King Tut

RIP Sam

I went to see Girl at the Marquee. Marillion were Support and bought a coach load of fans in from Aylesbury. They played a blinder - then went to see them at Reading which was their big break really, I think they’d just parted ways either way originally drummer Mick Pointer which was the subject matter for the song Assasing. The misses and I are briefly visible in one of their Hammersmith Odeon Videos!

Stray have bee asked to go on tour with British Lion this December. We'll be doing all 15 dates in December but not the November ones. Apparently the five London nights have sold out already. We supported them in Nottingham and Manchester last year and had a blast. To say we're excited is an understatement!

Well pedal toppers or not I’m definitely out now as I purchased a pink Sire fiver from here at the weekend!

Not my experience and I own both. The M has the ability to get more toppy and a stronger hi mid. The front end is very much like an SVT which the controls pretty much mimic. I much prefer the M over the T although the T is still a lot of amp for the money.

Texted you mate

Totally agree

Me neither mate. It’s odd how they all seem to do it though. And like I said it only makes a noise if you turn it with a signal going through.

Actually my comment about the front end related to the M not the T. I’ve got both and I prefer the M but the T is still a great amp, mellower then the M. My comments re the volume knob stand for both heads

They’re great. Only problem is the volume pot will become scratchy but it’ll only make a noise if you turn it while sound is coming through it. I’ve used one extensively touring with Stray. Front end mimics an SVT which is nice because we often get an SVT when backline is supplied. Only problem I’ve had was when the gain knob took a bash in transit and pushed the back of the pot off. Managed to fix this myself. I don’t use the compressor so can’t comment on that. It’s never left me wanting for volume.

It’s gone!

I still reckon the Bugera would’ve been worth a punt - albeit they weren’t in stock until summer. I had omelette for lunch yesterday!

I’ve got the Bugera head. This looks like a bloody good combo for the money, the heads are great. They missed a trick by not having a speaker out connection though.

I’m out, just bought a pack of pedal toppers for the Stomp. Not too extravagant though!!

This was Friday at The Craufurd. Top to bottom: LD headphone transmitter, Bugera Veyron MOSFET (spare), GK MB500 main amp and Supertwin. Had the same rig the following night at The Cart and Horses but used their in house Blackstar 4x10. I used my Ric 4003 on Friday and my Fender pro Jazz on Saturday with a Lekato wireless into an HX Stomp XL.
