Yeah, it had a strong vibe of this:

It's not exactly a new experience for us. It'll barely leave a dint.

The music scene would have been even livelier back then, too. And The Tube was being filmed here then - a pioneering music TV show that attracted the world’s biggest names. Oh, and the Animals were from here.

@Bluewine - give this a watch. It covers the region in general, not just Newcastle. Makes me well up every time I watch it (not least because WOT Jr. is in it).

Blue collar town. Centre of the known universe. You'd like it here. Curious as to why you ask...?

It really isn't.

Pots are like tyres. Sooner or later they’ll need to be replaced. Don’t worry about those.

Overly hot WB-100 DI sorted. Total cost: about a fiver.

Yep, same problem on the one I had. Unbelievable misstep by Fender. I just put some sticky dots on it.

Yep - she's absolutely dynamite. Got to play with her once, and she was immense.

I LOVE the bit with the telephone.

I hope you swiftly corrected them.

Read the book…

I forgot about The Who’s car-crash in the middle of Won’t Get Fooled Again..

No...?

Sounds like you might just need to hold on a little longer... from the horse's mouth: 'Musicians in Poland are also waiting for the R-400. The hold-up is the wooden box - it is difficult and time-consuming to do this. I asked the musicians what they thought about the version without a wooden box, and there was only one answer - everyone wants only in a wooden box. My plan is to finish the R-400 by mid-January.'

I’ve just bought the bits to make one up. I’ll report back once it’s done 🙂

Yeah, I’ll share the diagram for the adapter when I get it.

Absolutely - the DI itself sounds amazing. It's just very hot - much hotter than my R-400.

I absolutely love it! I'm about ten gigs in now. EQ-wise, I just leave it flat. Boom hasn't been a problem for me, but I use a Gramma pad and my cab (TKS 2x12) is pretty tight down low. That said, there is some I would change about it... the DI is very hot. Too hot for a couple of desks I've come across, and my Scarlett DI. I had to run the input gain barely on, which is a shame. Leszek's been very helpful and is sending me instructions on how to make a short adapter cable that has a couple of resistors or suchlike in it to tame the signal 🙂

Cheers, Dave - I ended up going with Roqsolid. Usually their covers drop over the top, but they made me a custom cajon-style case that you put the amp into, and zip up at the top (similar to yours, from the sound of it). Here it is... (A little tip for anyone thinking of doing the same... mine came with long stitched-on handles, which I don't need as I'll be carrying it by the amp handle. They'd just flap around and get on my nerves, so I carefully unpicked them and removed them. If I were to order again, I'd specify not to include them.)

It’s measured in smiles.
