You shouldn't do that - Hawkwind

You can upload sound files, other users have done it, but it's not something that I've done myself so although I'm not certain I'd guess you just upload it as you would a picture using the Choose files option. That's on the desktop version of the site, I'm not sure if it works the same on the mobile version.

That doesn't sound quite right to me. Although I've not had one of these Ampeg units I have had a few different pre-amps over the years and none have been excessively noisy, IMO. Obviously if you start adding high gain drive and lots of high end then things get inherently noisier but at clean and low gain settings you shouldn't really be having the problems you describe. And all the pre's that I've used have had plenty of volume boost available too, even with clean sounds, so if you're having to crank it to reach unity then it sounds like something's not right. If you bought it new there should be at least a 12 month manufacturers warranty so drop the retailer a line about getting it replaced. If you bought used there's not a lot you can do about it, unfortunately.

Too young to fall in love - Motley Crue

Therapy? Now there's a band who have penned some catchy, cracking tunes over the last 30 odd years...

Sweaty Betty - The Mac Lads

No mention of New Model Army yet, some fantastic bass playing on the first 2 albums, Vengeance and No rest for the wicked. Check out the title track of the second album;

Young, gifted and skint - New Model Army

I can't believe these guys haven't been mentioned yet...

Working from home the past god know how long has led me to discover and rediscover some cracking music. A band that I used to listed to a lot in the 90's but then I lost touch with was Fugazi, an American post hardcore band that mixed in a dub like vibe at times. This is one of my favourite tunes, I think it was originally released in around 1990 but still sounds great today, helped by the fact the band were doing their own thing so haven't dated like a lot of music does.

The nightmare continues - Discharge

House of the rising sun - The Animals

Sweet leaf - Black Sabbath

Lights out - UFO

My medicine - Wilt

Day of the lords - Joy Division

Nobody home - Deep Purple

Like the colour of that (although I have a personal aversion to tort) and those SX basses seem to get really good reviews considering their inexpensive price. What are you r initial impressions?

Big dumb sex - Soundgarden

I'm only happy when it rains - Garbage

I just can't be happy today - The Damned

Crash course in brain surgery - Budgie

Oooh, this could be a cracking little unit especially if it can do the drive sound that's built into the Magellan 800, which is more like a pushed valve amp, very natural sounding, slightly compressed, smooth drive with an inherent mid-bump that sits just right in the mix. If it does that sound, and by blurb suggests it does, along with the additional flexibility of high and low pass filters and an adjustable clean blend, then I think this will be a very popular unit and a much needed counterpoint to modern scooped, clanky drive pedals.
