I have quite a few used Nva amp boards I’ve collected over time for spares repair and general experience/ experimentation. I’ve successfully restored a pair with no blue smoke when connected to the psu- when connecting music I have a distortion in one channel only- there is music but with distortio...

Paul Forgive me but something doesn't add up. The national living wage is £11.44 per hour. If it takes 100, hours to make them, then the labour cost is at least £1144.00. Given a 2m set costs £600,00 per side, that leave £56.00 for materials and overheads. Am I missing something? Yes, Paul said 10 ...

There is a place of judiciously applied compression, female vocals can benefit where a singer tends to drop the volume in some passages, trained singers are less prone to this so don't need compression.

Such a wonderful illustration of government thinking. Completely misses the point that he also reduced employment to zero too.

I've got 5 pedals - of which 3 are echo/loopers. Probably explains why I constantly repeat myself repeat myself. You're not repeating yourself enough to get a Top 10 Hit. :grin: And your words are making too much sense. :idea: Nah! There are only two compressors, nothing like enough for "moder...
