Very useful thing to have that, if I didnt already have two 350v supplies (and a 3kv one thanks Dave) I would jump at that. What I need now is a 700 odd volt supply.

Anyway, its vaguely connected, I cracked under the strain of passing the age of mid life crises, and not being able to afford a harley, I did the next best thing and just bought myself one of these for my encroaching birthday:-) http://www.fender.com/themes/products/images/prod_images/guitars/014470...

This is a picture of a guitarist for reference...
I thought Roy Wood was more often a sax player.
For reference, here's a picture of a bassist.

Nick, 100W into a full stack is incredibly loud. Very few people use anywhere near that amount of power.

How can I lower the gain on my incontinence ? Would inserting a motor run cap help ?
