  1. The simplest way to do it is a DPDT (double pole, double throw) switch. It has 6 lugs: 1 | 4 2 | 5 3 | 6 2 and 5 are connected to the toggle lever, so when lug 1 connects to lug 2, lug 4 connects to 5 - this leaves lugs 3 and 6 unconnected. Same thing in reverse when you flick the switch - pin 2 connects to pin 3, and 5 connects to 6. Snip the wire from the crossover to the speaker in two - you now have 4 loose ends... Connect the 'Live' wire from the crossover to 2, and the 'Ground' to pin 5, then connect the 'Live' speaker cable to 3, and the speaker 'Ground' to 6.
  2. it's just a switch job - nut make sure that the switch is rated to carry the amount of juice that you'll be putting through it. Impedance wise it's a moot point, as the crossover inside the cab will effectively eliminate any change in the load that the amp sees.
  3. I recognise that sansamp clone layout- it’s John K’s layout (John Is a huge contributor on the diy pedal forums) and it’s superb. I notice it has the upgraded opamps too; sansamp use the humble TL074, but John’s layout has TLC2264s. If I hadn’t just finished making one I’d have had this! GLWTS
  4. Lovely fingers, bitsa Jazz/Stingray hybrid fretless (usually), pedalboard (mostly bypassed) DHA VT1 EQ. iEMs. not used an amp for too long. ☹️
  5. Spotted this the other day and though if this post - a BMC for £75. Definitely worth investigating.
  6. These are really good, I bought one for my fretless Jazz and liked it so much I put one in my fretted jazz as well. I might even put one in my P...
  7. Solid state drive and lots of fast RAM (assuming he’s using plugins) are an absolute must. There are modifications you can make to Windows (mostly turning off a load of unnecessary apps that run n the background), but Windows would not be my first choice; how does he feel about Linux as an OS?
  8. Rush at Sheffield on the Roll The Bones tour. Not sure if it was the first ‘big gig’ I’d been to, but that one stands out as being too loud.
  9. I got a Motörhead compilation that looks like this having heard Metallica’s ham-fisted cover versions of 4 classic ‘head tracks. I was not disappointed.
  10. I had one of these in the early 2000s - great bass. These are really playable, not too heavy and active eq to boot. Ultimately the string spacing was a little too tight for my ‘agricultural’ right hand technique.
  11. This bad boy: It’s got this beautiful booklet that strips away the layers of the figure on the front, so I took a punt on it. It also contained some of the best music I’d heard for a good long while.
  12. Bumperoo, will trade for a cheap looper pedal.
  13. Johnny Kick a Hole in the Sky - Red Hot Chili Peppers

    As long as it’s filtered I can’t see much difference; typically drive and boost circuits don’t drain much juice.
