Re: PSA - Dangerous YouTube Videos

Be careful around YouTube videos, CSGuitars recently me into modding pedals. I've already scorched one circuit board already and I've only been at it for a week.

The typo in your post reminds me of a post that bounced around the forum for a long. I'm not sure who the author was or exactly how the post was worded, but it was something like "I the whole merlot".

I think it was the young man, now a father of two, who may be John Mayer's #1 fan.

Good times - thanks for chiming in! By the way, the most important thing to remember about making a mistake like frying a board is that you need to buy something new. Maybe that board would still have life if you'd had a better soldering iron or some jeweler's glasses.

Yeah, I couldn't find my fine tip for the iron, so I thought I would do a-ok with one of the larger ones. I figured, "eh, they've been telling me size doesn't matter for my whole life, why should it start now?"

Needless to say, it did matter and those people are lying to you.

Why is everything that gives me almost unbearable G.A.S. so darned expensive?

Think of it like this: Suppose Ford brings back the Pinto, and Ferrari brings back the Daytona. Which one will be more expensive, and which one would you be more likely to want to own? ;)

P.S. And both of those amps were sweet.

This is the one that's been giving me gas lately. But, with the king of music I play I could never justify the $2000 price tag. Sounds aweome though

Ouch. That can get expensive, quick. I didn't have more than a couple hours playing time through a Soul Bender before I pulled the transistors and installed sockets. But, I do own a de-soldering station. Not cheap but makes life much easier.

Yeah, those Tungstens sound great and (Greg V doesn't hurt!), but I don't need a 5E3. I have super nice Mission kit to cover that tone zone. The whole Carr line blows my mind. I'm not normally an EL84 guy, but the sound clips of his Lincoln are very inspiring!

I played that Louis Electric amp in Memphis last June when I was checking out the Soldano HR 25 that I ended up with.

I was doing well with my amp GAS until I saw this video: https://youtu.be/Sm4ZNl5-qIU
