  1. Do eeeeet !
  2. It's written like a GCSE project where they're trying to pad the word count. Yes, it's AI.
  3. I really like her videos. No talking, no fuss. Just the work being done.
  4. Rick Beato is the gimmer's gimmer,
  5. Well, bearing in mind this is a try-out-at-home-as-loud-as-I-dare try out, not against a drummer. But I did bloody crank it.. I'd say the 500 is louder - by much ? I played it though an SWR 2x12 and an Ampeg SVT210AV and it certainly made everything rattle more in my boxy studio, so by that yardarm quite a bit ! I think the 500 sounded better at that volume as well- more controlled. Also, I didn't have to turn the gain up as much with the 500, which gave the compressor a bit more control and over all less hiss. If you can stretch to the 500 do. The 250 is going back, even though it kindof takes it out of the price bracket I'd set myself. They're nice-sounding amp's too, overall I'm impressed. Oh, and the fan isn't loud, which was a worry. It's audible, but it's like a gas fire, not a whine. Quite relaxing.
  6. Me too. Every time I gig or go to practice I take some pedals off my board as I don't use them live or can do without them. I'm almost always on public transport so I don't cart around what I'm not going to use.
  7. Very easily, a new clone just needs to be activated and we're back in business...
  8. I bought a BQ250 about a week ago, but I was concerned about whether it'll have enough welly, given TCE's attitude to power ratings... So a BQ500 arrived today - when it's warmed up from the van and I'm back from veg shopping I'll let you know how they compare.
  9. In terms of bad bad news, this year has been the worst since my Dad died in 2020. Here's to a new year with better tidings for all.
  10. I would recommend, as a few have, a Jack Casady, but it fails on these points.
  11. @MrDinsdale I have a Rusty Box, what would you like to know ?
  12. The guitarist in the band I was in at university got us back together for his 50th, although minus the drummer as he couldn't be found. Fantastic evening but no intention of doing it again...that was kind of the point.
  13. Ouch...It's like they tried to put a scratchplate on and missed !
