I've noticed that the "on light" seems somewhat sensetive to the AC power source. It does not light up at all in my apartment (the second floor of a house), but when I have played out, it lights up like a champ.

I've not had this problem. My old Fenders used to flicker and blink under use. It might be worth;

1) removing the bulb, re-installing it to make sure it's making good contact.
2) checking the voltage in the places you're having trouble.

Not much in a bulb and socket. Might be loose in the socket.

Luke, good to see another philosopher among the gang. :D

Big Bamboo was one of the albums (vinyl) that Marsha had when I met her that told me right away she was the lady for me.

Hope you got this sorted out. This has to do with the fact that the bottom connection on these #47 bulbs is a bit of lead, and lead oxidizes over time. Easy to fix though. Moving it or taking it out and sanding the bit of lead very lightly heals the beast.

Hi Jule,

I have not tried to fix it. It seems to only be a problem when plugged in at home. If I have some time, I will pop the hood and try that. But it is not a high priority. Thank you for the explanation and suggested fix.

Thanks man! The live studio version of that track is available on iTunes and Amazon Music if you're interested, or you can find it here:

You've gotta love getting tone this good straight out of a DI with literally zero post processing...the engineers I work with, both live and in the studio, have never been happier :D

Good stuff. Nice playing.

Okay, I missed it the first couple of times I looked, but then saw it -- hope you don't mind me copying and posting the signal-chain here:

@dingwallguitars SJ3X > @origineffects Cali76 > @fairfieldcircuitry Barbershop > @darkglasselectronics Alpha•Omega > @tech21nyc Bass Driver > @darkglasselectronics Vintage Ultra > @dsmnoisemaker OmniCabSim > @jule_amps Monique > Cubase - no post processing of any kind
​
You made some interesting comments on gain-staging with the pedals, too. I rarely play with pedals -- I confess to being pretty green where they're concerned -- and, when I have, it's usually been more as an effect, but they seem to be an integral (and well-implemented) part of your tone.
