Befinetely

Yeah, no boubt.

Hah! I get it now.
Awww jeez, you guys.......

Kinda cool little piece of kiwi amp history. Ive had a couple of jansen heads before and theyv'e never stuck. Kinda gave up on the idea of Jansen as a usable amp. Then i tried bruces and Jeans (clone). Since then ive kept an eye out for a nice low watt combo. This is a 2x el84 driven 1x12 combo. It...

Textured.

It's the Gibson certificate of authenticity. The Chinese can't copy it.

Maybe if the USA took a page out of China's labour laws we might get some damn QC from Gibson.

But how would you tell them from Eastmans?

Oh I love that! Well done that man.

I've become a total Greco Geek! This one is an absolute darling! She's been around the block a few times, which just adds to the mojo. Plays like butter, as all Greco's seem to, and I think she is mostly intact, though I will look under the hood later this week and see if the pickup's are the origi...

Looking Good!
Glad it made it OK. I always worry but NZ Couriers seem to do a good job. They're certainly fast; next day delivery.

The grid is AC (alternating current), it goes pos/neg/pos/neg... 50 times a second. Maybe an AC50 would help? I bow to your vastly superior knowlege sir. Just trying to one-up your clever quip of which you have many :) :oops: I'm not clever. I can't build awesome amps. And to prove my point, second...

Better not try that tomorrow morning, you'll cause power cuts when the national grid is overloaded... Doesn't someone make a 'Positive Grid' pedal? Could be just the thing.

Well, an interesting chat I’ve just had with Bill, the builder of Optimus Prime. He’s been telling me for a while that he hasn’t got time to build an amp so was looking around for something that piqued his interest…we’re chatting away, he’s telling me about this amp he’s bought, then I clicked, it’...

My Strobostomp is finally here. It's the mini, not the HD. What a beautifully presented item. They must get their packaging from the same folks who supply Apple.

Acquired a Fender Tone Master Super Reverb as part of a convoluted deal last night. Certainly looks the part. Jensen 4x10 and jolly light. Anybody tried one? Thoughts? 20240427_230136.jpg That's a huge amount of amp for the front room! I know the Tonemaster DR. Soundwise, there's no downside. If/wh...
