NIce work, that's a very pretty Strat!

Possibly something loose in the pedal causing a short?

No no no no no......... Now I've got GAS for one of those DAC Synergie basses (the black solid-body for those that have seen the website) Sort of a punk rock version of the Warwick Corvette

Anyone know what sort of pot-style rotary switch would be needed for switching between two pickups with the following options - neck only, bridge only, both parallel, both series? Any advice gratefully received.

Two gigs in my neck of the woods this weekend............Will try to get along to one or t'other.

More to it than that Kev. PSAs are regulated and ACAs are unregulated. A 9v unregulated adapter will only be putting out 9v at its rated current draw, if you are drawing less current, then the voltage goes up. A regulated 9v will only ever put out a max of 9v (but may drop below).

Glad it was a good day Burpster - you've got company - tonsilitis here

'Ello, good evening and welcome. Pull up a chair and expect to suffering with GAS anytime now for stuff you've not needed or wanted yet Whereabouts in hants are you?

www.gak.co.uk seem to be good on-line too (my ex-next-door-neighbour used them loads). I always visit the shop store tho.

That's exactly what I do Homer, I only use two pedals (either comp/tuner or overdrive/tuner) and always carry a few spare batteries and a Digitech 9v adaptor incase mains becomes essential.

Disclaimer - it won't harm your Compulator to use the boss, you just won't be getting the best out of your high-end compressor pedal.

Cheap regulated transformers don't supply a steady 9v - it fluctuates as the incoming voltage fluctuates, which in turn affects the headroom of your compressor, in extreme circumstances you will see the led glow and dim. Unregulated ones are worse, the voltage fluctuates as the current drawn changes too. You want a power supply that is a conditioner as well as transformer - extra electronics in the box ensure a steady 9v, rather than just a fraction of what is coming in. Dunlop's DC Brick is one, there are plenty of others [edit - Godlyke's Power All is probably the cheapest option]. There is one (I can't remember the name, sorry) that is actually a charger and battery, similar to the power supplies recommended for high end hi-fi and file-servers. Not seen it over here, but it's abut $350 in the states

Okay, I'm a compression junkie who gets a bit obsessive about feeding a quality compressor nice clean power. I forgot to say, if you do use batteries, be sure to take them out and polish them just to keep your compulator really happy

The Warwick Thumb - players be sent to Coventry and have their fingers amputated as a prophylactic measure?

Should you go to the vet with a Modulus Flea?

What does one do with a Musicman Bongo? Play it or beat it?

A guitarist

Daisy chaining should still give you 4ohms as the connectors on the back of cabs are usually in parallel. If it doesn't you won;t harm the GK - you'll just have a quieter amp

+1 for audacity. For a bit of freeware it's outstanding.
