I don't have time to fix the foot switch and I'll not really need it - so it's available here for postage: A slightly more sensible option might be to just take one of the cabs to the gig, depending on which you prefer the sound of on its own? When and where are you emigrating to, and are you taking this rig? Keeping the pedal with the head could be a nice touch for a future owner to fix. Quote

There will be no future owner, well, not until I've popped my clogs. We're emigrating to the Republic of Ireland. So not as crazy as Australia or Canada, and I have the longer wheel base VW Caddy so I can get all my amps, basses, etc. in the van and take them over myself. As to which cab I prefer, I've not had a chance to really play with it yet - I'd only just got over Christmas when we had an offer on our house so everything has been pretty crazy since then.

What a fantastic place to live with a music culture second to none, I'm jealous! Personally, I'd still keep the pedal; you'll probably make new contacts in Ireland with the skills to diagnose/fix it, and it could still prove an asset at home. 2 Quote

Well, in between here and being in Ireland we're staying in a 1-room studio flat so my stuff is staying with a friend who's learning saxophone. My partner drums, so we're going to set up the AH300 and my double bass and her drum kit to do some jamming when we visit. After that, I'm hoping to get into a band in Ireland on double bass. But I have my TE Elf combo for that. 2 Quote

They're called the Olllam and they're a great live band. Only time I've ever heard a crowd cheer the Uilleann pipes coming in like it was a bass drop at a rave. 1 Quote

Yes, but once you have played your stack with the volume unleashed in a bar you may want some more of that. I used to take my 1518 to a jam and one time another guy brought his combo so we used both. After that I always took my 210 as well. It's not as if the solo 1518 was short of oomph but the effortless weight of tone that could be brought forth by digging in a bit with master only on 2, aye karumba, overkill is good when used responsibly. 2 Quote
