[quote name='peterjam' post='1170346' date='Mar 21 2011, 09:56 AM']Here's my current rig and pedal board. The signal splits after the stereo chorus, so that the bottom end goes through the volume pedal into the 1x15" cabinet. [attachment=75342:P3200638.JPG] [attachment=75341:P3200639.JPG] I've just bought a Boss DD-7 delay pedal and I'm looking at the MXR M82 Envelope Filter, as the DOD is getting a bit tired. I'm also considering a Digitech Bad Monkey for the 'treble' side of the effects chain, but it seems to really polarise opinion - it's either the greatest distortion ever or not even a good doorstop. I can feel a visit to a guitar shop coming on! 24th March - I took the plunge and bought a Bad Monkey pedal, and it's fab! I haven't built it into my signal chain yet, but it sound pretty cool on its own.. I've read elsewhere that it sucks tone even when its off, but I can't hear a huge difference. Distorted chorus anyone?[/quote] How far does the light stick out on the Behringer PL2000? I'd quite like one but I only have about 5 or 6cm space in the front cover of my rack case and I'm worried it won't fit. I have been unable to find anywhere with the relevant information.

Thanks for the advice! I have spent most of today failing to replicate the fault. I don't know if this is a good thing or a bad thing... Still, I shall go ahead and give it all a clean out anyway. I have a little more confidence thanks to your comments.

I recently bought an old Peavey 410TX but it has a problem (other than the ugly flames someone has painted on the front...). At certain frequencies, it farts. I'm fairly certain that it's the L-Pad causing the problem, when I turn the knob on the back it sounds like opening a rusty gate. So I'm going to have a go at reconditioning it myself. I do have some experience with electronics and have relevant testing equipment. But I thought I would ask here if anyone else has had any experience with the insides of this cab, or any cab likely to have the same insides, as it's too late in the evening to start now (I've never had a complaint form the neighbours but I don't want to upset them). I'm hoping that just cleaning stuff up will do the trick, but if it doesn't are the parts that might need replacing readily available? Such as the rusty sounding L-Pad. I am assuming that it's just a large version of a standard pot, so I can open up the pot it's self to clean the inside of it. I'd rather not be told just to ditch it and get something better... If the worst comes to the worst I shall just bypass the crossover and not bother with the tweeter, which would be a shame. Thanks for reading and for any help you can offer.

I have an Aria Pro II MAB-20/5 (1991). It is 15mm at the bridge and about 9mm at the nut. I've always found it really easy to play and I've got pretty chunky fingers. I recently got myself something with 19mm spacing though. It took a couple of hours to get used to, but in some ways it's is easier to play. So I think it's worth trying a few different ones and really taking your time with each one to be sure.

£1 for 3mm Big Stubbies. I was doing the rounds of the local(ish) guitar shops for the first time since moving here. I had been in a few shops that didn't stock them, so, as gutted as I was at the price, I bought 3 (usually buy half a dozen at a time, and usually only 60p each). The very next shop I went into had them for 60p each, but, as I ended up buying a Bass while I was in there, he gave me some for free!
