To be honest the can adds as much to the sound as the amp so it is better to record directly and add the processing after. I use a Focusrite for recording or even my Soundcraft Mixer, never straight from the amp. It’s not what it is designed for.

I keep thinking that I will get one of Andy or Jabba’s and then I buy another amp or cab.,,,

I have contacted Aalin to compare notes, so hopefully we can get useful results going forward.

I need to re-evaluate my measurement techniques, but once I have done that I would be happy to check anyone's amp for them.

I have some responses for the Elf, Gnome, Ashdown Retroglide800, Ashdown RM500, Ashdown MiBass 550 as well as the Bugera Veyron 1001M. I will upload them later but the Ashdown all had a similar response, the Elf had , as @Phil Starrexplained the Elf had a typical smiley face EQ, Tge gnome went up and up and up and the EQ had to be tweaked heavily to obtain a near flat response. The Bugera was remarkably fiat with just a hint of an HPF. One reason probably that I have to use an aggressive HPF on the Zoom B1Four. I will use the Ashdown Retroglide at the next Gig/Rehearsal to see if it sounds wildly different.

This should have come first but massive thanks to the following, Firstly @scrumpymike and the Scrumpettes, how they stand the cachoohomy for 6 plus hours… they must love you Mike. @Andyjr1515who kindly fettled my nut slots ( ooh er missus) and made my Marcus Miller M2 really playable. To, @Phil Starrand @steviefor their help and support both at the bash and through the year. A lot of work and planning goes into those DIY designs and the best of luck with LFSys @stevie I only put the tablet holder into the raffle at the last minute but the pleasure it gave @Smanthwas heartwarming. To everyone else, thanks for making it a great day and forgive me for forgetting your names.

To everyone be that spoke to me about cables, Please send me a PM. I was coming down with a bug yesterday and drove 2 hours on about 6 hours sleep so I was not quite there.

That was mine. It was all wrong, designed to be same size as my After Eighty (the modified Ashdown After Eight). It is far from ideal dimensions and neither Phil or I expected great things from it. Suffice to say we were pleasantly surprised. We will put the dimensions On the first some point. It was made with 18mm ply and could easily go down to 15or maybe 12mm?

You may not be leaving with it........☠️

As long as no one calls you Dorito.

2 hours for me 😃

I used to work for Panasonic Broadcast, got to love those ******* Lemo connectors. I tried using Amphenol for guitar cables, but the good ones had a horrible cable retention systems that, to my mind, was not ideal. There were also as expensive as Neutrik. HiCon are OK, but again the range varies from superb to cheap and nasty.

I have one of those. I will bring it along. PM’d

If it is the power section and based upon ICEPower modules, I have a couple I could let you have for a small fee. I agree with @basstoneit is a shame that some companies do not support third party service. I should add that most of the British based amp makers are good.

I have been one of @stevie’s Guinea 🐷🐷 and I have to say that these are a few steps on from the DIY designs. No babies were thrown out with the bath water but the tweaks, changes and hundreds of hours spent in development, mean these are special cabinets. They are genuinely hand built with many of the components designed and made in-house. Suffice to say that my BC112 MK3 will soon be retired and repurposed.

Do they do that in Trace Green?

What make and model?

It all depends on how money points we measure but no more than 10 minutes per amp.

I hope you feed it and let it have some excercise.

I think @Phil Starrmight have something to say, but I would like to hear a K12.2.

Very generous David.

We were hoping someone would bring an Elf to try with the 8" cab.

Agreed, it is a skill worth developing and makes life easier all round. Again I agree, Sommer, Klotz or Mogami. Van Damme guitar cable has let me down several times over the years, so I never use it. Getting boring, but in general I agree. There are some good plugs made by others, but few have the quality range that Neutrik have. I also like many of Neutrik's budget range, Rean. Other hook and loop systems are available. I have Velcro on all my cables and put them on all the longer cables, I sold. I think I will offer it as a no cost option in future. Or 2 or 3. Happy to make them for you… On a serious point, I have been thinking about doing a thread on cables and connectors. It will have to wait until after the SW Bass Bash.

Getting there. I am almost as excited by this as my own builds.

A good shout Mike, our singer and some friends are all very infectious at the moment.
