RichCI Posted September 27, 2009 Share Posted September 27, 2009 This totally validates what I've always thought happens to my sound on humid days. I'm not crazy after all! http://www.gibson.com/en-us/Lifestyle/Features/Tone-Tips-The-Good-Doctors-225/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Riffster Posted September 27, 2009 Share Posted September 27, 2009 It has been raining in Nashville for the most part of 3 weeks so i will keep this in mind. Thanks Rich. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cruznolfart Posted September 27, 2009 Share Posted September 27, 2009 Excellent, common-sense tip. Thanks Rich. I'm thinking it would work about as well if I just bagged my cabs/combos and put the silica bags inside, rather than remove speaks from everything.

FirstMeasure Posted September 27, 2009 Share Posted September 27, 2009 Here in these mountains our humid ity goes from 30-40% to %80-90 over night. (Usually Dry, though). I notice the difference in my Amps. My Drummer thinks I'm nuts, but I'll print this article out and show him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NeoConMan Posted September 27, 2009 Share Posted September 27, 2009 If you have dew on the grass or on your car overnight, humidity is in excess of 90%. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ubrnostrum Posted September 28, 2009 Share Posted September 28, 2009 Oh yeah, and if any of you run an airconditioner where your guitars and amps are, you're sucking a lot of the humidity out the air any way. How many of you leave your amps and guitars outside? If you do, humidified speakers are the least of your worries... By a humidistat. You should always keep your instruments between 35 and 45% humidity. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
djroge1 Posted September 28, 2009 Share Posted September 28, 2009 We have a swamp cooler on top of our house and thankfully it adds moisture into the house. Life can be dry when you're a mile high. Actually my biggest concern was the moisture being sucked out of my guitar necks and then warping. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
