Re: New amp day

WOW! $24 is the used price for a horrible Fender Frontman 10G. Have always liked the Cube 15, it doesn't sound nearly as small and harsh as other amps in that 15W/1x8" configuration. The COSM dirts cover a LOT of ground! Agree it is a quite servicable amp! This one is early - no COSM, all done with...

Ah, nice! This is the very first Cube series, right? These were very innovative back then. I really liked the Cube-15. It's a perfect bedroom amp.
Looks like January 2004 from the serial. For a 20 year old amp, the condition is, almost literally, unbelievable.

New amp day

Picked this up yesterday at the local thrift store for USD$24. Absolutely unmarked, still with front label. Works perfectly.

This will be my new workshop amp.

Re: NPD EQ-200

I've had GE-7, GE-7B, GE-6, MXR 10 band EQ, Boss GE-10, and a Chinese (Caline) 10 band EQ that is a similar to the MXR 10 band EQ.

The EQ-200 "eats them all for breakfast". Tone/sound quality and flexibility. So much so, I'm on the lookout for another one.

Re: NPD EQ-200

HNPD, Laurie! What made you opt for the EQ-200 over a GE-7? Was it the greater tweakability with the 10 band EQ, extra functionality (presets, midi control etc), something else? 10 band and presets. I have an EHX B9 that likes a specific EQ curve and level to work properly, and those settings don't...

NPD EQ-200

Bought an EQ-200 today. Was hoping it would be "good". It is excellent.

Re: Electrolytic capacitors - a perspective

I've just been through this process again... repairing an Ibanez SDGR bass for someone locally. It came to me with "no sound". The SDGR has active electronics - well, kinda. The tone controls are passive and the opamp is used to buffer the pickups and drive the output. The issue was the 10uF output ...
