Just noticed... he seems to have completely missed that the Joyo has a gain knob....

Good luck. My experience of seeing someone about technique was they only wanted to teach theory.

How do these doublers work? If they are just commoned wires whichever output has the highest voltage will be doing nearly all the work.

I have a high power solder station with temperature control now, means I can use a 1mm bit or a point and work with smd or tackle larger stuff with ease. But it costs six times as much.

If I only had one iron, I'd paradoxically choose a smaller one, as you'll cause more grief overheating delicate electronic components than having to spend 30-40 seconds getting a pot case up to temperature. YMMV.

It was slow with the 15W antex, but doable with patience and a 4mm tip. I did it many times in the past.

Can you have toneplugs?

£35. https://www.antex.co.uk/store/p/m12-w9wdk-mg96e-y7lr5 Get one of these and a cheap stand off eBay. Mine lasted about 40 years.

Essential repair?

Mine will be used for work from time to time as an alternative to over-ear protectors when feasible.

That is eminently sensible... I went with plain transparent as I don't want to draw attention to them, which I may regret.

How many dB attenuation can I get with one Jelly Belly? Will two Jelly Beans double the attenuation?

It blew the felt off of a third of my workshop roof 😞

On Friday the second song on the setlist was 'Walk in my Shadow'. Alex called 'Walk in My Shadow'. Not long after, having played a bar of Walk in My Shadow in Gm, I seamlessly transition to The Hunter in Am which is what Alex and Paul are playing...

You've seen the colour of my earwax!

Now I have decision paralysis!

The IEM thing made me ask, but I am thinking of investing in earmoulded plugs.

Lots of licenced Fender merch turns up in Tesco and Asda, decent quality at good prices. I just happen to be wearing this...

In six month's time the 'super portable' rig will be the size of an Ampeg stack with all the add-ons...

I bought a new handle for the case I use for my Performer about ten years ago. I finally fitted it a few months ago ...

Back in the day when they did the 'heavy' version of Matty Groves it could be a bit wild.

Would ear protection count as a fail? Seems a bit shortsighted if we disincentivise safety.

First gig of the year last night. Bluesfire at the Bush. Couple of mates of the guitarist and the drummerxs brother in, plus several familiar faces. Free pint of Guinness. Had a 'bucket' of sweet potato fries 🤗 one day I'll get there early enough to sample their pizza. Experimented with a bit of mid boost, and I got positive comments on the tone. AVII, Orange Terror and AT212 slim. A good gig but I had the wrong inserts in my earplugs for the first set, so took them out after two songs. Used the right ones for set two. Made a few fluffs but nothing too bad. My technique has improved a little recently, made a few changes to what I play. Got a couple of compliments 😁 Back at 1pm 😴
