Haha... Yes, and Sty made that crystal clear yesterday... Just checking if you were paying attention mate

to be honest, I do have my other Donnie and I'm not holding my breath

Thanks for being a great host sty - such a mint set up you have!
Really fun afternoon. Some really cool gear you all have!
It's given me motivation to better organise my pedal board.
And I've added a June-60 Chorus to my Xmas wish-list!

THE BOX BROWNIE!!!!!
Explain the Box Brownie?

I’ll let Andrew tell the story of the Box Brownie, which had the awesome original leather carry case.


I’ve just remembered one of the impressive cruel parts from the afternoon.

Cory and James started jamming on a couple of my guitars, it wasn’t quite happening but they persisted, then I remembered I bought to tell James that the Bullseye was tuned down to Eb.

After that they were off and a lengthy series of jams ensued. I wish had the nerve and skills to join in, but performance anxiety etc…

I made a little Ruby 9V amp and stuck it into an old box brownie. 1-Watt of raw power !
Volume and Gain.
Has a tiny little raspy speaker in it. But also a line out for a cab.
So stoked with how it turned out!

Nice one guys, wish I could have made it out.

Jimmy - did you sell the Drone Rainger? When I think of gearfest I still think of how that blew my mind the first time I heard it

Ah yes, that one took a bloody long time to get out of my head!

Thanks again John, a very nice afternoon.

I have some research to do...

As always, really impressed by the self built gear and JB's mix of analog and programming is very cool.

Fun to have some jams too, thanks..

Hey, yes still loving the Drone Rainger. Have even worked out a few tunes that seem to work OK on it.

My big power supply on my pedal board died and didn't have time to get it sorted before the Gearfest, so had the "essential" selection out for a run..

I might look at getting one of those MOOER boards that Cory is using, pretty cool.

BTW that Drone Rainger is a wild bit of gear, hard to tame (getting the levels all mixed well) at times, but I even like just the delay it has built in...

My favourite bit was the red power on led was behind the lens so you get this HAL9000 effect
