  1. The LFSys cabs are probably better compared with the Barefaced Big Baby 3. The Super Compact is a single-driver cab, unless you opt for the optional tweeter. LFSys cabs have a crossover and high-mid range driver which the Super Compact lacks, but the Big Baby 3 has. I have a Monza and it goes very loud. Unless you need a large amount of volume, you should probably be looking at an LFSys Goodwood too.
  2. From the original post. So there is no need to consider impedance mismatching, or a foot-pedal tuner to switch off the sound because these are already built-in to the on-board preamp. I've just done live sound for an event which involved several bedroom acoustic players. The biggest issue I had was people leaving their tuners switched on , and not realising that it mutes the signal from the guitar. A talkback mike might be worth considering for the PA guy.
  3. This is already a bargain - I paid £165 for mine second-hand and was glad to find one at that price.
  4. No. Originally it would have had Yamaha alnico pickups.
  5. A basic DI box into the PA will get you going. The ADI 21 is a good way to try some tone shaping, but worth buying just as a DI box even if you don't turn it on. If you have reasonable stage monitors, that's all you need. Depending on how loud you are, and if you don't have any on-stage monitoring from the PA, a small acoustic guitar combo might be worth considering. I have a Roland AC60 which is now discontinued but can be found second-hand. There's also a 30W version, the AC30. It has an anti-feedback filter and other effects such as reverb and chorus, and best of all it can be stuck on a speaker pole so it is at ear height and he'll be able to hear himself.
  6. I've used Brave. Like Chrome, it's based on the Chromium browser engine, but unlike Chrome it doesn't collect data about you and has many privacy and security features that Chrome lacks. I think it's a really good browser but I've remained on Firefox because I've been using it since it was first released and it does everything I need it to do. Tor is the browser that goes with the Tor network. I'm not sure you would want to just use the browser if you weren't using the Tor network. Mullvad's main product is a VPN. The Mullvad browser was developed by the Tor project team, the difference being that Mullvad browser is intended to be used with a VPN product (probably Mullvad) instead of the Tor network.
  7. Not seen this particular tool before, but EFF has a long and positive history so I'm inclined to trust them. My firefox browser gets a pretty good report. I guess it might be useful if you get a bad report and change your browser security model because of it. If this really bothers you, you should probably be looking at Privacy Badger, another of their tools.
  8. I have a Hbada butterfly, 3 years in and going strong. More expensive models are available. https://www.hbada.uk/collections/all
  9. Finally, something worth visiting Maidstone for!
  10. I think it's 'Walk On' by Corinne Bailey Rae
  11. Thats how I got started, aged about 11. My father came home with a cello strung in 4ths and I took to it quite well. After about a year, it was replaced with a chamber bass, which I believe is half size? Ray Cooper from Oysterband played a cello tuned in 5ths and put down some great basslines with the help of an octave pedal and various other electronic trickery.
  12. Brave Heart, never mind Open Heart! I salute you for having a go. Best wishes for a great outcome.
  13. I have a set of custom moulded ones which came from Specsavers. They take an impression and then either send it off to one of their partners to make the plugs, or you can send the impressions to your vendor of choice. The advantae of this is there are Specsavers hearing shops in most high streets so you don' t have to travel far to get the impressions done.
  14. Go to the post and click the 3 dots on the top right hand side. Select 'Report' and pick a suitable reason.
