Interview.

Post by norburybrook »

here's the latest episode of the guitar show where I was the guest.

I talk about my musical beginnings, and also my amp building journey and i demo some of my amps.

I had no idea that was going to happen so wasn't prepared for it but it's turned out OK. My Amps are completely dry which is quite raw to sit and play with in a dry room :mrgreen:

thanks, The CV was quite limited really as they were short on time and I think big Knopfler fans so they stayed on that a lot.


Amps: yes I hope I didn't talk nonsense technically at any point, I really had no idea this was going to happen so just went with the flow on the spot with what I'd brought over . Interesting that on the video you've no idea of amp level, expect my voice disappears when the amps are loud. I was surprised the the VVR on the rocket worked so well as it was really quite quiet when I turned it down but the camera/mic kept everything at the same level as when it was LOUD and it kept it's tone. I don't use the VVR as I don't have to worry about level so much but it works well.

It's always funny seeing/hearing yourself anyway but apart from wishing I'd had at least a bit of reverb it all seems good and I hope some find it interesting :mrgreen:


@Collosal. Cheers Dave, I always like seeing videos of TAG members as I like to see and hear who people are. :)

Fear not, the amps sounded good. We all know if that's right, they are awesome with reverb. Great spotlight interview, nice to put a face to a name.
I'd like to play but my only interviews have been for disc golf. Let's see more!

I watched it in small chunks and it was very interesting. Enough so that I kept coming back to pick up where I left off. The amps and your playing sound terrific. You seem like a cool guy to hang out with.

I couldn't help but thinking to myself: "hopefully he didn't told them about the Marshmallows"... :wink:

More seriously: congrats!

I'm glad I could hear another demo of the Norburybrook Tweedle Dee Deluxe. That was pretty convincing... 8)

Just out of curiosity : which speaker/cab diid you play it through?
