  1. I used to commute to Birmingham, each spring I had this odd experience where my eyes would water as I was driving down the M42 for a month or so. After several years I eventually realised it was hay-fever... or more likely tree pollen. I still get a bit of it but the odd thing is if I take a single antihistamine tablet, it pretty much goes away until the next year.
  2. Isn't Ab to G 6 to 5 rather than 5 to 6?
  3. Gutted as I got rung up before my swimming lesson... cancelled due to a kid gaving an 'accident'. 💩 Rung up again a bit later as I'd booked lane swimming for afterwards.
  4. Who cares? Great opportunity!
  5. I couldn't find that yesterday! Except I have notifications turned off.
  6. I've started swimming. after a 30 year break.
  7. Barg.

      Barge? Have you dropped an E?

  8. Anything I comment on gets followed by default. I can't see a way to change that.
  9. Following is activated by default if you comment on a thread.
  10. Originals band up to 9 songs now, plus we added a lead guitarist tonight. First gig booked. Finished by jamming a few songs including Sweet Transvestite 😁
  11. I will have a play... never had any questions about varying levels from a sound guy.
  12. Indeed.. Hobgoblin Birmingham were very patient and helpful to me in the past.
  13. Indeed... we went by train last time as parking tipped the cost balance. One time we got an air bnb that had a resident permit. Another time we arranged for a sheaf of 'scratch off the date' parking permits to be in our room whrn we arrived.
  14. It's possible, I don't remember if I entered it, but I know it was pre-covid. I recorded it while house sitting for my brother.
  15. Seems that circuit diagram is for the Terror 500 mk 1 do you have the diagram for the Terror mk2?
  16. In the days before Speakon, I used to make my own speaker leads using (orange) twin-core 13A mains cable. I used high quality metal body jacks with internal plastic insulation over the tip connection and I fitted heat shrink over the metal body and strain relief to minimise the risk of any shorts.
  17. No it doesn't. It's post gain but before master volume.
  18. Orange Terror. The DI level is affected by the gain setting but not master volume. In my experience this is how most amps work, with DI taken between preamp and power amp.
  19. Went well. We only played through the first set, then did some troubleshooting... usual stuff, an established band has its own arrangements. Quite how they fitted in an extra two beats to each chorus of Milk and Alcohol eludes and confuses me... Knowing I'm up to speed on the second set is a confidence boost as I start gigging with them in July. Originals tomorrow night... keeping four bands' worth of songs in your head is good brain training!
  20. I can't enter this as it's several years old, but it fits the theme and is a bit different, so just for fun:
  21. Why RMS? As most AC signals are symmetrical around zero, their mean value is zero. As 'a minus times a minus is a plus' the process of squaring a negative value then finding its root makes it positive. So RMS effectively means 'flipping' the part of a waveform below the zero live and then averaging all the values. If this is reminiscent of calculus, that is because it is. Theoretical RMS values are easily calculated. True RMS values are more tricky to measure. Most meters assume a sine wave. True rms meters are more complex and costly, although for audio signals a good moving iron meter will do the job.
