Great way to spend an afternoon all. Anyone reading this and wondering whether to actually come to one of these then the answer is YES - it's great fun and very relaxed. Nobody cares about bum notes. We had a lot of fun.

Bum notes are what make it real.

Good to see the Major again too - and the nice extra bits of kit that he brought to tease us with.

Yes good to meet you Adrian! I hope my guitar playing didn’t put folks off your lovely pedals!!

I forgot to checkout what amps were being played in the main room. What were they? A kemper, katana and ????
@bridgehouse was Helix into FRFR - KSC?
was anyone plugged into the PA?

Helix into a QSC k10.2 - mostly the Ampeg SVT model and the GK800 model.

Yes, I had no idea the QSC was that loud..

My Fender Hot Rod Deluxe (with a Line6 M13 in front of it) - complete with a Tamer from @Danny1969 so that it didn’t drown everyone out.

And at one point we had the Sansamp Flyrig 5 going too.

That Sansamp was brilliant. I now have to go and buy the bass version. Bastard!

Kudos to @Pablo for popping his cherry on a pretty hard song (!) 

I tried! Thanks to @impmann for actually playing Basket Case while I filled in. Thanks to @mrkb for sorting everythng out. I need to have serious think about what to play next time. Something a bit more acheiveable for my “talents”.

To anyone thinking of coming in the future, I can’t recommend it enough. Everyone is friendly, welcoming and forgiving : )

Also, bit disappointed my QSC 10.2 was a bit quiet. 



Er...

I know! It only shook the room we were in, not the one next door. Weak

If I'd have turned it up full it would have shook Kettering

I don't know. It could potentially have caused almost a £'s worth of damage

I was into the pa at one point. Sounded fine. 
Thanks everyone by the way. Especially @mrkb for the organisation. It was good fun and nice to meet people again.
Since then I've had a stressful few hours with broken Internet and problems to deal with at work. Thank god for mobile data!
