Ah fuck my bad. Sorry Gemmill. Is Andrew getting mates rates for Victory gear then? Insane setup.
-
I'm not taking a dig a Gemmill or anyone else with a Kraken (I honestly think they're pretty cool bits of kit) but at 300 quid for a preamp that takes up half a pedalboard and needs it's own power supply I'd sooner just buy another amp. Mad world were living in where you can sell folk "boutique" analogue gear with 60 year old tech to stick in front of a digital modelling amp like.

Most interesting thing about it is that it's shone a huge spotlight on the shady and corrupt dealings of these hedge fund managers. I'm financially illeterate myself but have two close family (one a retired highstreet bank auditor and another with a masters degree in finance) who are both convinced this whole thing proves these billionaires have been counterfeiting shares. Fuck knows, something about these retail investors (the redditors, for the most part) almost owning 180% of Gamestop at one point while the brokers are all scrambling about to find the "borrowed" shares that the hedge fund cunts were trying to short.

I'm pretty sure I'm running the same as you, the nordell one that's just a Caline with a different badge. Never done me wrong. But yeah it couldn't handle the Kraken. 800mA is crazy compared to most old school analogue pedals (maybe 10 to 30mA?). Don't quote me on this but I'd assume they have a charge pump in there to step up the voltage to something nearer 24v to get those valves hot which eats up all the current.
-
The Victory one asks for 800mA. (which is fair enough tbh, cold-plating pre-amps valves is a total waste of time. They need enough power to at least get warm.)
-
I might aswell join in since I'm still here. It ain't pretty but cheap, cheerful and sure fuck wasn't a waste of cash. Just wish I had the time to actually play more often.
-
Tbf fair to the lad, I'd also resort to desperate measures if I was broke and stuck in Dingwall. Reminds me of a joke though: what's the difference between a third tier Striker and a KFC bucket? A KFC bucket can feed a family of four.

The best boozers don't even have windows.

For fucks sake. As much as I think we should've restricted international air travel a good 10 months ago its got fuck all do with folk getting their "downstairs landing" addressed. Just have a wank like the rest of us and leave the pilots to their furlough.

You forgot about the PM proudly shaking hands with everyone in the covid ward, Eat out to help out, and the big Christmas uturn from "let's forget the virus for a bit and have a five day free for all!" to "eh, pretend we never said that". But I get it, it's near impossible keep up. And we couldn't close the our borders as it would've undermined the Brexit argument. Moral of the story: Never trust a Tory.

"told them at half time to just forget everything I'd ever told them and do whatever the fuck they wanted. Exactly the reaction I was looking for and gives us something to build on"

To fund what? 40 trucks worth of cabbages delivered to Bruce?
-
Dunno like. Bruce is clearly the worse manager (which is an achievement in itself) but Pardew is just an all round terrible human being. Football aside, If they were both crossing the road together and my brakes failed I'd be steering towards Pardew.
-
Dunno what's funnier. "premiership? The premiership is full of arseholes!" or "John, give us me phone back"

"Top Banana" seems more apt. Downward curve n' that. -

I'm no even a Toon fan and I'd quite gladly stack another skip on top. -

At least there will probably be a few goals. I was watching Liverpool Burnley the other day and about half an hour in remembered there was football on. Got up to find the remote before realising I was already watching it. -
Arsenal, innit blud vs Steve’s Absolutely Shite Mags

Surely we can all agree that Smith-Rowe is by far the the second best English player ever to go by the name Emile (which is a decent achievement for his age), Bruce is a thick fuck would've spent that £100million on fried pig and the only reason his stats are even closely comparrible to Rafa's is because the owners are the source of the problem, and Jamie Carragher hasn't had botox he just looks that way after a few years of sucking Gary Nevilles cock every weekend.
