With MI Audio, how about the Boost n Buff. Cheap buffer/flat booster/treble booster

Ah...No! But I get some sense of what you are trying to say. Our language doesn't cope really well with describing tone...

Oh, and Ian Moss and Mark Lizotte aka Diesel, keeping it Aussie

Murray Cook, also known as the Red Wiggle!

His playing is actually really good and tasteful and understated.

Not that a clean boost is a bad thing, it just adds gain, that's all. If I understand it correctly the signal goes... Guitar-cable-input jack-first triode of V1 (first 12AX7)-gain control-second triode of V1-V2 (phase splitter)-master volume-power valves (2 EL84s) It's possible the master volume com...

38 years old, wife and 3 kids under 6 years old, (the kids, not the wife obviously). Live Sydney, OZ. (Australia) Playing guitar since 1992, not nearly as good as I should be as I don't work too hard at it or stretch myself at all. I just play electric and acoustic rhythm in church each week. I'm OK...

Welcome!

I don't think I can invite you to a show like Neil...

You have to have some pretty big cajones to play that type of music for a large crowd. not too big...otherwise sitting on one and hitting one could get really uncomfortable. those are really neat. i'm a percussionist in my soul i think...i bang on everything and particularly like djembe's. how much...

Happy Birthday, kinda...

That's kinda Birthday, not kinda Happy, obviously...

what exactly are those? i've seen them around and thinking they're kinda neat. the dude from boyce avenue uses one. It's called a Cajon (Ca-Hone) and gives bass, tom, and snare/rim sounds, with snare wires that are adjustable on the bottom, as well as a B-Band pickup in this case. If you mess aroun...

I played the Malcolm Young signature Gretsch last week when I bought the Boost n Buff through at TT combo, mostly clean. It's really nice, bright and clean, but you can darken it quickly with the tone switch. It can clearly rock hard, even completely clean! If I hadn't bought the Doozy already, that...

It's certainly a good guitar stool!

First, my birthday and Christmas present. http://i233.photobucket.com/albums/ee175/doctorjay99/IMG_0193.jpg I can't do more than very simple 8th note rhythm on it: bass-tone-slap-bass-bass-tone-slap-tone, but I'm doing a brief course in two weeks, so will learn some more stuff. I'm also hoping it wi...

How are things shaping up now?

Van Cleef, where did you go in Sydney? The usual suspects for MIJ stuff are Global Vintage for second hand and Musicians Workshop Sydney for new (usually Tokai). The Jazzmaster is really the kind of thing that Global Vintage stocks. They're a really cool shop, and a pedal hound's delight. http://sto...
