Thanks, yep, unfortunately I have other health issues which mean when I get something it really does a number on me. Already fully jabbed to the nines. Feeling a bit better this morning but still quite dizzy so I suspect discretion is probably the better part of valour in this case... 😭

I’ve spent the last few months practising for our big winter concert with the pop orchestra I play with. For the second year on the bounce, I’m coming down with flu the night before the gig. If it’s anything like the what my wife currently has, I’ll be in no fit state to play. Months of work down the pan. Grrr I hate getting ill!!!

GSS Sumo Monster - That Watts Vs Volume thing?
Jakester replied to Jaybeevee's topic in Amps and Cabs
I had a Baby Sumo; I had exactly the same issue; I think that although the preamp I was using was supposedly a line level output, it wasn't enough to properly drive the amp, meaning for a given value compared to an 'all in one' amp it was quieter. You could try another preamp before/after your main output, or try a buffer pedal that could up the output. -

I find I don't need to do anything, I tend to get people afterwards being far more complimentary if I've been playing the upright than an electric - and that's with my very rudimentary upright skills (which are far worse than my electric skills). It seems to start conversations in a way that other instruments don't (and not just of the "ho ho, bet you've got a big car..." type).

You might be better off using a decent set of studio headphones, rather than studio monitors? That way you get decent sound reproduction at a lower cost than having to shell out for quality studio monitors and a subwoofer. That said, I bought some low/mid-range (i.e. cheap) full range active studio monitors and I can hear the bass just fine through them without any need for a sub etc.

Schalltechnik_04 Vong Filterung adjustable HPF/LPF pedal. Bought off here, haven't really got round to using, so surplus to requirements! Built by @LukeFRC: Quite a handy thing - switchable HPF and LPF (with frequency sweep), and volume/boost control and DI with ground lift. Technical info here: https://schalltechnik04.de/en/instructions/vong-filterung Selling for what I paid, which is £75 posted.

Digitech Whammy Ricochet pedal for sale. I've gone HX Stomp so this is surplus to requirements. It comes with box etc but no PSU. It was sold to me as having had the footswitch replaced. It's occasionally a bit sticky - you may need once in a while to trigger it a couple of times to get it to release. Otherwise works fine - hence low price. £70 posted.

There's an article here about modding one so you can add an external cab at the same time (I know that's not exactly what you're asking) but that seems to suggest it can run a 4ohm load so I don't see why you couldn't do as you suggest - but the mods might make it more useable all-round: https://www.premierguitar.com/gear/ask-amp-man-modding-a-pro-junior-for-an-extension-cab

Changing Pots on a Semi - Any Tips or Hacks?
Jakester replied to Obrienp's topic in Repairs and Technical
Ah, this explains why a guitar tech mate of mine had a large bag of surgical tubing in his shop. I was getting a little worried.... -

I think if it’s just for vocals, and the singer is pushing for it, I’d say it’s up to them. I’ve generally supplied PA for bands I’ve been in simply because I’ve been the only one interested enough in figuring out what we need and how it works! Does mean I need to bring a lot more stuff to gigs (particularly when I’m doing drums!) so it’s getting a bit tiresome now…

You mean for mounting things into the rack case? If so, any standard rack screws etc will work. I bought a load off Amazon or eBay (can’t remember which).
