Or don't..

Missold, shirley?

I was reading somewhere those thing are worth a bomb these days! Fuck knows why the DF-02 were a much better pedal.

I, this is where my knowledge let's me down, the actual measurements, what is the actual difference between instrument and line level? it's not much is it? As a kid before I could afford an amp I remember using the mic input on a boom box!

Probably best example is Blastronaut's overdrive that we all know - compare the volume with that on and off, off you are at line level, on (obviously depending on how you have it set but with everything at 100%) it is pushing the signal level to above line, hence why you get a rise in volume without changing anything on the amp. So in effect it is working as a preamp, albeit lower powered version.

No, line level is what a passive pickup guitar provides already, it's the preamp that boosts it, hence why running the Helix into the input, you are getting a preamp going into another preamp, which has more chance of blowing the physical preamp stage. But it's also pretty difficult to fuck solid state amp those things are like Russian spaceflight shite, unless you pour water on it.

Yeah so that's just a solid state powered speaker that would run off line level input.

No, you are right, it's purely the speaker box sound, as stated above. So if you are picking say an AC30, then that is the pre and power and amp (this would be the head in a physical amp), then if you match it to say to 2 x 12" Celestion speaker box, you would be creating a digital version of an AC30 combo amp. But none of these have the physical output to drive an actual speaker box. Probably the most basic way to explain it all. A turntable > phono stage = line level A passive pickup guitar/mic/cd player = line level Active pickups = above line level, not pre amp level Guitar passive pickups <provides power for/signal back > Preamp level > power amp = driving speakers Does that make sense?

I forgot to mention, those cabinet models are also for live performers who no long use individual amps but all plug in to the PA. I remember reading about Low totally ditching amps and through a gig, they would use different cabinet model plugins for different songs, allowing them not to be locked into a single amp sound.

Not Blastronaut or Andrew but I can answer this, you still need a power amp to power the speaker cabinet, so by going in the effects loop, it bypasses the preamp. The head or a combo amp are actually what is called an intergrated amp, so signal>preamp>power amp>speaker. At one stage in the 80s bass players started just buying preamps to tour with because as you can imagine a bass rig is huge and pain in the balls to lug around but their sound was formed with the preamp. edit: After a quick look at the Helix site, the helix cabinet model is just a speaker soundalike plug in for recording direct, so no it wouldn't have any bearing upon playing live with a speaker cabinet.

More likely we lose our best players who want to play in Europe and we struggle to get in players with aspirations to play at that level. So we end up with Phillip Billings and the like and those that keep harping on about upgrading Miggy will get even more chance. Footballers careers are short and the good players don't have a lot of patience.

They shouldn't bother with a midfield, just keeper>launch>hope some fucker gets their arse on it>goal

FYP to make it right, aye mate?

Win the FA Cup and doesn't matter where we finish, a trophy at long last and another European adventure albeit in the Europa league, which is probably the best we can get anyway with a league position.

He would have played the Waughs considering his age and where he grew up.

Edit, realise you knew all this and was totally whooshed but here's what i wrote for others like Gemmill who didn't know: I wasn't joking, CV was born in Italy but raised in 'stralia mate. His old man was manager of Marconi, an Australian national league team with Italian association, so from aged 4 to 15 he lived and was schooled in the west of Sydney. The family migrated back Italy when CV was signed by AC Santa Luca. His shite younger brother, Max (Massimiliano) who was born here, played for 'stralia, as he was never going to make the Italian team. And CV owns heaps of property around Sydney. BTW Viduka has gone the same way but now speaks English with a Croatian accent.

Take away that hole in front of the backline and once our sweeper keeper is back in the team, BDB isn't as much of a problem. Have a look at where most of the balls come from that give him problems and allow pacey wingers to target him? They don't come down the line/over his head, as he can usually intercept those, they come from the space between our midfield and defence and they are hit in behind so his height advantage is lost. Control that space and you start to control the problem.

You can't have Vieri, he's Australian! 😉 Considering how bad Del Piero's injuries were, a bit like Shearer, the fact he still went on to play so many games and score so many goals is incredible.

The 1970 runners-up and 1982 WC Champions enter the chat.

@Howmanheyman Ciaomanheyman, thoughts on this bullshite?

Bastard! Where's Del Piero on that list? Wasn't Maldini a LCB and not a LB for most of his career?

Easter Sunday, he's holed up until then!

FFS Rob, you just had too, didn't you?

Or Wilson's wood, which ever they get to first.
