    Vocal Effect - Love Is Bigger Than Anything In Its Way - Main Hook

    Does anyone know how to produce the “oh oh oh”s after the chorus? Sounds like a vocoder with distortion? I’ve tried to get a similar sound with stock plugins in Logic and feel like I’m missing something.

    I Listened To No Line On The Horizon Today

    I haven't listened to this album in ages. Probably two or three years at the very least. Some of my opinions have changed, some have remained the same. I'm just some guy on the internet with opinions, but every once in awhile I like to put them out there and so here we are. (Whether anyone...

    Just bought my first HDTV.

    And it doesn't work, right out of the box! Can anyone help? I don't think this is user error. I hooked everything up correctly, plugged it in and turned it on. In the lower right hand-corner, an icon saying "Digital Television" pops up. Then the screen goes black. Boom! Poof! Nothing...

    The Five Best Amps You've Ever Played Through

    Not just the most Edge-ish, but the best overall sound. For me it's the following in no particular order: 01. Matchless Avalon 30 This is my current main amp and the only of these that I've owned. I got it for a great deal otherwise I would have gone with the 65 Amps London Pro or the Magic...

    Alaska and the Letter Z in the Middle.

    the young were naive, saying and doing things that would haunt them taunt them and flaunt themselves around like a fresh, crisp five dollar bill still waiting to be spent for a first time in the sunlight by a little girl with brown hair; an ice cream come is all she wanted but lust took hold...

    I just bought a Matchless Avalon 30!

    Oh my gosh! It is so cosmetically beautiful, so noiseless/humless, and with such good tone. I know those who try to get the perfect U2 sound would consider it blasphemy, but I'm so ridiculously glad I sold my Vox AC30 Top Boost to fund this beautiful, lush, amazing amp! :drool:

    Selling my like new POG2!

    Anyone interested? It's in very, very good shape. I know people on here would probably love having it because Edge uses it; I simply don't use it enough to justify the price I paid for it, so my loss would be your gain, etc. etc. etc. I'd ship it to the continental USA. I'm a regular poster...

    I Did Something Stupid

    ...and now I need help. So, I was messaging an old friend (or who I thought was an old friend), and they were going to send me an mp3 of their band over messanger. So they did and I downloaded it from them. But then after I opened it, a message popped up like the ones do on vista when you're...

    Furman Power Factor Pro

    I've got a Vox AC30TB made in Britain. It's got the Celestion Greenbacks in it. And I've been playing through for about a year now. And I've always thought it sounded stunning. But I was told by a really reliably accurate guitarist friend of mine that if I want it to really sound as good as...

    Pedal Board Question

    I've placed all my pedals onto a piece of wood that is just the right size. I've figured out that I have all the right cables to connect the pedals, and I've got a surge protector that powers the pedals' AC adapters. In the past, I've just duct-taped my pedals to the board, but I've heard good...

    Buffer-Boost pedal?

    What is the buffer-boost pedal at the bottom left of this guy's pedal board? The navy blue one that he says is super clean and is only at about 2 or 3 out of 10? YouTube - Gerrys Trailer Trash PedalBoard Part1 (Design) Thanks in advance!

    Create Your Own Best Of 1980-1990

    I know we've done this before. But it's been awhile, so who cares? So do your best--just limit each disc to 15 tracks. Anyway, mine would have been released in 3 formats. #1: single disc (Best of 1980-1989). #2: two-disc (Best of 1980-1989 and B-Sides of 1980-1989). #3: three-disc (Best of...

    Crackle in Blues Jr.

    So I'm thinking about buying my brother's Fender Blues Jr. But there's a crackle when I hit a chord hard. It's not distortion anything, just a random sort of white noise-like bit. So I'm wondering if anyone knows what that is? I'm thinking of taking it in to get it fixed as I'll probably be...

    Pickup Changes?

    My Tele has humbuckers. I've been thinking of changing them out for single-coil. Any recommendations? How hard is it to do?

    The Beatles (1970-1973)

    I was imagining: What if the Beatles hadn't broken up when they did, but just recorded together less. So I decided to make the second double album by The Beatles, of course, based off of solo material that the band produced from 1970-1973. I encourage you all to do the same because it's fun...

    The Beatles Remastered

    According to wikipedia (The Beatles - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia), this is going to happen in 2009. It excites me as their music will sound better than ever, but infuriates me as I've got all their music, and will have to rebuy it all. However, I'm wondering what singles/b-sides will end...

    Fan out--what to do?

    So, I noticed my laptop was super hot the other day and realized I couldn't hear the fan. What can I do to get it fixed? Should I just take it in to Best Buy? It's not quite a year old (I bought it literally 52 weeks ago to the day, so it'll turn a year old on Saturday). It's worked great...

    Washington Mutual Collapses?

    So, I just woke up to a note left by my mother. "Washington Mutual has been seized by the FDIC and is being taken over by Chase." What the hell? Sorry if there's already a thread about this, but I just woke up (and my first thought, of course, was to come here).

    Achtung Baby and Zooropa as Natural Progrssions From Lovetown

    Now, I fully understand if most of you are ready to draw and quarter me after I post this. But what if U2 hadn't decided to go and completely dream it up again? What if they had just taken the sound of Lovetown and pushed it one step toward where Achtung Baby went, and not gone the whole way...
