King Tut

Yeah the Eden is coming with me. I prefer a taller rig - 2 12" cabs stacked vertically but it's gonna spend a lot of its time in a van so vulnerable to theft. I'd sooner leave the Eden in the van than a Barefaced for that reason.

I finished my shift today to greet five weeks off work - that's four weeks on tour with STRAY and a week Rest and Recuperation. This will be by far my most consuming musical exploit so far - we'll be playing 16 dates over four weeks travelling the length and breadth of England and Wales co-headlining with Ken Pustelnik 's Groundhogs. If you live along the road we'll be taking it would be fab to see you on the way. Feeling very lucky to have been given the opportunity to do this stuff with Del and the other Stray fellas - came a bit late in my musical career - but better late than never and I'm loving every minute of it!

Del (Bromham) who owns it is well known for his use of Firebirds - that's what the case foam was cut for. Not had a chance to try it yet - it's still with Del. We start a tour on Tuesday so there's a good chance I'll be trying it soon!

Zombie thread resurrection - our guitarist is moving house and just found this that he'd forgotten about!

https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Trace-Elliot-GP-11/184173068045?hash=item2ae191ff0d:g:pMIAAOSw6VteSToP Looks pretty old - anyone know what Mark this head is?

Following!

I've been looking for some caps for the graphic on my old Trace head for a while. @Deedee turned me on to some but they were a bit pricey. I found the same component at RS Components much cheaper. They need a slight trim but cut easily with a craft knife - and cheap as chips! Fill ya boots! https://uk.rs-online.com/mobile/p/toggle-switch-caps/1253514/ Fitted -

Recommending what I'm currently using - Bugera Veyron 1001T. Nice and warm, powerful, built in compressor (more of a limited but nice) and cheap as chips.

Thanks fellas - sorted now from RS components. Hopefully got some cheap slider caps too bit won't know for sure until they arrive!

Thanks - them knobs are a bit pricey eh?!

If you could please bud that'd be awesome. I'll get some eq caps ordered!

I've not looked inside. I've tried googling the Bisonic number but it doesn't seem to be in stock anywhere. Thanks @TheGreek I'll Surrey Amps a try!

I'm revisiting my old TE amps as well as acquiring a new one. I've got a lovely old MK V AH250 that I want to start gigging again but the fan is really noisy. I've found a replacement in the US but I don't think they ship to the UK - it's here: https://britishaudio.com/products/trace-elliot-mark-5-120v-cooling-fan Anyone know where I could buy an equivalent that I can get in the UK? Also has anyone had any luck finding replacements for the whit caps on the EQ sliders?

I've not been to one yet. I'd come so long as I'm not gigging/working.

Have no clue where it's from - is there a joke in there or am I overthinking things?!!

I'll have a look when i dig it out of the garage. I know one of the inputs doesn't work so I 'll fix that before I flog it and check the speaker while I'm at it.
