Good video I saw recently of a guy making building a kit amp looking ridiculously easier than Im sure it really is!!

Can anyone explain to me just what exactly is going on inside a guitar amp in laymans terms? To me building an amp from scratch means designing it first on pen and paper, not buying a kit (thats like doing a jigsaw puzzle of van gogh and calling yourself a painter) I know what basic components do (resistors/capacitors/transformers) not entirely sure on what valves are doing, can I relate any of it to transistors? I mean, I know how pretty much how valves work...I just have trouble visualising just what exactly is happening inside an amp....I have only spent the last 15 years trying to understand, but nothing Ive read/seen/heard helps me...

Are you using a PC or laptop? I experienced this on my laptop the other night, setups which used to work were just killling the CPU which was causing all sorts of glitching and hanging....and I can usually run 24 tracks all with a lot of VST's and VSTi's no problem...I downloaded a program called CPU-ID and noticed that the core speed my CPU was running at was not the same speed my CPU is supposed to run at. Vista has some power management features which directly affect the CPU speed, so I had to disable all that (its strange because I never touched any of it). This had happened on another laptop before but I actually must have burned out that processor as the speed step was completely dead on it and could never get it running at a decent speed without overclocking it, which just goosed the whole thing...I'd check your RAM/CPU/Page File etc....run a good defrag MyDefrag v4.3.1 and disable as much windows crap as you can (windows indexing, aero, screensavers etc)...the "ring modulator" sound you mention sounded like my last laptop when i tried to just watch videos....the thing was only running like 380mhz and simply didnt have the CPU capacity to produce audio in realtime....

What do you mean?!?! Madness are playing!!! Fucking Madness!!! I saw them last night on The Young Ones! Status Quo were here last December...yes..THE QUO!! Who says Aberdeen is always stuck 30 years in the past!!8-)

They should issue a statement like this... BBC News - Neds 'not welcome' at T in the Park festival

Thanks. It sounds better live as you can probably imagine...find one or two more people who would like this and we could have a sold out show as far as noise gigs go.... A more ambient track Login | Facebook

Best I've read in a while...especially after having a read of the lineup again...couldn't have said it better!

Do you people need a map to find the couch in your living room? I was simply trying to ask what the setup is going to be? I don't have a fucking dog. I just want to know how easy it will be to hurl glass bottles of piss into the crowd ldo.

Duthie park isn't on my doorstep

Say I want to take the dog for a walk in the park that weekend, what happens? Will the stages be sealed off or the whole park? I don't think they can just close the whole park for this?? Madness...it sure is...

Nice way to blow one weeks wage I guess...pass!

30 for Music Hall is a joke, but 90 for Seaton park?!?! And camping?!? The junkies are going to have a feel weekend...

One of my latest...looks like it will be an empty gig tho....

Not a very accurate quiz...2% margin of error! You are 2% Racist... You aren't racist, so congratulations. You know it's wrong to be prejudist against people, and you refrain from most things that might be deemed racist. How Racist Are You? Take More Quizzes

type that sentence into youtube....and enjoy

Yes. The last I checked its not racist to call a polish person polish.

I also said I wish the vast majority of Aberdonian scum bags (drug dealing pimping whoring robbing) would fuck off aswell....I now have over twice as much of them to deal with as normal now...

It certainly got me out my comfort zone so yes it is interesting....you were talking about sweeping generalisations...so why is anyone who dares questions the current situation branded racist or xenophobic? The means the only people who dare discuss this are the clueless racist xenophobic types....while everyone else is too afraid to speak their mind. I mean I know if someone from the BNP/NF came spouting their bonehead shite on here I'd be the first throwing all the cliches of the day at them "you'd be first against the wall ya wankers" etc....hardly ground breaking. This all reminds me of Father Ted now...

Quite right! Interesting how uppity this topic gets some people...

I set up a home game for aberdeen music if you want to play a tourney tonight let me know The ID is 407004 The invitation code is the name of the person who started aberdeen music as one word and lower case...shouldn't be too hard to work out...providing I got it right.... anyone up for a $10-$20 winner takes all freezeout?

Gambling....lowest of the low

No, that one was from the heart.

I wasn't going to confess that for a few pages yet, don't ruin it now!

And thats why women shoudln't be allowed to vote.
