Thais is unimaginably horrific, best wishes and healing vibes going N’s way. 😢

Rusty cage - Soundgarden

Me too, but it is very 'moreish'...

y'know, he's a multi-instrumentalist too - looks like he'd give Geddy Lee a run for his money...

Dunno, it results in a much bigger build, so maybe. Solder joints are bigger , so more secure, but also solder joints are bigger, so increased resistance… I think it’s a nostalgia thing to be honest; I know people who build tube amps with tag board and they look amazing, but don’t sound any different. long term though, they’re easier to repair!

yeah, they're GNARLY!!!! Occasionally one will come up for sale on here, you could always place a 'Wanted' ad though.

OOF!! Proper tagboard and everything!

Idiotbox Blowerbox. Based on the Rat, but tuned for bass.

Yeppers - this is an AMAZING album!!!

Can I just add,in addition to the EHX I use the Vox AP2-CL headphone amp, it’s designed for guitar, but has a clean channel,Fender Bassman (which is actually quite good for bass), and an overdrive channel (less useful). It has a gain control, tone (essentially a LPF) and a volume control. it also has chorus,delay and reverb effects,and of course the line in for iPods etc… of the ‘amp sim’ headphone units I’ve tried this has been the most useful, but still quite plasticky.

EHX headphone amp is brilliant - tiny, but like a tank, and clips onto a strap. The only downside is that it doesn’t have an aux in, but I love mine. there’s no amp simulation, so it’s brutally honest and will reveal flaws in your technique - I altered my playing during my first 3 months. https://www.ehx.com/products/headphone-amp/

From 9’06” - oof!!! 😛

Dipped for a local function/party and last week. No rehearsals, just parachuted in and off we go. really good to play live again, had some very complimentary feedback from punters and BL, so happy days. god I missed gigging!!

I think you pay extra for one that hasn’t been, erm, ‘improved’…

Dave Hall pedals have an internal ‘charge pump’ that doubled the voltage internally, so a 9v dc supply would become 18 by the time it hit the components. I tried my DHA deals at 12v, then experimented with them at 9v - there was a noticeable difference in the sound; the break up came in earlier and the tone control didn’t sound as good.

This is an incredibly beautiful song.

Jizzlobber - Faith No More Harder than your husband - Zappa

Is that Paddy’s Ashdown then?

Look interesting. Might have to give that a go.
