Nice, MEC! Looks like a great haul.

I asked my grandparents for some cash last night for Christmas so that I can gut out my old Valve Junior head and wire in a new circuit board into it from Watts Tube Audio using orange drop caps, mod it to more of a Fender sound, and use a 6L6 instead of an EL84.

I also hung out with the guy that built one of my cabs over the weekend, and I think we might be collaborating on a few things in the future. I know that he's going to be building me a new combo shell for that Valve Junior. Going to end up having it be the same dimensions as the other cab he built me, and use a 12" speaker instead of the 8" speaker in the combo now. All in all I think it'll be great. When I don't want to use the head I can just use the cab as another extension speaker. Stoked!

Hell yes!

Well the mother fuzz load arrived

jerms mkI tonebender....still boxed up

pigdog spectrafuzz....holy shit this fucking rocks. its kinda pretty similar to my burns buzzaround.

jmi zonk machine.....yes i understand why they named it zonk, easy to get weird squaks and squeals out of it.

shin-ei fy-6.....seems like i remember them sounding. just godly

kay fuzz tone.....oh this is some nasty nasty nasty nasty nasty nasty buzzy fuzz. works on a treadle as the tone control.

vintage foxx tone machine.....in red to match my foxx wah/fuzz pedal this one is giving me a the tone control has some hiccup and there's nothing really going on but muted fuzz, and the octave doesn't seem to work...so swiped it back and forth and heard some treble content, stopped there and everything is 100%. was able to get the tone to work fine but would cut back to muted unless i tapped it. need to open it up and see whats going on. all i can think is to spray some contact cleaner in there.

today.....was a good day

edit: also the foxx is in incredible condition. i think i made more marks on the red fuzzzz when i was putting in the battery then it already had. and damn those old battery connects are tiny as

Pot is bad maybe or wires aren't making proper connection due to age. Probably a simple fix!

Thanks for the input. i figure bouncing around in shipping... hopefully its just a solder joint. thanks again.

Goodbye 24 incoming.



Also found a good eBay deal on a couple matched pairs of Gold Lion reissue KT88s. Gonna run 'em in my Ampeg V2 (courtesy of MeSoFuzzy courtesy of SpaceFlunky - THANX DUDEZ!) and Dunwich Metro, see what all the fuss is about. Usually just run JJs and they've been good to me thus far.

Nice. I have that same color SC in the '71 version, it kicks serious ass. Had the GVT15H awhile back, cool little amp, a little picky with fuzz/dirt but the EQ is really powerful and you can tweak it to death to make it behave.

SOLID STATE FANBOI FO LIFE


Randall Commander VI. It's in my dorm right know (the seller even brought it here), so can't test it at high volumes but it sounds promising already. Can't wait to pump it at full bast when I get it in the rehearsal space!

I also got a Hiwatt NCA108 (seventies SS Hiwatt) recently, needed some care from a tech but I got it back last weekend? Now it slays! Don't have pic of it, but it looks like this, only mine is looking way more beat up (no more tolex etc.):


With all these purchases you'd think I'm doing alright on with the GAS, but damn I really want a Critter and Guitari Pocket Piano GR

I believe he said all 3 pedals were being redesigned (I believe they are all out of production now), but I could be imagining he said all 3. Definitely the WNF though. He said he would email me if he gets anymore details on it. I guess we'll see.

That's great news

Yeah I had a Mini Ark and the Wow & Flutter at the same time. Looked great but I couldn't write anything that included the Ark

If I actually hear back from the guy with more info, I will let everyone know. I am sure there are a few people here who would be interested.

you're good people

i wonder if he's redesigning them too aside from the smaller enclosures....

Yeah I asked him that, but he didn't know. I hope it doesn't get dumbed down like the minifoogers.
