That would be my concern too. I'm also a bit skeptical about the nutube thing.

I've heard they sound great, though.

A lot of people are complaining about the eye watering prices, but I sort of think this is the right approach. Sunn should be making boutique valve monsters, not anything boring or average. I'd never be in the market for one anyway, so it sort of doesn't matter to me, but I'd have thought the sensib...

A two knob Value Drive would be a great looking thing.

I love the thought that as pedals get more and more digital, we're going to start talking about open source tone like we used to talk about true bypass.

Two handles, in fairness.

2 AC30s?

Clever.

Thinking more about it, I think the top row will show whatever you already have turned on in each column, or , the bottom row if nothing is turned on on that column. I'm working off memory here though, and I'm a bit hazy. Handy feature though. I especially like that you can place the looper before o...

I thought (although I may be wrong) that that's the bottom row sort of pushed up.

M13 is brilliant. It does so much for me. If it had 3 expression pedals, I'd want a fourth.

This is terrifying to read like when you hear that Zinedine Zidane's son is also a footballer and is on the books somewhere.

D'OH Screenshot 2023-07-05 at 09.37.08.png Are these the guys that used to always have brass knuckles everywhere on their guitars? I can't see a single one now on the first page of the website, which is progress! The whole vibe isn't really my thing, but beyond that, the guitars look great. I suppo...

I actually quite like the finish. It sort of makes it look like if a Japanese company tried to make the Rickenbacker/Gretsch combo mentioned above.

I'd leave it as is. Maaaaaybe go mad and cut the headstock into the Matsumoku shape.

That was a great read, thanks for posting.

Nah, that'll be fine. Buff it out, string it up and rawk out.

I also have been testing out the oil process on the test squares, to see what approaches work. It was those that actually made me realize I needed to sand up to 600 grit, the oil doesn't build a thick coat like paint does. Testing how long between coats, best way to keep dust and bits of cat fur an...

Presumably with a crossover and some tweeters, you'd be able to hear your conscious mind?

I'd spied it as a new addition to the space the last time we practiced. It's brand new, still has the tags on it. I was actually half looking forward to using it. To be fair, in the amp's defence, I only quickly set up what I thought I wanted (a reasonably thick, bass heavy clean tone to work alongs...

Hmmm, maybe, yeah.

Although that goes against my guiding principe that if piles of massive amps aren't doing it for whatever reason, the problem is not enough piles of massive amps and the solution is more piles of massive amps.

Yeah, I think you're right. I suppose I'm also of the notion that the default colour should be black or wood. If it's going to be anything else exotic (like off-white), then you need a good reason. Having said all that, I really love the half bridge surround. I love that far more than I have reserva...

Looks a lot of fun.

There's something I don't like about the mismatched pickup covers, though. I think it wouldn't bother me if not for the knobs being matched to the neck pickup.

You could go cream and black for the knobs too.
