Jimi I think your house would be a great place to spend a vacation. Bring a tele, an old champ, some good rocking chairs, and lots of those wonderful McDonald's gift certificates everyone receives for Christmas for us to share hot apple pies. and lots of solder

I claim no success here, but I did stumble upon a Japanese kindred spirit with some great photos on his blog.

Re: Wampler SLOstortion [traced]

Has Peavey sued someone? Transtube is patented, but I have not heard of an infringement. and I have to admit I own one little transtube practice amp and it sounds great.

be very careful. I opened one of these up for repair 5 yrs ago and the the wiring inside is incredibly flimsy. I replaced all of it. because most of it broke just from opening the enclosure. and this warning is from an owner of these micro pedals and loves them. The rubber flange is pretty sturdy an...
