    Board mixing options

    I'm going back to parallel effect chains and want to do it better this time. Before I had an LS-2 which worked great until the unit broke. I already have a passive ABY and some pedals with multiple outs though, so I'm thinking I could use a mini 3- or 4-channel mixer at the end of the chain...

    What level of skill should I have when using your courses?

    I have recently come upon your Vlog and video lesson. I love them. However some of the books, like the practice routine one doesn't have tab with it. I can't really read music for bass. I played piano and tuba for years, so I do know how to read music, so it could be done but would take me...

    Can the Tascam DR-40 record instrument level?

    Can I just plug straight in from my instrument and get a hot enough level? Is anyone very familiar with these. Its possible that I just don't really know how to use it, but then again maybe mines just defective. It seems to sound bad when recording mono with the internal mics so that is strange...

    Analog Flanger for Effects Loop/Line Level Use

    MXR Flanger says it handles +5db at the input so I'm guessing it can handle being in a bass amp's effects loop. Any others? Anyone tried a Deluxe Electric Mistress in their effects loop?

    Balanced XLR Mic level and impedance to unblanced jack intrument level and impedance adapter?
