Why? Physics.

Cool, glad this has had a happy ending. They stink when they blow though, don't they!

I was going to listen to this, but I went 'outside and closed the door'.

[quote name='Kev' timestamp='1400311263' post='2452746'] but that's half the fun of searching for the right fuzz! [/quote] This! I found the Colorsound Bass Fuzz sounded amazing, but didn't really like my active bass through it, so I took the actives out of my bass... sometimes you just [i]know[/i].

I did the survey - took me longer than 20 seconds though, but that's probably down to my failing eyesight...

LEDs give a nice 'tubey' tone when used as clipping diodes too...

I suppose if you're not gigging then it's a good way to play to an audience.

It's index linked.

Nice! JPJ is one of my favourite, all-time players. Of everything!

It's dead simple; remove two capacitors and put one back in a different place... The frequency response looks like this (before and after) [URL=http://s1221.photobucket.com/user/paul_510/media/swrmod_zpsfda11699.jpg.html][IMG]http://i1221.photobucket.com/albums/dd471/paul_510/swrmod_zpsfda11699.jpg[/IMG][/URL] And this is how it looks in the real world.

GFS pickups all the way, for guitar OR bass.

After a 4 hour rehearsal today I can confirm that my SM400 is now über loud - last rehearsal it was pretty much maxed out to keep up with a drummer and 2 guitarists, today it didn't go above half.

Depending on how it's wired (presumably an RC filter, if 2 of the 3 lugs are going to ground) the 10nf will focus on or around 650Hz to 3,385Hz and the 15nf will operate on frequencies between 429Hz to 2,257Hz. Obviously there's a lot of overlap, but of the 2 I'd plump for the 10nf. You should of course wire the 10nf in parallel with a 2nd, 2nf capacitor to achieve 12nf, your frequencies would then be 536Hz to 2,281Hz. Another option would be to use a variable capacitor, (a little trimpot) but I'm not sure there's enough room on the board for anything lie that...

[quote name='TG Flatline' timestamp='1399748571' post='2447321'] Doctortweek for all your odds and sods needs :-) [/quote] This. Get some Lead solder too - lead free stuff melts at a higher temperature than 'proper' solder, and you risk damaging the board.

I preferred Sibelius 2 to anything they've done since. Unfortunately OS updates mean that that's not an option anymore. Sibelius First 7 does everything I need now, but it looks like an iPhone app instead of a professional creative tool, I suppose that's just marketing though.

DIY colposcopy.

£300 scrap value? Possibly...

what he said - sounds like a top night out.

My mate once used one to keep the exhaust on thr van from Portsmouth back to Manchester (post gig).
