that sounds pretty good right enough, i've an idea for you, i was listening to the Twighlight sad album at the same time i hit your myspace, so it all played at the same time untill i sorted it out.

It sounded pretty good.

right see, is this band gaelic or sommat?

haha i'll mention that to the guys who fancy remixing us dude! haha

We ain't Gaelic as such but we are using the Gaelic theme a fair bit just now... with the band & song titles anyway.

Ablach - a mangled carcass

i can have a look at it for you if youwant. have you tried new valves in it?

I haven't touched it dude. Still as & where it was when i started this thread. Dinna want to make it worse. It's at Captain Toms just now, but i can meet you there or take it to you whenever suits bud. Be much cheaper than taking it to Fife!

I spoke to the Valve company that was recommended earlier.. the just said to get a Tech to have a look at it. So i guess once i get it checked over and confirm it's defo the Valves. I'll talk to them again and sort out some nasty sounding yins.

Cheers

I still have to save enough money before i can even look into this really. Anyone know a Tech in Aberdeen per chance?

Bazz

This is now in Cafe Drummonds and Bonesaw are no longer supporting. 3 touring bands only.

Bazz

Thanks alot dudes! That was some quickfire responses

Check it oot @ Ablach Space

My personal fav so far...

Let us know what ye think

Bazz

sorta price we looking at?

Yeah most feedback seems to suggest a change in valves. I use different cabs all the time and different outputs from the back of the amp just to check that. So defo seems a issue with the head. Now the fun begins. where the fuck do i get valves from? Being a complete novice here.. but ain't they kinda specific to each head?

Was thinking the same thing... MUNTER!

There's bunches of things that could cause that, might be best to get a pro to look it over. Might be a cold solder joint, so you could try opening it up and re-soldering all the connections, but the caps in a tub amp carry LETHAL voltages, so if you're not sure, spend the cash to have it done by someone else.

That said, it could be a short, it could be a bad valve or a cap problem. I'd start with the resistors attached to the valves themselves. Check the values of them and the connections, testing the connenctions by bumping it with a pencil.

Ah cheers dude. I forgot i posted this! haha Sounds a bit too technical for me. I'll either break it or die. Will it be okay to keep using or should i avoid this till i get it looked at?

fit??????

Yeah so i have a Peavey 5150 imported head, running through a tranny. When i got it, i had it checked over by a tech who replaced 2 valves which had been broken in transit. Otherwise, was informed by him amp was in tip top.

So recently i noticed that after say, an hour of use. The volume dramatically drops. This is obviously easy to live with for gigs etc but... i'd kinda like to get that sorted out. Anyone advise what the problem might be? I'll still call the guy i used previously but he lives in Edinburgh practically!!!!

Cheers the Noo

If that song was a pace bowler, it would be a Brett Lee 92mph inswinging yorker.

Which is good.

glad ye cleared that up!! haha

Better? Just longer.. haha My personal fav is "Jus Primae Noctis" which will be on our release. Only cause it's stupidly fast and i can hardly keep up! haha

Yeah the rest are all 1 1/2 min+ long, and the reverb is only added to the end for effect. We don't have that normally. Cheers for chicken in oot though!! hehe

yep it's all singing all dancing now. A 4 track release of somesort is imminent.

For those that give a fook... We have a wee tune up on our Myspaz.. Check it oot, feedback welcome.

HAHA good luck!!

Dimension F3H (Nor) & BONESAW playing this one!! YAS MIN!!!!!

Anyone want a ticket? Give me a shout.. 15

Bass distortion sounds is something i have struggled with over the years. Most are crap, tried the Muff, wasn't much of a fan.. I have finally settled on the "You Dirty Rat", which is the newest incarnation of RAT pedal. I don't use alot of distortion on the pedal but it does sound fucking ace when ye crank it up. For Bonesaw i prefer to hear the bass tone but the pedal gives it that extra BITE. Sounds nasty, highly recommended.

Albie from Filthpact/Ablach uses the Marshall Guvner, which also has a nice nasty distortion tone...

Horse for courses though...

I hear it was basically a Bloody Mary with a sheep in it... Saw pics and didn't look nice! haha

Well... this gig was ace

Ablach were awesome - really enjoyed it.

Also - new Squad epic rules

Cheers dude. Glad ye enjoyed our half set. I'll be expecting to see ye at Discharge in The Tunnels then!!

I should maybe add that the successful candidate will be involved in some UK tourage and an intended return trip to Oslo, Norway... I have other irons in the fire though. Nae takers?

Bazz

As am I. I've lost count of the amount of times I've been told I'll like Ablach.

After all this, I'd better...

By whom? There are a very limited number of peeps who have heard us like....

looking forward to this!!!
