It will still be loud even with an attenuator, but my 18 watt is at least usable at home with it. Have you still got your old attenuator? You could get it fixed. It's worth getting one with treble boost on it, they suck a fair amount of treble out of the sound otherwise. It just one switch I need t...

Well, that was an eventful morning. Plugged my Marshall in, go to power it on and off goes the power to all the sockets in the house. Unplug everything reset the RCD, plug just the extension lead in on it’s own, trips again. Try another extension lead with nothing else connected, trips again. Must b...

That’s the vibe I’m after, I miss my JTM45 dearly and this was the closest compromise at the time. I’ll give those settings a spin. I used to have an SD-1 years ago, think fran had it for while at some point. They appear locally quite cheap, so I’ll try and snag one at some point. Does it stack nice...

Yes! How did you like the Octavio? It’s fucking nuts, in a good way. I had the original cheese wedge one a while back and very reluctantly sold it. I knew as soon as I sold it that the prices would go crazy and be unobtainable. Same with the Hendrix fuzz face. I got the screamadelica one because it...

Hello old friend, it’s been a very long time since you’ve been in action.

Got one of the newer Octavio pedal on a cheeky loan from a friend. Wish it was the wedge style one as that was fucking savage when engaged. I missed this and the fuzz face after the gear purge and wanted those sounds again. Although I miss being in a band and jamming with others, I’m glad I can use ...

What's the bypass like on that drill set there? That’s my son’s firefighting gear, because my tone was sooooo hot!! 😂😂 Though his favourite trick is switching my amp off and going “no! No!” Classic firefighter banter The second truck on scene at an incident where we need fire support is their crew ...

Today’s tone tools, I love a good fuzz face.

it feeds back in a really specific way which he hasn't been able to recreate whenever he's had to use a different rig. Enjoy! I can relate to that. My classic player strat has this magic sweet spot for feedback on the neck pickup that any other guitar I’ve owned/played doesn’t have. It desperately ...

They’ve definitely got that Marshall-ish flavour too them. Kinda like the way they look. I nearly brought the small head they did in them until I found the Marshall origin 20 head.

Still pissed my ex-bandmates for convincing me to get rid of my JTM45 and go back to the Dual Terror.

Thanks Thom, I’ll check that video out. Bloody love univibes and that pedal show. Todays rig is called “the idiot that sold his pedal power supply and can now only power one pedal at a time” Stupidly of all the gear I had to sell to keep us afloat, I should have at least kept my trex fuel tank jr. I...

How you finding the thorpy vibe? Keep seeing that and the pedal pawn vibe getting lots of love at the moment. Does it do that trower/gilmour throb?

The current state of gear, everyone needs a tone treadmill.

That bandname cropped up to me on IG the other day I think; the track's pretty damn good, so sick for your mate! I only really know of Oceansize as a band that covered Cardiacs; I really should check 'em out proper as everyone I know who's a fan is generally a person of taste (Proggie aside 😉) The ...

Just watching this as I bloody love Oceansize.

I spy one of Tim’s green Russians on there. It sounds fucking glorious, just straight into an orange half stack.

Might have to try a big muff, never owned/played one.

If I’ve managed to do this right, they’re should be a picture of my pedalboard from the last time I tried to assemble one. Most of the time i just plug straight into my little Marshall MG10, which for being the cheapest combo they do, sounds bloody good for home use. The power supply i used to have...

It's well worth picking up an expression pedal for the M5. Reeeally opens it up. There're cheap ones that can be easily modded to work with it: http://www.shortscale.org/viewtopic.php?p=1426997&hilit=nektar#p1426997 I had an M5 around 2015 and sure I kept the expression pedal I brought with it....

Looks tidy! And almost a dead ringer for the Baja. I don't think I've come across East Coast guitars before. That’s what I thought, near as I can get for now. They’ve been around for a few years, mainly cheap copies of teles/strats. Some have some nice upgrades like a neck p90 on the teles. Think m...
