When I was looking for a cab I came across a few Goliath III's (I ended up with a Goliath one). As I recall they were £300-£350'ish, can't remember what impedance they were, but I imagine the 8ohm's are less in demand than the 4ohm's, also as I recall the metal grille versions are less regarded (apparently they rattle or something). No idea about the Carvin though.

I imagine there's a government advice document somewhere about men making internet posts asking for women in block capitals.

I'd give max (silentfly on here) an email. His website's [url="http://sfxsound.co.uk"]here[/url], I'd imagine he'll have some ideas for a custom system he could build you, I remember he built an audio tuner for a blind bassist a while back (which may have been you thinking about it)

The new Oceansize album, the slightly macarbley titled Self Preserved While The Bodies Float Up. My face, it is melted. The songs aren't as good as frames (on which every song was amazing) but it just sits together as an album beautifully.

You can get a new BMS which is smaller and TB, but it doesn't sound as good. Power Brick - [url="http://www.johnnyshredfreak.com/store/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=8&products_id=12"]This[/url] it's beyond amazing. It's basically the diago PSU's they sell for £70. I've had mine for 2 years and it's powered about 15 pedals at one point. It would be an amazing PSU for £50 for £11 it's borderline theft. Only downsides are it only provides 9v tip negative (boss style) power, which some pedals (digitech whammys, line6, a lot of EHX pedals) don't take. Also, get a diago daisychain. It'll probably cost you as much as that powersupply but it's worth it. May I also premept the dozen suggestions you're about to get to get a dirt pedal. Get a dirt pedal. There's a billion different options so it depends on your band sound etc. But you need a dirt pedal, or 5 (my record is 6 at the same time). Welcome to the world of pedalmania, you may want to take pawn your silverware now to save time.

Go directly to OC-2, do not pass go, do not collect £200.

Apparently they're perfect for circuit bending if you're that way inclined, i'm very tempted myself they seem cool

The sound of my life and sanity slowly draining away also some oceansize

Rest In Peace

Did "tribfest" conjure up a very different image for anybody else? Or is it just my smutty mind and extensive vocabulary?

I use my Turbo Rat, Mastotron, oc-2 set to full direct and abour half oct-1, and my Groove Regulator. Sounds pretty much dead on to me. Although to do it really properly you'll need a Low Pass Filter with an expression pedal for the pre-chorusy bits, but to be honest I doubt anyone will notice.

ZVex Mastotrron, near enough to the wooly mammoth, effectively gated and a lot more versatile, can sound quite synthy
