No audio? I have no idea either...

Kah Ming's brother Soo Ming is on bass and Ching Xiong is on drums. All 3 of them used to be in H&G Club. laugh.gif And Kah Ming did sing out of tune in this track because the monitors weren't working at all lol. Stupid PA system.

finally got it fixed....
i have to say... it was pretty bad.... maybe its the live video or maybe its just kah ming singing out of tune (did he use earplugs?)
but heck... im pretty sure that wasnt your band's best...
cant wait to see your next vid thumbup.gif

Nah lol... the monitors weren't working and he couldn't hear himself at all. After the gig he was hoping that the audience could hear his vocals, so he tried to sing louder than he normally would. In terms of vocals he could do better but as a band, that's usually how we sound. biggrin.gif
Have you heard of the original Ziggy Stardust anyway? thumbup.gif

I'ill try to get the Beyond and Sweet Child vid done, just downloaded a new video editor and hope it works fine. smile.gif

Yeah, David Bowie song, 70s Classic!!! thumbup.gif thumbup.gif

Anyway here it is :
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rx4KOoPNgtc

I swear the original DVD sound and picture quality is 10times better! Poor video, went through so many stages of compression in order to be Screamyx Friendly. Anyway, in this video you can hear the TS9 in use during the lead guitar moments. The Magicstomp can barely be heard on the verses of both song, but the main point here's the amp tone. The lead tone's rather good if you ask me, and since the camera was placed at the end of the hall, it means that the 50-watter is loud enough for medium sized gigs. thumbup.gif Cheers and enjoy!

well, DA-5 retail RM615.
take 20% off still RM490, not worth it.

think i might just go buy the toneport ux-1 instead.

Wow... the Microcube's only around RM400 right?

Yeah, it's really not worth it. With that price you could get a proper entry-level tube amp. Not in Malaysia, that is though. tongue.gif

Guess what I did to my AD50VT? biggrin.gif biggrin.gif biggrin.gif

Anyone who has an AD30VT/AD50VT may have thought at one point in time that it was seriously lacking one particular important feature - an effects loop.

In the pictures above, see the two chrome jacks on top of the line out and speaker out? That's the FX loop I just added biggrin.gif The jack above the line out is FX Send and the jack above the speaker out is the FX Return. The FX Send comes out directly from the preamp while the FX Return goes back into the Valvereactor poweramp circuit.

I now plug my Zoom G9.2tt modeler directly into the FX return to bypass the Vox Preamp to avoid any additional coloration (instead of plugging the modeller into the front of the amp where the guitar is normally plugged in). This is a much better way to use a modeler IMO and works briliantly for me. The Zoom models the preamp while the Vox models the poweramp biggrin.gif

Anyways, I got the mod instructions from one of the guys over at patchtronix. Here's the link to the forum. The proper link to download instructions can be found on the 2nd page.

The instructions are for the AD30VT, but it also works on the AD50VT too. I highly recommend that any of you who's got a bit of the DIY spirit and desperately been wanting an FX loop in your AD30VT/AD50VT to give this a try. Do read the instructions thoroughly before attempting this mod as you could seriously damage your amp. Get all the necessary parts and tools before starting.

Have fun! smile.gif

Congrats on the mod!!! It looks pretty solid and I'm sure you're proud of it. thumbup.gif Btw, how long did you take to complete the mod and how much did you spend on the electronics?

Thanks for the Valvetronix link... When I get the time I would work on the mod but atm, I could live without it. thumbup.gif

Hmmm... you're staying in Australia, is it???

I say you ask for a refund for your deposit. Since they didn't get you the amp at the said time, you have the rights to claim the deposit. Perhaps you should get the amp from other shop?

Ah, I thought you were. Anyway... where did you order it from? Definitely not CK Music eh?

Yeah, go visit his shop and bring Blacktrix there. His "Black Label image" would scare the hell out of the fella. tongue.gif Well, try asking a refund from him. 2 months is an awful long time and if he can't deliver the goods, there is no point for him to hold on to your deposit.
