Agreed. The money I spent on my lessons was worth so much more than if I'd bought another guitar. Just wish I'd kept it up.

Played a birthday party in a large function room of a pub. It was a timeless experience for a musician. How many have played to that exact crowd in that exact environment down through the years? Made me smile to reflect on this passion of ours, and made me realise how much I love it. Every part of it, from the hours of fiddling with effects at home, right through to the late night motorway drive back. Quite simply I'm where I should be.

Well my little clean up operation obviously worked. Gigged ťhe same amp/cab combination as last week with no problems at all. Dust blower and switch cleaner may not be the most hi tech tools but they did the job.

I must say the 9v output is genius, and the gain / tuner led array also. Any new amp not designed with tuner and 9v out is really missing a trick. Also I think bluetooth would be a good idea. Just pair with your phone and play away, no need for aux soxkets. Oh and a built in wireless receiver. Think I'll go have a lie down, enough geniusing for one day.

*cough* pictures *cough*

It's OK Al, Cat did say it happens but it shouldn't. I really didn't mean to open a can of worms.

Sorry I didn't mean to make a big deal it's not honestly, just didn't want to be inadvertently making work for you guys

I had a comment moderated for mentioning what excellent value for money a pedal was. I don't expect to be above the law, in fact I don't want to run foul of the mods in any way, their job is thankless enough. I only bother mentioning it because it strikes me that people saying wow great price, or this is really cheap, and so forth are some of the most common reactions we see here.

I have some weird flu virus which makes thinking more challenging than usual. This slows my already rudimentary transcription skills below useful levels.

Working on it now Stevie. Should be done by sometime next week.

Ironically the only thing I have is a bag of corners

Thanks Bill, I switched to speakons during the gig. Thanks Phil, I squirted and cleaned all the pots and gave them a good wiggle. Been working just fine at home and last night in rehearsal so maybe was just dust.

Until now.

Spoilsport. As we're being serious, I've never dived into the world of the Muff, how do they differ from others of their ilk? I prefer something a little smooth to a full on fuzz, but I'm always open to temptation.

Sorry @Balcro I missed this - thank you so much for the reply.

I bought it because of the price. I had one conflict with, of all things, the drummer using a wireless of a different make on his keytar (I know) which caused me to experience a weird lagging latency. He ent stright to the PA via cable and all was good. Otherwise no issues at all. I like the size of the unit, I like being able to power off a 9v supply or a usb, I like being able to set it up for different basses and save the set ups, and I like the tuner.

This thread could go south very quickly

And its Tone's DNA apparently. Guess they must have had it tested.

I changed the cable on the night and it worked fine bar a couple of brief cut outs. I did check the speaker out. Think I'll run them for a week practising and at rehearsal. Maybe the clean up has fixed it

ps I suspect its important that the dna is 'vintage' and not just any crappy modern dna.

Watch out, there's a new boy in town. Electro Harmonix advert for a Big Muff reads "EHX has reissued the original 1973 V2 Violet Ram's Head Big Muff Pi and it's dripping with vintage Electro-Harmonix DNA and tone." So I shall rush off to amend my for-sale ads to include the fact that they are replete with the DNA appropriate to thrir manufacturers. Also I am very interested to learn that DNA and tone both 'drip', I had missed this fascinating fact in my admittedly limited study of the science.
