I just sold a zoom R16 to Gerry. Lovely guy to chat with and all communications spot on. Many thanks!

Graham bought a strap from me. Lovely guy, good comms, many thanks!

Biggest earner of the year cancelled, as most things are in Wales. A big shame, but probably for the best. The venue's a hotel on the edge of talyllyn lake, fireworks over the water at midnight. Lovely. I hate nye. Gigs make it so much better. Suspect I'll see it in with jools H but have just got a pod go which is taking up more of my brain power than i expected. Hey ho believe me I'm very grateful to be in a warm covid free house this winter!

just traded pedals with Ben. lovely guy to deal with. many thanks!

My pickups from Paul had arrived but it was a bad day and I missed them, totally my bad but Paul was a true understanding gent. Many thanks for making a life a little bit better today Paul.

Just bought a GK legacy from James. He couldn't have been more helpful and had some good band chat in the process. Many thanks James!

Just bought a cab off Andy. Very easy purchase. Many thanks Jo

Just bought a neck from Martyn. All went swimmingly. Many thanks Jo

Just bought a barefaced cab from John. We met an hour's drive from his home and had a great car park chat before going our separate ways. A great pleasure! Many thanks. Jo

Don't temp me!

Yes I've got all the pc plus monitors etc and they're not bad, though happen to be in the wrong room from my basses and not much I can do about that. I should start using the pc more, it mainly gets used for learning new band material, haven't done much of that lately!

Nothing really, my dark glass is fine, my rm800 has a notched volume knob, one notch up from zero is too loud unless I turn the input gain right down. My main gigging amp is gk fusion 500. Same sort of problem, I can only crack open the master vol and turning the input gain right down limits the amount of valve drive I can get. I really am not trying to make a huge point. I managed ok before, but it's a bit easier now. It just an idea that's simple and quick to do if anyone had the same issue.

Quite agree, it worked on the 4 different makes of amp I tried. Tc electronic Gk Ashdown Darkglass I guess the send output impedance is always going to be quite low. So not a problem but it'll fall down with a hiZ on the return.

Yes indeed!

I quite agree, a voltage divider is the right thing to do, but I just happened across a 56k resistor and thought I'd give it a try and it worked well for me, only took 5 mins to make and it's easier fitting one resistor in a jack plug rather than 2. I'm not trying to convert anyone, just thought I'd pass it on in case it strikes a chord with anyone.
