  • CList fibs

    So I wanted to get another Peavey Triple X off Craigslist to replace the (very cheap) dead one I got years ago in Portland OR and sold before moving.

    Guy agreed to meet me in Whole Foods parking lot near Mill Valley SF ($$$!)
    He drove up in a 2020 Cadillac Escalade, had a perfect ponytail and was wearing hand stitched Italian loafers...
    He swore head worked great and it was very clean, no foot switch which he said cost $25 (BS), but I paid him $350 anyway

    LSS
    bad SGRs burned tubes in PA and preamp, at least no cratered boards but what a douche bag.

    Got to get some more WW 1k Ohm / 5W resistors from Mouser,
    at least Peavey used 700 Ohms on JSX... why oh why did they stick with 100 ohm SGRs for so many years??

      hey its ok! My average purchase price for my 2 Triple XXX of Clist is $225, so life evens out!

      I'm almost done with all my fixes/mods and silly cap upgrades (went with the max cap again...)
      And I'm in a secluded barn now, not a stacked apartment, so once fixed I'll be able to "Let her rip!"*
