1. 20 yrs 2. Yes, Peterson Stomp Classic 3. Electronic tuner 4. Tune to open E and then 5th fret 5. Yes, unless by ear 6. When I've tuned by ear it sounds OK to me, but I'm told that it's not 7. Nothing 8. Yes 9. Electronic tuner

Any idea what time you'll be on at the Billy tomorrow? I may have to come and see you

I've got one and I don't find the fan particularly intrusive. Great little amps though aren't they?

When I got my MS60-B I racked up 4 Boss ODB-3's on it, then my real ODB-3 and then the overdrive channel on my MB500 Fusion. I thought the planet [i]had[/i] exploded

My guitarist mate has been going on about Blackstars for ages. He finally got to try one earlier this year and... Turns out he prefers the Marshall sound

Does anyone else perform the role of cat herder/kitten wrangler for their band? I found the drummer and vox, and I've arranged our rolling booking at the rehearsal space. I print out the list of things to work on for the session, send the emails to make sure the others don't forget, even though it's the same time and place every other week and now I'm being asked to bring a lead for the second guitarist for the second time. Just once I'd like to turn up and play without micro managing the others! On the other hand, if people management is the price I have to pay for actually having a band then I'll happily pay it

Very neat, I like the industrial metal pegboard Is it particularly heavy?

I meant strap, get another of the OEM ones that is on the top and put it on one of the long sides.

Apart from difficulties with the actual fitting, is there any reason I can't put a handle on the side of my GK MB212 cab? It would make getting it out of the boot a lot easier!

I don't have any 7" singles, nor any 25 pdr shells

I "found" two ammo boxes in my garage last night, stamped P59 MK2 1945, neither have any original condition worth, one is completely brown and the other I painted black when I got it years ago. I'm thinking of rubbing the black one down and repainting it, either plain black again or an appropriate army green, and then foam lining the inside for use as a cable box or microphone case. Any other suggestions what else to do with them? I can see it being more of a pain to lug about with cables in than a shoulder bag, it would be different though!

I'm giving away 2x 1 litre of Shell Helix Plus 10w 40 and 1x 1 litre of Honda 0w 30 if anyone wants them. Unopened and free

Sean Yseult and Jennifer Finch as already mentioned, and Caroline Campbell and Rayna Foss.

Hopefully it's now complete! I've said that before tho... [url="http://s1118.photobucket.com/user/SOrchard6/media/DSCF7927_zps0576cc9a.jpg.html"][/url] Lights out! [url="http://s1118.photobucket.com/user/SOrchard6/media/DSCF7930_zps9c524fd1.jpg.html"][/url]

It's evolved, as these things do! I'm going to call it finished and sit back and admire it. Structurally it's much the same, except that it's now got a case which meant rebuilding it to fit the case height. The PSU has moved out from underneath and the triangular sides have gone in place of 15mm x15mm batons.

Another +1 for practice. We've only had two so far and we're sounding pretty good already haven't got much of a repertoire that we're all good at at the same time, but it's fun trying

Tried it over the weekend into my own cab using the practice room settings... By Crom was that loud! Back to sensible levels and all is well with the world. It sounds better than before, some of the knobs must have been nudged in transit and given a better setting! [quote name='SubsonicSimpleton' timestamp='1402652068' post='2475612'] I sincerely hope you mean that you used proper speaker cables with 1/4" jack connectors, and didn't actually use instrument cables to hook up the cabs to your amp. [/quote] I call them instrument cables because that's what they look like. I've no idea what they are, but as they were in situ on the Peavey rig I'm assuming that they're suitable.

It didn't feel right, and from what you're saying it isn't right so I'll either stick with the Peavey head or if I can be bothered next time I'll take my full rig along. I've got a proper speaker cable, but the Peavey units don't have a speakon connection. I think if I used the amp with the 212 as it's set up now then the house would fall down! Cheers

We were in a practice room for the first time last night *bounce, bounce* and there is a Peavey stack in it. A Mark VI XP head and two cabs, a single 15 and what looked like it may have been a 2x10. I took my GK MB500 Fusion head with me, just so that I could use it more than anything else, and used that with the Peavey cabs. The cabs are instrument cable connected and when I was only using the 15 I had to wind the head up, almost to the three quarter mark to get a sensible level. I then plugged the other cab in and brought it back down to below halfway. I've got two queries regarding this, was it louder because I was using both cabs so the head was producing it's stated 500w or was it louder because it was moving more air with three speakers instead of one? Or both! I've got a GK 212 at home, but I didn't bring it, but I'm now worried that it wouldn't be able to cope on it's own and I should look at getting another cab. Is running the head with the dial almost all the way 'round going to be normal when we use our own kit to gig or is it going to be a mismatch between my head and the Peavey cabs? I'll leave it at home next time and use the one in the room I think to save the magic smoke. TBH, I'm a bit surprised that I had to take it up so far which is why I'm worried. It's not a huge room though and maybe our drummer is a bit of a thug and we didn't realise...

I'd like some pointers on how to get a sensible synth effect from an MS60B please. I can't seem to get any nice noise out of it, I can get the "Peow" sound on the first note but then it either doesn't happen again or sort of does a long drawn out one over several notes. I've tried all the synth patches and they all have a little bit of what I want but not all in one. Maybe I need to read up on what the effects are copies of and see how the real thing worked.
