Re: Considering building my own true-bypass loop switcher

Not trying to discourage you but if you've never built anything like this before, perhaps spend your money on an actual pedal switcher that may include some presets and maybe some other nice features. At the same time you could try your hand at a small loop switcher to see how it comes together with...

Re: Tubes !!

Its just the way it is. JJ in Slovakia sorted me out directly. They were very nice about it too so id recommend for anyone in the EU. I used to use Watford valves in the UK all the time but Brexit has made that just silly expensive so thats the end of that. Thanks for all the info fellas....Much app...

Re: Your favorite pedals

Howdy! really got 'into' the pedal thing over the last number of years. I rotate quite a bit but a few staples that I use with an Orange AD30 combo and a Groove Tubes Soul-O 75 are Fuzz - Moose electronics - Nomad / Dobsky vG OD - Fulltone OCD / Hudson Broadcast Dual / ProCo Turbo Rat / ThorpyFX War...

Re: NAD incoming

I got the amp and got to spend a good bit of time with it today. It came loaded with 6L6 tubes and It is definitely in Fender territory with the clean channel. Lots more sparkle than the hot rod deluxe that I parted with. The scream channel is harder to pin down. Its a refined kinda sound, I don't t...

Re: NAD incoming

The cab arrived today! And it's waaaaay more compact than I thought it was gonna be! It's way narrower than the closed back and looks way cooler in black in the flesh than I thought. Have to wait till Saturday to get a speaker lead and get the amp. Updates as soon as they land!

The quest for tone continues! :lol: :lol: I sold off my Fender Hot Rod deluxe to a friend. It was in mint nic so got a pretty good price for it and it suits his needs. I've also sold off a few pedals and things and am re-investing in An Orange PPC 212 OB in black and a Groove Tubes Soul-O 75 head. T...

Re: AD30 pre-amp tubes

I just get JJ's for my AD30TC... I find that when I put in new tubes, the difference is startling enough from the older tubes that had slowly changed character despite being the same brand of tubes... They are just dependable aren't they? Might make the order this evening and see where we are. I fi...
