  1. 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!

    Funnily enough, I ended up finding what I hope to be a direct replacement for the old one, as mine uses threaded captivated nuts which are stronger than screwing in a wood screw. I started looking for a replacement wheel but I found one with the right dimensions on ebay. With luck they'll be here ASAP, and I can see if they work. 

    This is them in case anyone is after some as well.

    Excellent I’m after 2 for my 610.

  3. 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!

    Hipshot kickass, just fitted one to my jazz, huge improvement in tone, adjustable spacing, no grooves to cut unlike an original badass, and drops straight onto a fender. Paid £49 delivered from an eBay seller in the US.

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

  5. 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

    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!

    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?

    Thus sending 150w to the cab and 150w to the resistor. :unsure:

    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.
