  1. I've used Brave. Like Chrome, it's based on the Chromium browser engine, but unlike Chrome it doesn't collect data about you and has many privacy and security features that Chrome lacks. I think it's a really good browser but I've remained on Firefox because I've been using it since it was first released and it does everything I need it to do. Tor is the browser that goes with the Tor network. I'm not sure you would want to just use the browser if you weren't using the Tor network. Mullvad's main product is a VPN. The Mullvad browser was developed by the Tor project team, the difference being that Mullvad browser is intended to be used with a VPN product (probably Mullvad) instead of the Tor network.
  2. Not seen this particular tool before, but EFF has a long and positive history so I'm inclined to trust them. My firefox browser gets a pretty good report. I guess it might be useful if you get a bad report and change your browser security model because of it. If this really bothers you, you should probably be looking at Privacy Badger, another of their tools.
  3. This is already a bargain - I paid £165 for mine second-hand and was glad to find one at that price.
  4. I have a Hbada butterfly, 3 years in and going strong. More expensive models are available. https://www.hbada.uk/collections/all
  5. Finally, something worth visiting Maidstone for!
  6. I think it's 'Walk On' by Corinne Bailey Rae
  7. Thats how I got started, aged about 11. My father came home with a cello strung in 4ths and I took to it quite well. After about a year, it was replaced with a chamber bass, which I believe is half size? Ray Cooper from Oysterband played a cello tuned in 5ths and put down some great basslines with the help of an octave pedal and various other electronic trickery.
  8. Brave Heart, never mind Open Heart! I salute you for having a go. Best wishes for a great outcome.
  9. I have a set of custom moulded ones which came from Specsavers. They take an impression and then either send it off to one of their partners to make the plugs, or you can send the impressions to your vendor of choice. The advantae of this is there are Specsavers hearing shops in most high streets so you don' t have to travel far to get the impressions done.
  10. Go to the post and click the 3 dots on the top right hand side. Select 'Report' and pick a suitable reason.
  11. I bought a pedal from Aidan. He despatched it very promptly and it arrived on time and immaculately packaged, with the original box wrapped in bubble wrap, fitted into a custom-made cardboard box and the whole lot sealed in a jiffy bag.
  12. For bass I agree, but it's very useful to beef up an acoustic guitar in conjunction with the range control set to about 11 oclock, so you can thumb-pick bass lines on the bottom two strings. Thanks for a great review, very informative.
  13. Check out Ben's work with the Full English, which was led by Fay Hield, also on the Duets album, and featured various folk music superstars. I saw them play at a festival once, they were superb.
  14. By "amp", I meant that I don't have any information for the EA Doubler. I did find the data sheet for the 250ASX2 module, but the block diagram on there doesn't appear to show a mute switch. Which block diagram are you looking at? I think the SMPS part of the module is working, since there is DC power going to the pre-amp boards and I get a signal from the Effects Send output. Thanks for the help you've given me. I think this will be going to an amp tech, assuming that I can find one with the skills, experience and inclination to work on it. Most of the guys I know round here are old-school valve amp types. I'd just like to gather as much information as possible to pass on.
