Cant really see why there should be a problem, he says that cash on collection is fine so if you dont like it dont part with yer cash! I reckon anyone parting with a couple of grand on the bay to buy a guitar without checking it out is asking for trouble! Ed

Tutto il discorso in italiano confonde, esso abbastanza duro in inglese!

Waldo says "My only gripe is that I find the compressor quite useless " Yet Merton says "it's an indispensible tool" So I guess it has to be subjective! does anybody have any links to any articles of how to use compression to maximum effect and what I can expect it to achive? Thanks Eddy

[quote name='Waldo' post='320181' date='Nov 2 2008, 02:55 PM']I have one of the new trace combos and it's fantastic. Very clear with a lot of punch but also has a nice warmth about it. You can do pretty much anything you like with the EQ. My only gripe is that I find the compressor quite useless but I've never been one for compressors anyway.[/quote] Is compresor a love/hate thing? as I read so many conflicting reports ive only known the trace one so have nothing to compare it with! I would like to hear some sound clips of different setting from a highly rated compressor if anyone knows of any? Eddy

I reckon you need to make it clear if you want......... Power amp Head unit Combo To assist helpers If its a combo then something like this..............

"The guitar was purchased new by my brother, I bought it from him at about five years old" 5 years old is young to be buying guitars like that int it?

He's fully conversant in all the rock school stuff and has recently taken over from me at Ashfield School (now I'm exclusively teaching in North East Lincs) as the resident guitar/bass teacher. He also only lives around the corner from you in Top Valley. 07802 860542. In fact you probably know him as Paul from the Beer Monsters/The PHD. Rich.[/quote] Is he still doing them ive emailed him from his website and no replies?

Heres me latest rig, Bit of a Trace new and old fan, I guess you can tell, just after a boxer 15 to complete the family!

Well Matts pictures inspired me to get all the kids together in one room and dig the camera out, here the results! guess you know what they are

It dont seem to distort my 5 piece plays in a small room at stupid volume and the auto levels handle it well!

Hey that was good "my little song", very clever lyrics but they fell into the mix around 2.09 and then it sounded like you had run out of lyrics, shame I was looking forward to more! Not fussed on the other 2, but a good sound all the same well done!

All that green makes you proud to be british dont it! Now wheres my camera!

I remeber some article I think in bass player where they dropped a head unit out of a block of flats on landing the unit still worked apart from a loose pcb board, in my opinion Peavey make some of the most robust gear knocking around so I think the robustness (if thats a word) is there to be seen! On the upshot of price its a buyers market at the mo and some of the gear can be picked up at bargain prices compared to rrp. On the board I think gear goes in trends there seemed to be a trend for mark bass - ashdown etc but then everyone wants the next best thing whatever that maybe so its then up for sale at a bargain price all being well! I never hear much difference in a shop as they all sound similar at "shop volume" but to +1 the saying if you like it get it, I love mine it does what it says on the tin! Eddy

Just to carry on from thunderheads post, ive got the newer peavey made stuff and have not had a blip so far, although some people dont like the tone it means you can get used trace stuff real cheap! I think there a loads of tones you can get from this set up and I guess its made by peavey so it cant be all bad! can it? So give it a whirl its as cheap as chips Eddy
