I used to play this in a Bowie tribute (well, you just would), most enjoyable but I would never have guessed that was the original tone.

Secret World - Peter Gabriel

This Used To Be My Playground - Madge

Roundabout - Yes

Royal Orleans - LZ

Assassing - Marillion

Gums & Noses Ashbone U Wish Heartfakers

Ah, the sonic oil monkey.

Storyteller's Night - Magnum

Staring at the Sun - U2

Dreamline - Rush

I've been called worse.

A great many of those I have witnessed 'riding the faders' seemed to have just chucked it all in a bucket and given it a good stir rather than sculpt it. This does not apply to all of those twirling the knobs, I have a close friend who runs a sound reinforcement company and his mixes are superb.

Another term for an engineer without the relevant degree is oily rag (I know this, I was one once). Sound can also mean, reliable, honest etc. Therefore, to avoid any confusion - Sonic Oily Rag?

I'd Rather Go Blind - Etta James and numerous others

I can't think it wouldn't be totally worth it.

Dirty Diana - Michael Jackon

The Clapping Song - Shirley Ellis

Did you fit an Artec? If so, how is it?

White Lines (Don’t Do It) - GMF & Melle Mel

Lick It Up - Kiss

Teenage Rampage - Sweet

Warm Wet Circle - Marillion

Owner of a Lonely Heart - Yes

My first, proper rig was an Ashdown ABM 300 2x10 + 2x10 cab. Sounded good, but was a beast to lug around. Eventually bought another 2x10 cab and replaced the combo with an ABM head. Still bloody heavy and bulky, despite the neodymium speakers I retrofitted. The flat, baked in, scooped tone sounded great soloed, but needed fiddling with live. However, that fliptop is so pretty.
