If the 5E3 hasn't sold you should bring it along!
Not a bad idea - get a real guitar played through it to see what it can really do!

One of his LP Junior double cuts, that’s assuming I have the money when it’s ready for sale!

Edit: that’s also assuming I don’t get caught up
In the bidding on this Matchless clone, looks like the sort of project I’d like to do.

I asked a guy named Blake from Fan Tail audio if he would be interested in coming, he repairs pedals and is hoping to make it more of a business going forward so could be handy to know someone local for this sort of thing.
Yes. I'll be there; thanks Reg.
Yep, i’m in. Might have a mate Ian coming along too. I have an old MXR eq, with no switch, maybe something Blake could take a look at and see if a switch can be added..i see the new ones have switches…
For sure. It will depend on how much room inside is taken up by the circuit board. Post an image if you can.
I'll be there. And would be keen to get advice from Blake (or anyone else) as to why my homemade fuzz pedal hums rather loudly. (Aside from the obvious of it being my 2nd ever pedal and has some rather dodgy vero-board soldering... :lol: )
Happy to help. What circuit is your fuzz based on?

I was intending to be there but I’ve got a gig that night - next time, and I’ll bring some guitars with my pickups in. Have fun.
