i might give the 18v trick a go, although i can see it ending up using thr 9v supply for my pedalboard if it's a keeper. delivery was attempted today - hopefully it'll be available for collection tomoz morning.

lovely bass...

we just hope we get the amp fixed for the end of the month for the time in the recording studio

just musing on my guitarist friend's problem... he bought a laney valve amp from GAK a couple on months ago and now it's packed up. he's going to talk to GAK tomoz and try and get it repaired. the amp's had only very light use, so chances are it's a problem with the amp rather than way it's been treated. now, this leaves him ampless... has anyone ever manged to get a replacement amp out of a company in this kind of situation ? i'm sure there's no legal requirement for the company to help in this way, but if it were a car in for repair, you might get a courtesy car. any thoughts ?

thought it was about time i bit the bullet and splashed the cash to see if all the fuss is justified. can't wait to be honest

RCD plus the two

MY. GOD. and my girlfren said she wanted to buy me something musical for my birthday

[quote name='Final Loan' post='185148' date='Apr 25 2008, 10:34 AM']Yeah, I've seen. But he originally put a buy it now of £400 and this time he said he wanted £500 to end the auction early. You can buy 'em brand new for £400![/quote] can you ??? where ??? i've got a starfire, but i'd be interested in a cassidy for that price...spesh if it were in black !!! who knows...i might even sell my starfire then...

i met up with BBN to try and then buy his 50W laney linebacker. lovely guy, amp was just what i needed. if you ever fancy buying something from him, have no hesistation - he's a gent.

just bought Doc's kent armstrong pickup. super-fast delivery, and a proper gent to deal with. he even tossed in a switch for the coil-switching !! many thanks

a band i was in years ago played metroland at the metrocentre once. that was weird...massive PA, kids on fun rides...and a bunch of us crusties playing...

ok - just an update on the faulty steel leather. the nice people at creative tools have tested my steel leather and have agreed to replace it as it [i]was[/i] passing current through to the output, so they're going to replace it. i also spoke to them about my micro q-tron which the steel leather damaged and ehx have said they'll replace that as well. BUT...here's the rub. EHX say that that steel leather can't be run off the same power supply as other pedals...it needs its own psu or has to be run off batteries. [i]WTF ?[/i] nowhere in the instructions does it say this, and i'm going to be contacting ehx to tell them i think if that's the case then they should say so explicitly in the instructions. so, if you're planning on getting a steel leather, bear this in mind.
