There has to be some reason for staying up till 1 every night building power supplies.

It's good to treat oneself now and then.

Well, I do know what you are doing but, unless you have some kind of financial target you are aiming at, it does beg the questions, why, and is it worth it?

Well, lust got the better of me. The combination of it being my birthday last week (and a prime birthday at that), and spotting this 9 year old specimen on line in a shop up the road (Manchester), I now am looking after one of these

best learn to play it now.

don't know how I missed it, that is wonderful enjoy learning, there is large amounts of envy here

Been working at the Students Union here since Christmas, mainly rigging up the ~35kW PA system for club nights. Arrive at 4pm, get home again at 6.30am.

Decided to reward myself, as a lot of the recent events had been quite well paid...

The obligatory "topless" shot. CD included for scale - this thing is really tiny.

I've had the guitar for a while, and the Laney cab came up in a Cash Converters for Â£15, with a HH speaker in there. Methinks it dates back to the '80s, same as my bass head. Couldn't leave without it, so didn't.
Sounds nice enough, anyway, though I did have to throw a couple of resistors in there to get the impedance out the gutter for this little amp.

The valves are a pair of 12ax7 for the pre-amp and phase splitter, and a 12au7 for the push-pull output stage.
The output transformer is also teeny-tiny, so very easy to get the saturated valve sound at fairly low volumes.

If money allows, I might start playing around with different brands/types (maybe a lower-gain 12at7) of valve to play with the sound further.

I changed Pearl's springs t'other day for some of these http://www.rawvintage.com/eng/item_springs.php

What can I say - she sounds better than ever now, and she didn't sound bad before.
I'm a very happy bunny, and it's Â£17.00 well spent
