Sounds great. Very touch sensitive. And of course this typical "drifting" into feedback. Do you have to play it very loud to archieve this feedback ?

Sounds good. I am curious though. There are several circuits that were done during the 80s. What do you have under the hood?

Dood, it's a forum for sharing. You took the 124 information, but now you won't reciprocate? YAAFD.

I think TAG should institute a policy. If you want to post clips you have to disclose what is in the amp. On the bright side, I won't waste any of my time listening to that clip.
Electronic equipment is designed using facts and mathematics, not opinion and dogma.

From Tonemerc ( i don`t think you`d mind man!)


Tough love time...........fellas get out of this instant gratification mindset and simply put in the work. If you are really serious about this game, then you will gladly spend time outside of holding a soldering iron and just looking at a layout. If that means spending thirty mins, an hour just browsing the search function then thats what it takes if you want to expand your knowledge base. IMHO, it's one of the key differences between a builder and just an assembler.

I can be low on empathy, hopefully this didn't hurt anyone's tender feelings.

Jim my friend have at it, tough love is the gift that keeps on giving! Enjoy it before one is arrested for causing emotional distress and severe psychological trauma :D

I think I will install 'the cone of silence' so we can keep it a secret.

You have to know the secret handshake to get in.

Don't let that smoke out!
