Randomly put Them Crooked Vultures on tonight for the first time in a couple years. Still a kickass album.

I'm still shocked more people haven't heard of them.
It's pretty solid stuff.

My board as it is now.

Ooh how's the Fnord?

I got to see them in Seattle. Amazing musicians all around.

Damn I would have loved to go to that. I found out last minute and was fucked. Didn't they play the Paramount?

Great. Very versatile. The octaver effect is rad and has been spawning riff ideas and shit like crazy. Can also do super thick fuzz as well which is really cool. Not as much volume on tap as the Badascan and UD but it does the job well for sure.

They did play the Paramount. Such a classic venue. Going to see Soundgarden there in a couple of weeks.

You guys can revoke my doom room card at any time.

At some point, I'll probably get up with Mark about a Badascan. But I've got too much dirt as it is, and don't have the $ to keep pedals that aren't on the board. Sigh.

Also, I need some tech help (mostly looking at Nick, but any/all are welcome to chime in):

I bought a Laney Cub 10 a month or two back. Haven't gotten to use it for more than a few minutes until tonight, and it's doing something weird. After 20/25 minutes, the volume quickly fades and then it goes off. The jewel light is also flickering the whole time. It's exactly what's described here - http://www.mylespaul.com/forums/squawk- ... ut-me.html

What to do? I figure tubes first, but the discussion there made it sound like it's probably not tubes. The "solution" posted there says

I got the answer

thermal fuse...

And I got the solution ...

a variable tagged TR2 inside... turned it off (fully counter clockwise) and ... BINGO!!! Perfect sound again ... i've been playing loud since i woke up this morning...

But I don't know what that means. Do I open up the actual chassis? I'm comfortable doing so, but just not super experienced with this stuff. Sigh, wish I'd put it through its paces when I got it so I coulda had the option of getting my $$ back.

did a quick search and found this pic, the yellow thingy is the ptc fuse and can be replaced with 5 or 8 amp fuse wire. seems they had a faulty batch of parts at the factory.

EDIT! but wait for nick or someone smurter than me to confirm this and no touchy the batteries looking thingys!
