I have resigned. hung up my GAS KING crown.

It's a perfect storm for me. I have a lot of gear. A wide range of gear.....that I could play just about any style of music (not that I can), not to mention bass gear too.

What else is there to get? the latest and greatest? not interested, never was.

I do like weird, or unknown gear, but that shit is so expensive these days. No deals left.

Plus HC is shit, and I hate TGP. where else is there to sell? CL and eBay. fuck that. annoying.



That said, if I came upon a nice piece of gear at a rummage sale for $80.........I'm sure I'd still hit that. I'm still smart enough to know a steal when I see it.

a steal is the only way I'd buy another stringed instrument, amp or cab.

Seriously. They use so little power the batteries last a LONG time.



Not that josh will own the amp that long but at least the new owner will see the benefit.

you need a resistor on each LED. if they share one, the brightness will change when both are on at the same time...could even send them both into cutoff.

I'll only be doing half of that footswitch. I only need channel ON/OFF. That should still work, right?

Instead of a new switch, I just rewired my dual channel switch.

Works great, but I don't have an LED.

I'll give it a try at practice, but I'd really like an LED.

You can't tell the difference? :D



Though to be fair, I do prefer the led myself but I do not require it. I switch channels on my jubilee with a plain black generic footswitch with no led. It's pretty obvious what's going down. :cop:

Well, with the unpowered footswitch. No led it work as it should.

Somehow, the power needed to illuminate the led fucks with the AOR.
If the switch has an LED powered by the amp, it doesn't work properly.


It'll work for now, but I have a boss fs5l on the way. Fuck it. :)

The issue is that if the AOR has to power the LED from the footswitch jack, the channel doesn't change.

I had a footswitch with led, and the channels would not change.
