Colin Greenwood (Radiohead) has to be the least rock n'roll name ever. I think he'd actually be too risqué to be a geography teacher. Great playing and really inventive playing though.

My personal favourite is the Ampeg SVP into any preamp that you'd care to mention. It'll do subtle amounts of honest-to-goodness tube besmirching right up to pig-shit filth; remarkable piece of kit!

As would Honey Badger. Also a great porn star name n'est ce pas?

Shake Hands With Beef - Primus

Probably 'Midnight Hour' or similar. The first song I learned* from TAB was a transcription of Freewill by Rush. That was from one of my brother's guitar magazines that he'd left lying around the house. *Not completely, but probably over 80%

Just a word of caution - welding nozzle cleaners work fine with plastic nuts, but they really struggle getting through bone ones.

Theme from "Midnight Cowboy" - Faith No More (and others, obvs).

I'd recommend DHA stuff any day off the week, good luck finding one though!

I can get close enough (for a bar full of punters) on a Jazz bass by turning the bridge pickup off entirely and rolling a little bit of the tone off - gives a nice boost in volume too.

My favourites have always been the Wal 4 strings, a bit clunky for some tastes, but that’s just me. Their 5 and 6 strings are exactly the opposite; too much of a departure for me I think. Warwicks have a similar aesthetic, so I’m quite fond of those and they have the added bonus of ergonomic tuner layout which I like. They’re like an ‘MDP’ but good!

Welcome to the Machine - Pink Floyd

As Bremen says, it’s a simple enough job, but it won’t be half as pretty. Can I add a second option - a cheap loop pedal with this in the Send and Return with an LED will allow it to function exactly as you described, but will leave your NE-1 in tip-top condition.

A bit of delay on the guitar solo can work wonders , and it doesn’t need to be loud either - not sure whether yours will understand this concept though 😄

Ah, a scholar and a gentleman!

Yep, get the hats open a bit more and stay off the ride!

0.175?!? Jesus, what are you going to use that for, parking your bike?!

Limo Wreck - Soundgarden

Best. Filter. Ever. I love mine! My settings are almost exactly the same as yours too!

Rat Tomago - Zappa

I use compressor > octave > fuzz/drive > envelope filter > chorus for some Stevie Wonder-esque squelchy synth tones.

Add an envelope filter and you’ve nailed it - I do exactly this!

It's a Jed'sPeds PCB of thew EQD warden optical compressor. all soldered up and boxed and with a couple of tweaks it's great! Also, I desoldered the onboard charge pump components and used the 18vdc supply from my power brick, so I'm even further away from the starting line by a handful of components (a 7660S IC, two diodes, and two electrolytic capacitors!) Oh, I also 'upgraded' the opamp from a TL072 to an LM833 - lovely sounding circuit.

Next time I'd drill a slightly deeper pilot hole for the screw - small screws like this don't tend to be high grade steel, and they shear off when too much torque is applied.

Drill a small hole through the centre and carefully glue an even smaller allen key in there, then when the glue has set simply unscrew it. It'll cost you an allen key, but it'll stop you needing to resort to more drastic measures.

I’m in. Got to finish a compressor pcb that I bought last year and finish fixing my DHA VT1 dual custom; neither of which were bought in 2025, and I reckon I’m good.
