This unit is a PCI audio card that serves for semi-pro to even (some forms) of professional audio production. The package actually includes two PCI cards, E-MU 1010 PCI card & E-MU 0202 I/O daughter card that are connected internally via flat cable. 1010 card is the actual heart of the system, and it has DSP chip onboard, while 0202 serves as expansion card where I/O and MIDI section is..(More....)

I needed a device that will enable me to amplify signal from microphones & instruments, so I can feed it into 1212m audio system. 1212m has no preamps on its own, and it has 2 TRS 1/4 jack inputs. This device is a 2 channel preamp, so I can use both channels in separately, and feed each of the channels to the card's inputs. I've used Behringer MIC800 preamp before this,(more....)

Previous Reviews!!

Schecter C-1 Hellraiser!!!

Hellraiser.


Now when inspecting the guitar a bit closer at home I noticed that it was made in Indonesia. So it seems to me that Schecter did also move away from South Korea to Indonesia like ESP LTD did. Probably because of the new minimal wages in South Korea. Not really good behavior and at least in the LTD's case the quality seems to have suffered. So I went on to look for flaws.(more....)




The Blackheart Bh5h Amp!!!!

Blackheart BH5H Gear Review
All tube for $150? What's the catch?
Thrills and frills: None really. 1 12AX7 preamp tube and 1 EL84 output tube Playing Style: Rock, Blues, Jazz (Sorry metal heads, need a distortion pedal for this one)(more....)

The Behringer Compressor/Sustainer Pedal!!!

Behringer Cs100
Behringer Cs100


The Behringer CS-100 is a low budget compression unit that has been designed to compete directly with the more expensive pedals on the market. For those of you who dont yet know/understand what compression is , please see Tony's awsome guide here

I bought this pedal as I was in need of longer lasting sustain (how long the notes ring after you pick them) for slow solo work. I found that I could not get enough sustain out of my lovely Vox AC15 and Boss Distortion pedals even though I did have a beautiful tone. This I believe in part due to the fact I cannot turn the amp up loud enough in my room which equals angry parents/neighbours.(more.....)
