Re: John Mayer and Milkman

Mayer sounds SO much better when you can't see him.

All those hours in front of the mirror wasted.

Re: Pedal Mule 20 - Prototype build

Thanks for shedding some light on your context, Ag. Some of these amps are a lil' off the beaten path, so you can't just pick out one detail, and assume that the results will be universal. On the other hand, making tweaks one at a time can be a great teaching/learning tool (even if they don't give t...

Re: Something else I noticed

Just curious George here; No feed back to the phase inverter? I've got a cut switch on mine and when I cut the FB out it gets Loud and Raw. Did you leave out a feed back circuit on purpose? Regards, silverfox. "... on mine": What amp are you referring to? After reading your comments, it seems you a...

Re: Hardwood floors and guitar polish and socks do NOT mix

One time when I opened for John Cipollina he told me about how he used Hoppes gun cleaner to clean his guitars and strings, that tip saved me many times when I didn't have $ for new strings, you won't believe the gunk that comes off and the feel of the neck afterwards. 'cept that I don't recommend ...

Re: Hardwood floors and guitar polish and socks do NOT mix

Never use it. Never use Armor-All on anything either I wish you told me this a couple decades ago. I put Armor-All on the saddle of my BMW R90S. I went for a ride with a passenger on the back, and when I had to lay on the brakes hard, we both slid forward, only to be stopped when I "encountered" th...

Check for an ON/OFF switch. Failing that, unplug 'em, and enjoy the solitude.

Re: 2 x 10 Super Reverb Combo

I flirted with the idea of getting a MojoTone 4 x 10" cab but decided that I had an opportunity to scale her down to a more transportable 2 x 10 combo. I worked on a 2 x 10" Princeton Chorus a while back that packed a lot of tone in a combo smaller than a Twin Reverb, so that is my goal. I got a li...

Re: BB King in Home Hospice

I consider myself fortunate to have seen/heard/experienced B.B. King in small clubs, sitting just off the stage, right in front of him.

Sending out the love, as he has shared with, and touched so many others.

I would imagine that the response from the US navy missile submarines is likely to deter anyone from trying this in practice. :shock:
That's the line of thinking behind the Cold War, when all the parties were "rational". I don't know that the threat works as well with less rational people.

Re: Replacement lamp blows fuse and lamp in Rocket

I replaced the traditional amber lamp in my Rocket with a Jewel style, but not traditional fender, that is 125V@75Watts and blows the bulb and fuse. Doesn't seem to be making a ground from what I can see. Here is the link to the bulb I'm using: https://www.tubesandmore.com/products/P-L110 Any sugge...
