"Smurfs instead of Filmosound" being an honest mistake is so fantastic. Even better that the resolution was so painless. I'm currently trying and failing to talk myself out of combination pedalboard/modular stuff. e.g.: https://www.ericasynths.lv/shop/snazzy-fx/tracer-city/ I should probab...

The YBA1A is the one getting 90W from a pair of 6CA7 output tubes, with +500V on the plates, right? Hence the case fan? Can new production EL34/6CA7 deal with the voltages? I need another amp about as much as I need a basement that floods every time it rains, so I'm going to talk myself out of this ...

Good point about being in good condition because certainly serviceability is something to consider with these old Peaveys too. Drifting out of topic here but there was a local guy who said he couldn't fix a broken knob on a 2x12 Peavey Special. This wasn't a dude that was a particularly great tech ...

Can anyone speak for the Yamaha G100II solid state head? Yes, they’re absolutely great sounding. I am considering picking one up. I recently missed out on an opportunity for a Sunn 200s and thought I would be better off with tubes. Just need something that is good for both bass and guitar. Garth is...

There's this boot I got recently, Melody Laughter, that sums up that version of the band--how completely, effortlessly they drew together Appalachian and European folk music, Delta and electric blues, R&B, free music, Eastern drone and beyond, field songs, the entirety of rock and roll and mode...

What's easier than doing some sheet metal fabrication to make or modify the top/bottom panels of a Garrison Keillor (h/t FM Nate Dort) 400RB? Paying someone else to do it? OK, but what's even easier than that? Not doing it! https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/53196987375_4ba3efc53e_c.jpg [/url] http...

The Super Black by itself totally rules, I impulse-bought one earlier this summer when I decided to switch to bass so I could play badly on multiple instruments.

Best forum on Earth, maybe even the galaxy.

Anybody else posted this, the response would be "Yeah, right, wiseass." Nate Dort posts it, it's real talk. I love this place. Me too, even just lurking for years and years taught me so much. And the handful of IRL interactions I've had with posters have only reinforced/affirmed the love....

And I was thinking I had to find somebody with a huge press brake to bend new sides out of some stainless steel sheet I have. I didn't even realize there's nothing attached to the bottom! Outstanding.
