The more Pro stuff I come into contact with can handle it fine. It absolutely smashes lower-end desks and my Scarlett interface, tho. The adapter brings it pretty much in line with my R400.

Aye, but…. Newcastle, eh?

You can buy attenuators from Amazon etc., but as well as costing significantly more, they tend to take the form of long metal barrels which I wouldn’t want sticking out of my amp, or the desk. You cloud stick it out of the way with an XLR either side of it, tho.

Jesus. How did he get an 8+ minute video out of that?

Sorry - totally forgot to reply to this. Here's Leszek's instructions. 3x 0.25W - 1k resistors Leszek suggested using other values for the RC resistors: 1x - 0.25W - 470ohm resistor 1x - 0.25W - 2k resistor ..but I went with 1k from the start, and it's just the job. Gigged it last night and it's great to be able to drive the preamp 🙂

Boxes in progress... looks like a pretty hands-on process.

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.'
