Saw a receipt from 34 audio for an amp service recently, name on it wasn’t Clarry, might rule them out with the “learning on the job” comment…

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’...

Was that the one on tm from Hamilton? Old Si?

How does it sound?

I looked up some demos but was reasonably underwhelmed…

I have a set of these that I’m not using if you’d like to give them a try. That would be wicked, I’ll have a quick look into it, and let you know, have you tried them yourself though? Yep. Had them in my duesenberg for a while. They sound great. Great p-90 sounds, with a bit of top end shimmer whic...

I’m similarly curious about his blacksand hb sized p90s but I find pickup demos completely useless to listen too on the web… I have a set of these that I’m not using if you’d like to give them a try.

If none of the forum peeps want to have a look at it, then send it to someone like Waylon from McPherson music, or at least give him a call and see what he has to say.

I don’t even know what that pedal is or does, I’m going to google it just for interests sake…

But still seriously cool you got an overseas sale…

Righto, an update of sorts. Have sold 3 more SRTs recently including my first to the USA (Ebay ad). Wanted this one to go like clockwork for all the reasons. I got me a DHL credit account but the freight cost is still hellish. So, built a 120VAC version, tested it for hours and freighted it to Alas...

I think I have everything I need here. Pub gig tonight. No call for the dd5 yet, but you never know…

Um, where’s the high gain?

You can’t play that one Metallica song you need at the pub with a bad monkey!

Did a quick roadie to Fielding to pick up the Electra Dyne short head that has been tempting me for ages on Trade Me. Hell of a nice geezer that was selling it and had owned it from new.I Wasn’t sure I needed it, but after plugging it in and having a wail, I think it’s a keeper. Amazing clean and b...

Genuine question, is that something that happens in NZ?

I thought it was just on TV and in America!

A friedman sir-compre on tm, says it has overdrive as well, that might work for you, I’ve been thinking about buying it and using it as a boost…

Happy to 3D print a Marshall logo for it for shipping cost if the buyer wants one.... Lol, OK, it will actually be quite interesting, never seen something off a 3d printer that was actually useful! No rush, not picking it up for a couple weeks… Tony, have you been unfaithful to Bill again? You know...
