Look at the Black Vue. It's tiny, programmable and fairly inexpensive.

GPS logging is an option.

Unfortunately the school only has a Red Scarlet. And that's off-limits to me.

Anyone here have any experience in converting a vintage tube amplifier from 2 prong to 3 prong and removing yea olde death cap?

I've come into possession of a beauty of a sound that likes to bite me with her electrical teeth. While I do think that death by amp electrocution in the middle of a Stones cover would be a great way to go, I think I want to get some more playing out of the amp first before that day.

No, gradmom is not ready to part with her Fender Twin Reverb, circa 1965ish. I think I will need to wait for her will to get my grubby hands on that.

Instead, I got the Gibson Ranger GA-20T, circa 1963ish, which the family never knew she had in the back of her closet all these years. For some wonderful reason, she was willing to give that to me.

You probably want to replace all the electrolytic caps as well. Might be worth taking to an amp guy out there. Jim Walton?

[/quote]Google-fu sez take it to a qualified tech to do it. Too many variables that can end up either damaging you or your amp if you don't do it right.

Just got my first stomp box, and already I want to change the capacitors out.

I made a new thread in Gadgets to track this.

So now i know how that works, but I've never known why manuals are actually better other than people vaguely saying they give more control over the vehicle.
