It has to be Tony Iommi for me. A guitarist so influential that his playing started a completely new genre of music and a sub genre (doom) which is pretty much defined by ripping off Iommi riffs. You may disagree if you don't like metal.

I'm a bit confused about preamp pedals (and life in general). My amp contains a preamp so would I use the preamp pedal in front of the amp preamp or in the effects loop? Preamp pedals seem to offer a good bit of tone shaping which is what I want.
-
I don't think it's the switch as there would still be a clean signal through the pedal when the effect is off. It's also switching the indicator light on and off.
-
Unless the repairs cost more than a new one.

I've got an Orange Two Stroke boost /eq pedal which isn't working. The light comes on when I press the switch but no sound comes through whether it's on or off. I've removed it from the pedal board so it's isolated and there's nothing. I hear a little pop as I switch the effect on or off but that's it. Is it likely to be repairable or worth repairing?

Are these slight differences I tone ever going to be noticeable in the mix with a band? I've been at gigs where the bassist has put down one bass and picked up a completely different one and it wasn't noticeable in the mix -
Tone isn't in the wood. Tone comes from the balls. That's just science

I've got a 30 year old amp which is very dusty inside and has a couple crackly knobs. My plan is to open it up, use an air duster to remove the dust and then a little contact cleaner carefully sprayed on the back of the knobs with a cloth to stop it going over everything else. Does that sound reasonable?

There was a lot of good prog (Rush, Pink Floyd) but some of it was just ruined by trying to fit everything in one song. That's why I'm sure the new Honda Civic Type R was styled by an ex prog musician, they put in every feature they could think of.
-
There's sections in that song which are really good but as a whole piece it's so disjointed and in places, bloody awful that it's just not a good song. Some of it is weird for the sake of being weird.
-
It definitely makes a whole lot of sound. It's really loud
-
This is what I've got. It just says GP12SMX on the front and 4001on the back.

Mariah Carey. Twenty seven different notes in every single word. I have a theory that they sing like this to avoid holding any note long enough for you to hear that they're never actually hitting the right notes.
-
I like the Beholden To The Riff channel. It's all doom and stoner metal themed. Great breakdowns of songs, something for all levels, nice tips and tricks and good gear reviews.
-
I like how I can pick through the string and let the picks flex give a nice consistent attack.
-
I used to like really heavy picks with no flex but the more I use them the more I like a thin, flexible pick. Dunlop Tortex 0.66 are my favourite
-
I'd just seen an advert for an amp which said it was recently serviced and was just curious.
-
What would be involved in servicing an amp with tube preamp and solid state power amp? Is it worth getting done?
-
If you play regularly in different tunings it's nice to have one set up for each tuning.
-
I could imagine they could be good if he wasn't absolutely destroyed. I know he had a severe drink problem though.

I saw The Fall at Glastonbury. My mates kept going on about how awesome they'd be. The band were OK but Mark E Smith was bloody awful. He was absolutely wasted when he came on stage. whizzed himself during the first song and couldn't sing. He wandered around the stage messing with the bands instruments as they played. The man was a mess. Disappointed was an understatement.
