I would take advice from here first, tubed going pop is not unusual, and not especially problematic on that amp. I see you live in Essex. Another option you have is to give up on tube amps altogether and allow me to help you out, drive up and take it off your hands, thereby stopping any future costs associated with such a dated amp

Folks, lockdown has meant that my business has gone largely digital and I'm doing more and more work into a mic, either in the studio recording podcasts and online content, and during Zoom meetings and sessions. My voice has always had good days and bad days and I've yet to really track the variables the predict this other than I can generate a gloriously Richard Burtonesque delivery when I have a hangover, the downside being that whilst my voice is great my ability to remember my lines (or sometimes even who I am) is significantly impaired. I had voice coaching a few years back and it was really helpful, but I've forgotten much of it and also suspect that the content is sufficiently different now. I'm keen to find a decent online resource, and possible an online coach if necessary for two reasons; firstly, when my voice has a good day the response from the audience to my recorded material is infinitely better (I had an especially good day two weeks back and a client said "It's not the sort of stuff i'd normally choose to listen to but your voice drew me in", which really is exactly what I'm trying to do), but secondly, I'm aware that the bad days are getting worse, and I want to protect what is perhaps going to be my most important income generator (that and my skill at editing that can also make me sound quite intelligent) for as long as possible (re voice deterioration for example I sent a file to colleagues last week and it's the first time they've suggested a re-record on the basis of voice quality alone). Any suggestions/experience most welcome. Chris

Damn, I was after a 60's

Sorry to hear that mate, hope he gets back to playing. I've only ever had that thing with one drummer, and I listen to the recordings occasionally and they're the ones on which my bass playing - and arguably the whole band - sounds best. It can be make or break for a band

I think you'll find that if he plays it faster than the original then he speeds it up

Hang on, a drummer who speeds up, that's not something I've come across

That I'd like to see mate

Having just listened, to my ear that recorded track sounds like plectrum with the exception of some of the chorus

Waiting........

Crisps: check. Beer: check. Comfy chair: check

808 was a state of mind in the 80s

Love it
