It went for 127£. Too bad I didn't see it earlier. Dollars to donuts it has the same power supply arrangements as the D180 which is a simple change around of the tap routing to go from 120 to 240v. If anyone ever needs the skinny on the conversion get in touch. 200w is generous for it but that's a good thing so you can overdrive it without blowing up your cab and your ears.

The SVT is almost twice as heavy as the Mesa from memory!

2nd cab everyday except Sunday, when you get the band to quiet down.

Does last October count?

Google gain staging. Clipping can occur anywhere from the bass preamp to the speaker, eventually even your ears!

Having tried picking and finding it not my bag I have developed a decent enough tip of finger twang that keeps everyone happy. Each to their own.

Flat battery is the usual suspect assuming you aren't a total newbie failing to turn down enough.

I'll contribute something a bit different, because everyone loves something a bit different. Prunes and Custard isn't a synth or a fuzz or a distortion or a chorus or phase or envelope but it is fun combining it with just about anything to get synthy discombobulated yet recognizable notes out of it. By itself it's pretty nifty too but kicking in other pedals it almost qualifies the OP brief. Disclaimer, I never used it to cop specific cover version synth sounds.

Combos make a lot more sense these days with neodymium drivers and classD amps. If you're going to gave PA support it's almost a nobrainer. On the other hand mixing brands has never been an issue for me. Plug in, tweak, play. I started all Trace Elliot then got gas and now have a multitude of possible combinations available. Never once did 'this amp plays better out of that cab' occur to me when grabbing gear to go play. A grab and go combo would be quite handy but I have too much gear already!

Mr B'ringer started out as an electronics student financing his studies by making copies of a very expensive mixing console of the day. I forget the make. Nothing much has changed in the business model.

You can keep your 1% beer!

Your boom problem with Handbox and Helix sounds like a failure to adjust to the room. 'Boom' usually lives in your lower mids as a floor ceiling resonance or deeper as a wall to wall one. If you are good with the mental arithmetic you can figure it out by knowing the speed of sound and the 1st resonance is where the distance is half the wavelength. V=f.L solve for speed of sound V, frequency f, wavelength is twice distance. 1100ft/sec= freq. X 2D Sometimes it's the acoustic guitar booming away and everyone is looking daggers at you because most of the bass frequency energy is actually in the next octave above the 'piano' fundamental note. The guitar is there too with his fundamentals.

You left fingers off the top of the list. Fingers plus a touch sensitive overdrive is my nirvana when overdriven tones are allowed.

Bars get away with blue murder here on account of no official recognition of 'pint' any more. A pint can be any somewhat larger glass/mug/thimble they say is a 'pint'.

Don't forget the leap seconds they add every now and then to keep the atomic clocks in sync with the sun.

Most amps can be bypassed straight into the fx return. If your pedal setup has a line(ish) level output and a noise free DI, that's one way of getting more control of what's coming out.

That's all there is to it in a nutshell. The rest is marketing.

If you read it carefully it says only businesses require one but they don't make a point of it.

I am in lockdown so plenty of free time to edit stuff if you like.

If you follow the appropriate links from the helpful post above yours you land on that page! Suck it up buttercup, you're dealing with a beaurocratic hydra but c'est la vie. Once you have printed off your OPR you have chopped its nuts off and it will comply.

Would it not be more productive to do it in here and edit the OP into a comprehensive guide?

From another of the links: ''Did you export this under Outward Processing Relief? OPR is usually used for the export of items for repair which will be returned after repair. If OPR has been used then there will not be a problem with re-importing the goods free of import duty and tax. If a fee has been charged for the repair then duty and tax will be payable on this value.'' Pretty much sums up what to do at your end to get it away. Get the OPR. Then your reimportation should be a matter of them quoting the OPR on the other end docket along with detailed notes of your payments for repair and shipping. Check with the repair people.

I take issue with a 100w combo not being gig worthy. Only after I was stunned by one doing the job last year. Definitely loud enough to be too loud in a pub Bugera '1000w' is old news.

Keywords: ''as possible''. There is only so much vaccine coming our way each month. Bookings for first jabs were out to late Sep by this afternoon. At the rate the Delta spreads we would have everyone infected by then if we just carried on like normal. Plan is the snap lockdown takes us back down to zero in a week or so with more livable restrictions ongoing until we are sure it's gone again.
