Two that I've seen come to mind. The two books Yamaha puts out 'Sound Reinforce-
ment Handbook', and the 'Guide to Sound Systems for Worship'. GSSW is directed
toward church applications, but has the basics covered in less depth than SRH.
GSSW also adds lots of other things specific to churches - I just include it for
general info. SRH is written by Gary Davis & someone else (Jones I think.)

SRH is IMO an excellent book. It covers the acoustic and electrical theory appl-
iccable to Sound Reinforcement in a concise, clear way. The way SRH & GSSW are
written you really don't need to know the theory to understand the books, but 
of course it will always help you understand things better. I can't remember how
many pages, but SHR is a little over 1" thick, and about $30 (If I remember 
correctly.) GSSW is a little under 1/2" thick, and something like $20-$25.

Both cover effects as far as setup and connection, maximizing SNR, but don't
cover much in the area of suggesting "Well on the lead vocal, try using a subtle
300ms echo with a fairly dense, but short plate reverb and some chorus." To be
fair, these subjects are best left to volumes dedicated to Effects and Signal
processing. SRH does cover the basic workings of Signal processing and Effects.

For SP and FX, I suggest the book series Home & Studio Recording puts out: 
Creative Recording (or something like that). I think these are written by Paul
White. There are three in this series: Signal Processing, Effects, and Acoustics.
All three run about $45. I've got the first two, and recommend them heartily.

Chris,

I have a Tubeworks TD-752 (100 watts, 1X12, Mosvalve power with tube pre-amp)
that I bought new recently for well under your $550 limit. It has a great sound,
especially for blues or blues rock, and has loads of sustain and a really

you can.

I just bought a used BOSS TU-12P chromatic electronic tuner (wjust the tuner, without the manual, etc). It's very small (about 6"Width, 1"Depth, and 1"Height). 
The tuner has a range of C1-B5 (C, Cb, D, Db, E, Eb, F, Fb, G, Gb, A, Ab, B, Bb)
and has a digital LCD display. Plus, the standard built-in mic and pick-up jack.

My question: How does this model fair with the origional TU-12 and, or, the Tu-12H? 

What is the going price for this tuner? I know most Boss products are within th$100-200 range. I bought this one for $53.00, which I think is a good deal (It was only used as a display model).

I think it's one of the best tuners I have ever seen..

    Ok all you EE gods out there. . . A question:

I have a Marshall JCM 900 100 W. dual reverb head.  I prefer to use stereo
effects, so I simply use it for a preamp.  I have constructed a load
resistor to use in place of the speaker cab, but I'd like to have
a way to connect a line level input to the speaker output (w/load).  For
some reason this sounds much better than the Direct output on the back
of the amp.  Problem is, I need some sort of attenuator (sp?) to cut down
the signal (in addition to the load).  Can it be done?  How?  Thanks for any
suggestions you may have. . .

What has happened is that your neck dried out. The heat was probably turned off
over vacation (or way down) and it got very dry in there. Lesson: Don't leave
your guitar in the drom next year.

As for what can be done, my experience has been that this can't usually be fixed.
If you're lucky, the humidity in the air may slowly alleviate the problem some,
but the chances of thewood returning to the original shape are pretty slim.

The truss rod will do you no good, because bowing isn't the problem. You may need
a new neck (read: expensive).

Good Luck

Yep, sure does :-).  He's one of my faves tooo...  The amount of
control he has to have to keep that guitar from shaking itself
apart is amazing :-).  It was built by Phish's sound man, Paul
Languedoc (Mike's bass is also made by Paul). 

>those of you who know him, anything that might approximate his

Well, a hollow body or semi hollow body would give you that
"infinite sustain/feedback of any note" feeling, but it would definitely
be harder to play due to the amount of string muting you would need to
do :-).  His amp is a Mesa Boogie MKIII head that is plugged into
a hastily constructed 2x12 cab (I think it's 2).  He's recently 
started using 2 MarkIIIs.  He also uses a volume pedal, and 2
Tube Screamers (on top of the MarkIII crunch :-).

Hope this helps...

As long as your intonation is set right (which can be easily, if not
extremely accurately, done on a tuner), all harmonics ought to be
accurate.  At least I've never heard of anything like what you just
said before.

Practice... practice... practice...

Don't worry - I haven't mastered it yet either.  Some artificial harmonics
are easier than others - start with them.  As with everything else, start
slowly and build up speed.  You already know *how* to play them - it's
just a matter of building up to the stage where you can play one wherever
you want.  Think of the analogy:  There was a time where you knew how to play
*all* the notes you wanted - but stringing them together into a coherent
tune was very difficult -- It just took practice.

Good squealy luck.

   Like a lot of us, I just like to plug in my guitar and start playing.  But
   know I am curious about the pick-ups and how they are arranged.  

   I have an american standard strat.  Are the 3 pick-ups the same and just 
   their positioning gives a different tone?  or what are their differences?  

The three pickups on an Amercian Standard Stratocaster are identical (or as
identical as Fender's manufacturing tolerances permit) with the single
exception that the middle pickup has it's magnets polarized opposite and
has it's leads reversed as compared to the other two pickups for hum
cancellation reasons.  See the StratoFAQ for details.
