Sorry to hear about that bill rising its ugly head again. Its not easy for small businesses in the UK at the moment.
No - it's like every which way I turn there is more money to pay out lately and less and less of it coming in.
The bill didn't go away - it was the result of two years of estimated bills and me missing that they had increased my charges fourfold, which was only realised when the up to date readings went in.
I have renegotiated it a bit but need to raise some money to pay it off.
fwiw, £950.00 for that amp is a really good price - I'd be pricing them closer to £1400 for a new build.
It does sound great at bedroom volumes too, but cranked up is where its best (all amps are that way). Drop in on Jonathan and have a try of it at low volume - you'll be surprised.
I find that the tone does make a significant jump when you get loud enough to get ythe speaker going
the amp is best suited to a small studio or an environment where you get let rip a little rather than hoping to play at midnight without waking the neighbours or kids.
The master volume which is a bit different doesn't really go from whisper quiet to full roar (it's based on the "Jose" master volume mod). I did think about putting one of these in the FX loop (which is post master volume) for really lowering the volume for late night playing
With it switched "off" the control will reset your rhythm volume to whatever lower value you choose
