One of them is powering my beer fridge mixer combo and really takes a beating its still ticking.
The other is in a rack in the studio and has been running 24/7 for years.

AM talk radio sounds annoying enough.

Best if you can arrange to have it drift from one to another.mikehalloran wrote:Country, talk radio or religious?bayswater wrote:A sample of a weak AM signal recorded late at night works too.MIDI Life Crisis wrote:That said, I remind the members that it's always good to have a "60 cycle hum" patch ready to drive the the engineers and audio tech guys crazy at gigs.

Re: Chasing an Elusive Hum
LOL. Until this moment, I had not truly appreciated the wonder of the beer fridge mixer. It really is something extraordinary. Just the right flavor for end-of-session winding down.Killahurts wrote:This is fantastic..

Thank you both… Wylie for the inspiration and Killahurts for making me take a second look.

I always thought it was a social event, not a piece of gear.

Nothing like getting out there with your mix and letting it rip.
Not only does the garage sound great for some crazy reason but stuff goes on out there that I don't allow in the studio, much fun has been had.
And as far as the SLA1 amps go for the money you can't beat them.
I've added a plasma since the last pic.
