Re: Tremolux speaker shootout

Really interesting to hear all the difference. Love the Jensens for clean. Love the Greenback for overdrive. That JBL is a fantastic speaker in the right context... but this wasn't it.

I've still got that Rhode microphone of yours. Also happy to bring my laptop with Ableton.

Re: YouTube goodness

Rhett School doing his video comparing rosewood and maple boards. Yeah they sound different. But you're also hitting the strings significantly harder when you're playing the maple board. Shut the fuck up.

Good to have you here. You're not the bloke from Devonport who builds these quite regularly, are you?

Re: Whats on your amp workbench?

Had Sunday lunch then a gossipy catch up with my project lead from my old company, CTO is appearing to be even more unhinged, which was nice. Consequently only got an hour or so to do the tolex wrap. I’d love crème vents like the head I did for Ben but can’t justify the costs yet. Anyway, wrapped i...

Is a nice understated looking thing though. Acoustics with bling should go right in the fire.

No, vents for beer access.
He meant cooling of the tubes and chassis using beer.

Re: Show us your whole setup....

No, I haven't tried the Sunset but it was on my shortlist and I would've snapped one up if a 2nd hand had came along, might still if the OD200 doesn't end up floating my boat. I was hesitant to pay rrp for the sunset as I've had mixed results from single eq knob drives - if the base eq isn't to tas...

Re: Show us your whole setup....

What's the six-button switch? External control for MC8? Yep. They're always the same functions - One takes me to the home page on the MC8. The others are all OD200 control; 3x drive tones, 1x boost (so effectively 6x drive tones) & off. I've only used the OD-200 for a couple hours, I'm not conv...

Re: Show us your whole setup....

Forgot the under hood shoot: IMG_20240521_215814.jpg I couldn't find hinges that'd work so I synthesized a 4 bar linkage that would a) lift approximately vertically near the closed position so the latches can engage smoothly b) bottom out and rest at the right spot in the open position c) maintain ...

Re: Show us your whole setup....

Fuck yeah, that's the way forward. I ran a similar thing for a while, including the four-way headphone amp (probably the same Behringer one). Agree that there's no better solution, at least without using two devices.
