as well and they sound fine. "Just play!" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rampdog Posted March 8, 2007 Author Share Posted March 8, 2007 Well... I ordered a pair of Fostex T50RP Studio Headphones as perscribed by Miro... They were on sale at Zzsounds for 79 bucks. Sam Ash wanted 99 bucks so I saved 20 bones... Enough for some new strings... Thanks all...
