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.

Re: Christchurch Gearfest 14th August 2021
Yes. I'll be there; thanks Reg.Reg18 wrote: ↑Thu Jul 29, 2021 5:19 pm Fast approaching, how many people are defiantly coming?
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.
For sure. It will depend on how much room inside is taken up by the circuit board. Post an image if you can.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…
Happy to help. What circuit is your fuzz based on?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... )
In the meantime, if you want to know more about me and what I can do, please visit any of the links below:

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.Reg18 wrote: ↑Thu Jul 29, 2021 5:19 pm Fast approaching, how many people are defiantly coming?

Re: Christchurch Gearfest 14th August 2021
I now have a new amp to bring to gearfest as well!
At this rate I might need to get selective about what I bring or hire a roady.
Ceritaone DC 30 clone
Metropolious JTM45
EF86 Vox style combo (10” greenback speaker)
Marshall 4x12
Matt’s Les Paul Gold Top
Jag
Tele
All my pedals (which is a few)
Camera gear to get some good pics.
