Anyone out there interested in Schematics on CD or DVD?
Finding schematics online is great. You may remember when you used to have to phone the manufacturer and either pay a fortune for a hard copy or be told to go away 'cause you don't have an account with them - or maybe you're not that old :)
Well how about all the Schematics we have online on a DVD. Wouldn't that be even easier?
Wouldn't you pay $8.00 (£4.00) plus postage to make life just that bit more convenient for you?
If you would, then let me know.
Use http://www.about-guitar-amps.com/Contact_Us.html to let me know/order and I'll get back to you with the total cost including postage.
Please include your full address and email.

My Current Approach To Recording Rock and Metal Guitars
By Brandon Drury
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I'm assuming we are going for huge, mean distorted electric guitars.............
TO READ THIS ARTICLE PLEASE GO TO THE LINK BELOW
........This is my basic approach. I adapt it to whatever I'm doing, obviously, but this rig has worked fairly well for me.

How  l...o...n...g does it take for your Adobe Reader to load? Ages? Yep!
I'm always opening schematic PDF's and each time I loaded Adobe Reader it took ages to load. Well here's a great little bit of Fr^ ^ee Software which makes the operation so much quicker - and it works I assure you. It's called 'Adobe Reader Speedup' and it does what it says on the tin : )
Cnet has a video to tell you about it here - worth a look and runs for just 1min 24secs
Or if you can't be 'faffed' (english word) to watch it just download it here
I was impressed...
