Orange Tiny Terrors are awesome recording amps. 7 or 15W output, but them's [i]loud[/i] watts.

Yup, definitely something about keyboard players. I've been in bands with a few and they were all (with 2 exceptions) twats of the highest order. The 2 exceptions though are 2 of the most helpful, self-effacing and lovely people you could wish to meet.

I bought the "mod core" pedal this year and it's superb. Cast metal casing, quality switches and knobs and sounds superb. I bought it as a cheap chorus for recording some guitar parts, but the tremolo and rotary speaker simulator in particular are superb. I'm using it on my bass now.

I'm a musician, I just happen to prefer the bass to any other instrument I've tried.

I've used boiled linseed oil on rosewood boards but it can take a while to dry.

Just given it a go - it's very 'PSP Vintage Warmer' sounding - and that's a good thing in my book!

Cool, I'll give that a go…

You may be giving the sound engineer a massive headache, as there can be phase problems between the DI and the microphone signal.

is that a pre-Fender Prius or a Chinese one?

We seem to have a thread for every other kind of amp/bass/pick but I can't believe we don't have a Hybrid porn thread. In an effort to rectify this oversight with alacrity I started one. All of my decent pics are at home, so I'll use this one as a place holder… [URL=http://s1221.photobucket.com/user/paul_510/media/2013-10-03120020_zps0354fe0c.jpg.html][IMG]http://i1221.photobucket.com/albums/dd471/paul_510/2013-10-03120020_zps0354fe0c.jpg[/IMG][/URL] I [i]love[/i] this amp. SWR SM400 (1993). More to follow.

[quote name='kevin_lindsay' timestamp='1387999765' post='2317824'] I got this as an unexpected present - result! [url="http://s7.photobucket.com/user/kevin_lindsay/media/Andy%20Summers%20tribute%20Tele/20131225_130401.jpg.html"][/url] [/quote] Nice those. Good effort Santa!

well, I got socks and spent the day on 'Lego® train set duties'. Result on both counts.

Yup, Happy Birthday Lemmy. Don't go mad - we need you!

Family time & socks (hopefully).

Another vote for Tim 'Herb' Alexander here. Danny Carey from Tool Actually, could I play with Herb twice?

[quote name='UglyDog' timestamp='1387675229' post='2314522'] 1. Always, always use IC sockets -- don't solder 8-pin op-amps etc. direct to the board. I'd also recommend using transistor sockets. 2. Use a heat sink when working with certain components, e.g. 1N34 diodes, as they don't like getting too hot. 3. Don't attempt to solder your fingers into the circuit. It hurts. [/quote] all of the above. Transistor sockets are useful, as you can often swap transistors to change how much gain/raspiness etc a fuzz pedals have, same with diodes (depending on the circuit).

Oh yeah, and "heat seeker" by AC/DC.

Great for tunes like "Rocket" by Def Leppard, "Seek and Destroy" by Metallica, "Love Missile F1-11" by Sigue Sigue Sputnik (or PWEI if you prefer) etc…
