I have one, I just have to remember to bring it.

Why bother? It'll just be pegged !

True, mine only goes to 140db

[Dr.HI-TONE]

It would be fun for kicks and grins to see how loud it gets!
Something tells me that last year there were hours on end that didn't get below 140db.

[lambrettaj]

i like the cabinet restore activity. can't wait.
anyone bringing some nos type stuff to trade or barter?

[lambrettaj]

umm, to clarify. tubes, pedals, cables, pu's - tone candy.

Maybe. I threw some old pedals in the van 2 years ago, but most of them didn't work when they got to Indiana .

[Dr.HI-TONE]

I have all sorts of extra "stuff" if there is something you are looking for, just ask.

[lambrettaj]

not anything in particular. i'd like to hear some fuzz pedal examples (specifically this wattson superfuzz i've been hearing about), boost pedal options, delay examples etc.
it's always cool to see how someone achieves unique tones with similar equipment.
anyway, i like the idea of a swap meet.

Clayton,

Should I bring the 2x15 so we have 2 such boxes ready to go?

M.

[Dr.HI-TONE]

MikeB.
Sure! I reloaded mine with 8 ohm speakers just for that reason! Ha ha ha!

How would you like to help with the DR201 comparison?????

Sure, that sounds like fun. I'll also work security.

Mike

[OldSchoolDave]

I'll also work security.

Be afraid! Be VERY afraid !

How many DR201's do we expect to have? Will we beat our 2006 record of 3?

I'll be bringing mine (KT88).

Dave

P.S. Elaborating on Hiwatt Bob's posts, maybe we should add a "Pedal Plugging Derby". See who can (successfully) connect the most pedals in the time it takes Mike B. to down an Old Peculiar (or reasonable facsimile) ?
