I think for that little extra bite he stomps on a HBE Germania Treble Booster.

(does that work?)
if you see him stepping off and stomping on a wee purple box that is not the Bradshaw box, it’s this – I think
I may be wrong! But he does use one anyways.
ta!I went to school with two brothers. Andrew and Peter Nurse. A Nurse and P Nurse. Say it out loud. Their mother was also a Nurse. Nurse Nurse. Honestly…
Also went to school with a kid called Guarrin Tees. Say it out loud again. What were his Mum and Dad thinking…..
I wish I was making this up. I’m really not……
9.15 was time on running order
but they came on about 9.25
off stage 10.30ish.
Good hour + show.
Get there early to catch Lou’s setThe Mean Fiddler IS an odd venue indeed.
Aside from the weird raised floor downstairs which does restrict ones view – one side of the upstairs balcony is indeed behind plexi glass (the left hand side) – but the right hand side is not covered at all…. But but but – its almost impossible to see anything if it’s packed (which it’s gonna be:) and you’re not leaning over the balcony. Get there early and as far to the right on this side/grab a stool and you will have a great view. One of my favourite gigs of the last few years was the QOTSA show with Grohl on tubs. We were upstairs on the right – nice seats. LovelyAlso saw the Mascis/Watt/Stooges show there – with Lou coming on and singing!Watched that from behin the plexi glass! Ah happy memories….and can I say that the single of the year is by a band called Fields with a track called ‘If You Fail We All Fail’ and it’s out on the 20th Nov ta
I gave The Greatest a listen again yesterday and whilst it has a few storming tunes I kinda think that You Are Free is a much better album…. I dunno… Cat Power is great n’all but The Greatest seems a little empty compared to YAF, like some of the songs are sketches as opposed to being fully realised. The whole Memphis/Ardent thing as well – not knocking the folks chops or anything and maybe it’s testament to their abilities that they don’t go and play all over the record (and really ruin it) but I think that side of it just added to the ‘story’ and maybe fuelled the record company PR machine. I don’t think it really brings much to her as an…. ‘artist’. But hey! I still dig this record so I should shut up right?
Not a classic year in the grand scheme of things (imo) – but in the "Underground" I think its been a stormer with some of the "Old Guard" showing the "Young Pups" how it’s done!!:) Enough with the "inverted commas" – sorry!

Thats cool! Is this old news? Sorry – always worried I’m repeating something someone else has already posted…thanks guys – but what does ‘running it straight through the amp’ mean?
Ok ok. My wee Fender valve amp has one input.
So say I have a lead running out of that straight into this HB Treble Booster… then what?
I can see that it boosts the signal and add that extra "HELLO" to leads etc.
But – how does one rig it up?
They’re not too expensive (in the grand scheme of things) and my local guitar emporium has ’em in stock.
I want to overdrive my amp but I don’t think I have the right Muff and sadly I think my Superfuzz is giving up the ghost. It’s gone all……farty! Frankly I’m having a more fun with a real cheap DOD Overdrive at present…. but I do want something to take it over the edge and I’m not sure the Metal Muff (even though Js demo on the EH site is amazing) is what I want at the end of the day.
The choices seem to be – search out one of these lovely old Big Muffs, invest in another Superfuzz, save up for a Fulltone or Lovetone or…. I don’t know!
Get a bigger amp?Can someone explain to me (sorry for my lack of guitar tech knowledge) what the Home Brew Electronics Germania treble booster does in Js set up and why these pedals need to be ‘run through the input of a tube amp’ – not put through an effects loop. I’m kinda lost as to what that all means!
He keeps it separate to his rig and doesn’t run it through the Bradshaw.
I mean I realise what a treble booster means – but but but but…. how does one run this through the input of an amp? I realise this may be the simplest thing in the world!!
I have a single input Fender Blues Junior Valve job. Use a Fender Jazz. Couple of Big Muffs, failing Univox Superfuzz, bunch of other EH stuff…..
cheers!Yes the number you have on your copy of the vinyl will be on all the copies that used that particular lacquer – which unless the vinyl is re-cut (which almost never happens) will be all of them.
Damont are a vinyl manufacturer.
Run out groove messages are etched onto the lacquers when they are made/cut.
Usually by whoever is doing the cut.
The lacquers are what vinyl is pressed from.
