    If it's that good, why don't you go yourself..? ...

    What are these 'pedals' of which you speak..?

    It's the power valves that are most at risk; the pre-amp valves should be OK, and can stay in their sockets. A higher risk, though, is the weight of the transformers in there, in case of a hard knock, such as dropping the amp. This weight can rip the trannies from the chassis, or twist/bend the chassis. There's not a lot one can do to protect against this except make sure the amps aren't dropped..! For my part, I'd take the amps myself, and make a day of it..! I did this recently with my Hiwatt, taking it for repair implied a 300 km round trip. I have to go back shortly to collect my Fender Bassman 50, waiting for me after overhaul since Christmas. Now that the French curfew is extended to 21h00, I can plan such a trip. I wouldn't want to send my amps by courrier if I could do it any other way, and it's cheaper..! Your move may vary, naturally.

    I'd like a very well-equipped PC, with my favourite software installed, and a fast, reliable, interweb access. I could keep a beady eye open on the BC shenanigans with that, in between composing or playing with virtual trains. Solar-powered, naturally.

    Maybe, but be aware that you're on very, very thin ice.

    How to get a perfectly decent topic locked, Lesson One ...

    The reason it's so difficult is because the UK side didn't want to allow reciprocal arrangements.

    I've seen concerts in which, when the solo starts, everyone bar the soloist leaves the stage, to return only when it's over.

    That's 'new'..?

    Shame it's not sub-titled, though; I can't tell if they detested or adored the track..! I suspect they'll not be looking it up for a Rick Beato analysis.

    When I receive a CD like this, I send it back to get a decent one that doesn't 'glitch'. ...

    Oops..! I thought that was her ID..! I must get my glasses checked again. ...

    That was layman's terms..! Difficult to put more simply, but the Power Supply Unit (PSU, or 'brick'...) is rated to be able to supply up to a certain current (expressed in amps ('A'...), or milliAmps ('mA'...). Any pedals connected must draw (consume...) less, when added together, than the PSU can deliver. So, as an example, a PSU rated for 500mA is OK for one pedal drawing 100mA, or even up to five at a push (but no more; best to have a small margin, so four would be a better limit...), The same PSU can supply a single pedal consuming 300mA, but not two of 'em. Is that clear enough now..?

    Good Man.

    That's a raw deal, and a very good example of why firearms need to be locked away. For once I agree with your appropriate expletives.

    You've shaved since, I see. ...

    (... and the audition will go just fine. Tell us all about it when you've sobered up from the dual celebrations. )

    I expect that your drummer is delighted, too. ...
