Beyond a critical point within a finite space, freedom diminishes as numbers increase. This is as true of humans as it is of gas molecules in a sealed flask. The human question is not how many can possibly survive within the system, but what kind of existence is possible for those who so survive.

Great work Lawrence !
Tube amp and guitar tones straight from 1958… amazing how believable the sounds were back then, even without the modellers...

Pretty sure there are probably extensions out there that can automatically resize uploaded images. Still, it's another chore for BG to do.

Interesting, will read up on that to see how it compares to Briwax oil I used. Or, perhaps you already did that and decided Crimson was the way to go?
