Excellent thank you very much Neil 👍

Got sorted with another eBayer 👍

Bought an Ashdown hyperdrive pedal from Painy. Great comms, kept up to date throughout, parcel was excellent and item arrived in great condition. Deal with confidence. Thank you!

The eBay seller won’t post me a set as I live in Northern Ireland, what a PITA.

Excellent I’m after 2 for my 610.

Bought a set of DiMarzio PJ pickups from Nick. Good comms, excellent packaging, well wrapped, protected and very neat. I would 100% recommend dealing with Nick!

I bought one from a US ebay shop as well and it’s great for the adjustment, came in less than a week!

UK built fdeck I had it built in August last year at a cost of £90

I had an Fdeck hpf made a few months ago I can look for the details if you like.

In the last 12 months my SVT CL has blown a power valve twice, the same position both times! local tech can’t find anything wrong with it, Derek at Watford Valves says it’s dry joints, so I had the tech reflow them, fingers crossed! My SVT is Korean made btw.

I think this is the one. https://www.mcmaster.com/#92765a005/=1btebms I dont know where you get them in the UK tho.

Bought an SFX micro Thumpinator from Gilles. Excellent communication with updates and pictures along with tracking information a very smooth transaction. Highly recommended!!! Thank You Gilles

I have 2 boss FS-5U foot switches plugged into the stop/memory shift jack via a stereo (TRS) to mono “Y” cable (the FS 6 or 7 might work too) pedal to start loop / intro 1st FS-5U stop loop / intro 2nd FS-5U cycle up or down loops / intro There are loads of smaller switches that work too.

I use a boss RC-3 loop station for intros and inbetween song ambient pre recorded loops

[quote name='Norris' timestamp='1506275469' post='3377533'] A resistor would convert the power into heat. If you recall how hot an old 100W filament bulb used to be... Edit: Actually I wonder what the resistance of one of those would be. It wouldn't do your amp much good when the bulb eventually blows though! [/quote] You wouldn’t have to use a bulb maybe something built for that specific purpose, how about an 8ohm cab and something like an 8ohm THD Hotplate set to load, would that achieve 4ohms, thus protecting the output transformer?

[quote name='Bill Fitzmaurice' timestamp='1506271897' post='3377496'] Thus sending 150w to the cab and 150w to the resistor. [/quote] Wouldn’t that offer the head some protection tho? 8ohms is outside the design spec of the SVT CL head, 150w is better than damaging an output transformer.

Would something like this be useful for the likes of an Ampeg SVT CL head? The head is 4 ohm or 2 ohm only, faced with an 8ohm cab I could drop in line an 8ohm resistor and run my head at 4ohms.
