How is a quantum computer any different from what we use today aside from being faster?
-
That's pretty much the same price at .81GBP to 1USD.
-
Taking both of you at face value we get down to 12.8 ÷ some round number less than 10 = some round number of years and change. So when computers get some hundreds of times faster again we will be down to days, hours...or we could be there already if the Wiki is out of date by eighteen months.

True, well, almost nobody. And the few that do will generally be quite happy handing it back at 1st opportunity.

How do the dirtbags get hold of people's accounts?

2x10 vs 2x12 and overloading a cab
Downunderwonder replied to shybaldbuddhist's topic in Amps and Cabs
All else equal isn't a bad assumption when it's the same company's cab so I would be quite confident the 212 has a significant extra kick to it. -
Is that the G.I.V.E aka Gate Induced Valve Effect? The other people who properly messed with the power stage sold out to Fender. GenzBenz Streamliner. I haven't heard if the new Genzler or Fender stuff carries the tech forward. It would be a shame if Fender own it but buried it.

This Trace Elliot ELF never ceases to amaze me!!!!
Downunderwonder replied to Mike Bungo's topic in Amps and Cabs
I did a gig with one that needed both low volume clean and unclean with a little more volume. A bit of checking found 9 o'clock on the gain stayed clean with normal dig in and dirtied up while digging in and a little nudge up on the master gave the extra volume. I can't recall what the clean and 'rowdy' master positions were but safe to say it wasn't a rowdy gig so nowhere near maxed out and probably less than noon. Great to have a drummer that does energetic with a light touch so you can do rowdy numbers in polite company. -
One fine day I must get some recording done so I can challenge the class A/B fans to pick them from my tube and class D amps.

What do your guitarists use onstage?
Downunderwonder replied to Dankology's topic in General Discussion
I used to play with a guy who used a home made one with his tiny Orange on the 7w setting. LAF it could be but he had it under control so as not to be the loudest thing in the room. Drummer had a volume knob and I was only needing 210 cab and a handful of watts to push all the talkers all the way the back while the boogie folk boogied. Happy days. -
So you changed string gauges to get all this extra tension? Why tune using the harmonics? Because you can. Because it's relatively quiet. Because the high pitches are easy to make out. But mostly because you forgot your tuner so you snag the guitarist's G and carry on.

I guess that makes sense and reminds me why I never became an electrician.
-
In NZ the max on any device with a standard 3 pin plug is 10A I think. High current stuff needs its own outlet with a different plug.
-
Dunno. I expect they do these days but must be enough dodgy 19th century wiring around still that they persist in fusing the plugs on IEC leads? Why else?
-
Only one that I saw. Try using shorter sentences. That makes it harder to mix things up. Using more paragraphs also helps.
-
I thought music shops et al sell lemon scented petroleum product? Real lemon oil I could get behind.
-
Big little typo there Red.
-
Everywhere else in the world fuses the house wiring so plug fuses are not required. Your amp will fine with anything that can plug into it that is rated to supply its needs. 60w is not a lot. Current blows fuses not voltage. Since the amp is destined for 220 to 240 v supply it should have the correct fuse already in it.

What do your guitarists use onstage?
Downunderwonder replied to Dankology's topic in General Discussion
My guitar players have all used little combos turned right down with pedals and mic'd. Easy to do if the stage volume is under control. If your band has the whole band monitor thing going on all you need it a mic and a stool to put the litte box combo on so you get a good earful. -
Just trying and failing to be funny I assume. The combo would naturally be under the extension speaker. So Always lower than when set on top. Substitute 'setting' for 'position' and carry on.
-
Have you never hefted an SVT? Must be some sense to it for him or he would have to be an absolute head case to keep hefting it.

Sounds about right. The gig that tanked an experimental jazz combo of mine was playing to a blues cafe. The BL went psycho at me and the drummer on the way home because it wasn't his fault we went down like a lead balloon. I quit the next day and they did 3 more gigs with a rope in who couldn't do what I did. The end. Some years on I was invited to effectively a reformation where I was the only surviving member. I brought in half the bass grooves that got it started. Did a bunch of spectacular gigs and it all fell over for no good reason. Next chapter yet to be written.

Try it. I bet you wind up with a slightly lower output knob position. More clarity with less volume is a very good thing.

Best of both worlds
