speaking of which, my car is in the garage right now-- they haven't a clue how to fix it cos thre are no electronics

light a fire under the engine. i've seen mates do that loads of times with engines that hadnt run for a while to get them to work, so long as its one of these type things:

pfft!

here, I never got thet VHS tape back off you

Did ya not?that was back in me gargle days..I prolly tried smoking it

I'll get it when I'm over in the gaf later man

 

[therealjohnny]

no worries Gaz!

ann post- it's a fuel filter issue-- they're about a tenner on ebay

I'm tempted to try replacing it myself but it'd probably end in disaster

 

[ann post]

I've a mate in derry who occasionally runs a vintage car, he always said that minis were the easiest in the world to fix yourself. I'd say get the haynes manual and suss it out.

what about reverbses.

 

[therealjohnny]

I have it-and I do the odd easy fix but I'm pretty hopeless at that kind of thing

anyway...about the reverbs'

 

[ann post]

about reverbs - has anyone here actually got a reverb pedal??? i get curious about them from time to time. i am aware every amp on earth has reverb... just curious.

I fancy getting a reverb pedal myself..as Moose pointed out to me the other night when we were talking about overdrive..the sound offa pedal is gonna be way better than that of an amps overdrive because the pedal is totally all about doing that one thing..ergo..a reverb pedal must be better that on board reverb..I think that makes sense

 

[ann post]

possibly - i have an old peavey solid state that is awful but i've written on it for years - the problem for me now is that the reverb on that amp seems to go on after everything, or at least its the last switch before output, which is sort of what i want - none of these new little valve heads seem to have to have that configuration.

i.e.

guitar -> overdrive -> reverb -> speaker ≥ epic

rather than

guitar -> reverb - > overdrive -> speaker ≤ epic

Reverb defo has to come post overdrive....I think a lot of the cheap tube heads have an effects return send on them though..which is basically jackpot no?

Thats what I'm thinking anyway

none of the tiny ones seem to have that. maybe theres an ebay mod for that?? does yours, or is yours a combo?

Mines a combo and it dosent have one now you mentch....

Better make sure the bigger one i'm getting does...http://www.thomann.de/ie/vht_lead_20_combo_avgt120.htm

Do you reckon 20 watts is enough to gig with(slaved into a 4x12)..Moose reckons yah

I want to get the combo cos it'll be more versatile innit

had a holy grail for 2years. cheapish and nice.
bit harsh sometimes but still very useable
ended up selling it since i dont use much verb.

it depends on you resources and what you're after. if you consider that about a 3rd of all overdrives are based on a tube screamer, which is a pedal that is meant to emulate natural tube amp overdrive, you could argure that amp over drives are the grail. nerds with cash tend to run a clean amp and a dirty amp rather then a load of pedals.

i have a holy grail reverb which i ran throught effects loop on my little blackstar. it sounded significantly better then in a line of pedals. might be selling it actually...

i'd imagine it would be plenty loud enough, slaved or not. 20 valve watts is very loud.

i meant the cheaper holy stain.

I have to say i prefer pedal overdive now that I'm a tube head..less noise between the music

a quick search of thumped tells me i asked you this before, and then said i'd buy one.
