Long enough to become a vegetarian...

Makes me think of:

Similar riff, and the same message . . .

Here are some photos and a little data I collected for a similar project I have not started yet. These might help you.

Right now, I just run the thing open, with no enclosure. The effect comes off very well on the fast speed, but almost not at all on the slow speed.

Yep. I think facilitating the time to explore and figure things out is the best opportunity a parent can sometimes provide for their children. Not everybody moves in a straight line or on a fixed schedule that is the same as everyone else's. In this economy, a year or two or three gaining some self ...

Thanks. Glad I'm starting with something that should be easy to get right.

I'm planning on adding one of these to a Tweed Pro clone. My first "amp mod". I want to install it in the unused ground switch location on the chassis. That puts it half a chassis-length away from the OT and the output jacks so I have to run a few inches of wire back and forth. It'll be a 2, 4 and 8...

I just bought a partial Leslie assembly off eBay - 2-speed motor, drum assembly, and a 10" speaker - all mounted up and ready to go into a cabinet. I plan on building a cabinet around it. When folks use a Leslie with a guitar, is it the only speaker, or do they generally use it together with another...

A novice's question... Wouldn't you want to mic one of the ports also? And mix it with the driver mic?
