If that is the case then I am astounded that RS still sell it. https://uk.rs-online.com/web/p/solders/2954820/

And most places, including RS. I don't think it is llegal for small scale & repair work? But cannot be used in consumer electronics or volume manufacturing anymore.

As already said, to a large extent sound proof also means airtight. This means sealling all the joints! Its, worth noting that if you build a 6 x 2m stud wall but leave a 1mm gap all round its like having a 144 (5.5") diameter hole in the wall, which you wouldn't expect to be sound proof! The weak points are doors and windows. Double glazing helps, but use a panel that has different thicknesses of glass (so they don't both resonate at the same frequency), and you may need a further secondary unit (different thickness again). Door needs to be very substantial (I built one on staggered stud design - a two man lift) and multiple seals around the edges. Alternatively have two well sealed doors with the wall thickness air gap in between. Cavity walls are not as good as you might think, and are probably now the weak point in my set up, in particular the inner skin transmits the sound to adjacent rooms in the house. However no complaints from neighbours, so I'll leave those alone. My solution to the ventilation problem is to take a break and leave the door open when ever it gets too stuffy.

All this about racism and sex in songs, but we haven't mentioned any songs about murder? Eg: I shot the sherrif Foulsom prison Blues Bad like Jesse James Hey Joe Ruby (he didn't, but he wanted to) Delilah (almost for got this one) Bohemian Rhapsody etc etc. Surely even in todays "Snowflake" environment murder has still got to be still worse than sexism or racism?

I have also seen them twice. First time was brilliant. Seond time, a few years later, would have been brilliant had I not seen them the first time! Ie a bit of a one trick pony.

Nothing wrong with ukeleles. Kala seems to be a good make, well made and finished and look good. Tell 'your friend' to avoid the bright blue and pink 'toy' ones though..

Great. Now I can order a really big fretboard and cunningly carve in into that rosewood chair I've craved for so long.

Come on. If we weren't allowed to repaeat subjects this site would have died a death years ago!

I get Gonzeula to do it with Lemon Pledge.

Come on folks. We all know that it's nothing to do with any of the above. It simply comes down to "heft".

I aggree Ped. I was going to say that, for myself, I would prefer it bigger but with a built in power supply - one less thing to lose. It's not like a 9/12v pedal where one PSU can power several units.

See, you knew the secret all along.

But (old time) Marshall watts are also a 'thing' aren't they?

I used to look very like James Taylor in my and his younger days - the "cover picture from Sweet Baby James" era.

Also, you mention using different amps etc, but is it always the same PA & Mic?

Just to be clear, is this a one off "Zap" on initial contact, or an continuous "tingle" while maintaining contact?

Not "Large Festival" but went to "Rythym Festival a few times, and it was great, but that was only about 5000 people, so still managed to feel human, even when raining. Sadly it all went tits up (suspect it tried to expand too quickly). Went to see Rod Stewart in New medow (Shrewsbry), and did not enjoy it. I'm sure Rod was fine, but it was all just too big.

This. Next time you're on a turboprop plane take a look at the propeller blades through a phone/camera screen.

Shake Rattle & Roll ?

Would be a bit odd sung by a woman anyway, wouldn't it?

Don't forget to give your lawn a damned good soaking with a hose for 24 hours before hand.

FM radio is not really a good comaprison. The incoming radio signal is still a sine wave, but with the frquency constantly changing. This is then converted to an an audio frequency analogue signal, without (necessarily) a digital stage - it is never converted to and an on/off signal, whereas the output of a class D amp, or a PWM motor drive is. (When I say output I mean the output from the switching devices) Most modern motor drives have DSP controllers anyway. I really don't now if the Class D amps are DSP controlled or analogue.

Well, yes it does - doubly digital! But seriously, unless it's a dimmer, then it is, to my mind at least, a digital device!
