fat ol' sun

A very fine musician, with a fantastic body of work. The most laid back tunes. Very sad.

stereo 'verb boss rv-5?

Good amp, had one of those. Good clean tone to do stuff with. Enjoy :o)

I play on of these through a marshall 2X12 with greenbacks loaded. Sound is very useable. Good at home volumes, btw I use effects to colour the sound, but, the clean tone is a good starting point.

The scope(s) i was refering to is/are new, single channel and 100bux. No need to buy second hand. You're right though, if you lose interest in the whole malarkey it is money for nuthin'...

Yep, you can learn a fair bit poking around with a meter, but a scope will give you so much more info, with single prod you can see a dc level, ac peak content, frequency content, distortion type simultaneously. In my book you will learn a shit load quicker. You will learn to recognise different types of distortion and frequency response etc. Once you use a scope well it's a bit like comparing fumbling around in a darkened room versus turning on the lights. You will find what you are looking for quicker and you will have a better appreciation of the unplanned behaviour of circuits that you couldn't hope to find with an audio probe or meter. There is a whole heap of possibilities between "yep the signal is there" to zip, nada, nuthin'...

You know you can buy a decent single channel oscilloscope up to 20MHz (well good enough for audio) for the price of a pedal now (about a hundred bux). No more multimeter guessing, you could see a decent representation of the ac and dc components of your signal.

The yellow capacitor is not polarised. I think by removing it and replacing it you resoldered a dry joint. In any event well done getting your circuit going... :o)

Good stuff, hope it all works out.

when you say "cuts out" do you mean goes quieter or totally cuts out - ie silence for a short period of time? How old is the amp? I repaired an amp a while back that had two faults. One of the faults made it totally cut out when cranked. The first was a dead (and under rated OT), the second fault was simply that the owner was into trying different valves and wore the valve sockets out/ induced pcb dry joints.

Got a boss TR-2, I don't use. As new. That the sort of thing you are looking for?

I've done a bit of amp stuff in the past, I took the quiz. What's up with the amp?

What amp model is it?

Have fun. Lovin' the 70's hi fi knobs btw.

Cool, good buy! What's the deal with the four white keys and the black toggle switch?

argument for covers = all along the watch tower, jimi hendrix argument for originals = all along the watch tower, bob dylan... Peace out, my work is done here

guid photies min!

PE1000 still up for sale?

What kind of amp is it? What is wrong with it?

Nice kit Keeno. Which matamp is that?
