Flamma FS-05 Multi Modulation pedal, have so many modulated delays and reverbs... however... would like to add some phaser or vibrato from time to time and I've been quite impressed by my Flamma reverb / delay pedal so here we go!

I replaced the string trees of two of my guitars with Graphtech TUSQ XL ones.

I'm hoping they help with tuning stability somewhat but they do look better than my old ones.

Ash body, made by Adrian from Ash Guitars.
Nitro finish by me.
Allparts neck - inch thick.
Hardware is Gotto tuners, Wilson bridge.
Pickups - Semor Duncan anico 'lipstick' and a GFS stacked humbucker is now in the bridge.

Forgot how shiny it looked when I finished it. It's seen some use since then.

Jansens can be such spectacularly underrated amps.
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.

The depth and warmth of the tremolo leaves my 6/40 for dead.

Take note of the valve doing the wobble. In my Harmony amp, the glass makes a huge difference.

It does, only one valve in my vibrolux does the job, everything else I’ve tried is not the same. Fucked if it ever blows :(

I just checked the schematics - the 6/20 and 6/40 both utilise identical bias wiggle for the tremolo (similar to a Princeton Reverb). So the bias adjustment on the power tubes can really effect the tremolo depth.
