Re: Auckland / Northland Gearfest: 14th August 2022
And the very last video...
Before you watch it, I like to point out a few things:
Firstly - Both guitars are built from scratch by forum members Lawrence and myself. Lawrence's logo is 'Arps' and I am unsure about the model name. My logo is 'JvPP' and this model I called 'Duovette'.
Secondly - what you hear is 'organic' sound (or noise if you prefer) from the amps. Warren plays the Arps straight into Slowy's Optimus Prime and Henry plays my Duovette straight into my Jansen 4/12 Special Copy. So there, who needs pedals?
Thirdly - pheck, these guys rock (edit - rocked so hard I got unsteady feet again)

Nikon Z6? Not too shabby at all! Video and stills are really well sorted out of those. Nice to see the audio holds up as well.

Not trying to be funny but you don't have the video on mute or the volume slider right down in YouTube? If you're getting sound from other sources that's the first thing that comes to mind.

Next year I'm showing up with one of these, just to be heard.

The Greenstone is to amps as Ali is to boxing... Marshalls are to amps as pro wrestlers are to sophisticated fine dining.
Speaking of... where did Greenstone 001 eventually end up? Slowy? BG? Grant?
I have an urge to own that amp one more time.

Sorry mate, I sold it outside. He was a working muso which is why I let it go.Capt.

Beyond a critical point within a finite space, freedom diminishes as numbers increase. This is as true of humans as it is of gas molecules in a sealed flask. The human question is not how many can possibly survive within the system, but what kind of existence is possible for those who so survive.

Beyond the expected volume sliders in the footer and on the YT vid, I can't find any others. Have been right through the YT settings; found nothing. Computer's audio is working everywhere else and YT sound works on my phone.
I'm clean out of ideas.

Have you tried turning it off and on again?

Done that. What did work was changing browser. It works in Chrome so the problem is with Firefox.
