I’ve been playing about with a valvecaster circuit recently. I’m running it at 18v with an internal 12v regulator for the plates on the ecc83. Pretty nice but still playing about with a blend circuit on it too!

The SVP won't break up as it's not designed to. The SVP PRO will add valve drive by pushing a 12AU7 into overdrive, but it's not just diode clipping. 10001c1_.pdf Page 2 shows the arrangement and use of the 5 preamp tubes - V4 is the 12AU7 responsible for the 'drive' circuit. It can sound a bit 'fizzy' when running direct to a desk, but through a power amp and an 8x10 it's glorious.

I once took a banjo to a local luthier shortly before he died, and he snapped it in half and burnt the pieces. God, I miss him.

The octaver on my line 6 M5 is surprisingly good for a unit that’s 16 years old!

My brother is looking a clear P bass scratch plate. Does anyone know of a manufacturer who can do one? NW England.

Great news. I can't imagine three years without playing!

Truly bönkers!

Moi aussi. Geddy has always had a unique tone, but the Moving Pictures/Subdivisions era are just untouchable.

yes, all of the earths need to be connected together. Top Tip - soldering to the back of pots can be tricky, as they have some plating on the back of them that makes it difficult. Use some wire wool or fine grit glass/sand paper to take to coating off so that the solder adheres better to the bare metal.

Nine!

I’ve never found mine to be all that ‘Lemmy’. It’s a useful distortion pedal in its own right, but doesn’t really get near to the classic Motörhead sound.
