Wow! How cool is that. I've never seen a Holden in the States. Monaro's look great.

There were a couple around Vandenberg when I was in high school. Air Force guys stationed in Oz, Alice Springs?, brought them over. We also had some British Cortinas and some right hand drive Japanese cars. One kid had the guts to drive a Subaru 360 to school. The running gag was it would be lifted and turned sideways, stuck between two cars in the student lot. Kids can be cruel.

Sweet Torrie!
That was a pretty popular colour way back then. Not sure if it is Barbados Green or Jamaican Lime?
Edit: might be Mint Julep

(Sometimes the names changed more than the colours - about 6 years earlier there was another called Lina Mint)

My fun for the evening.
First off test driving this little tons of tone in a box.
Damn if it isn’t what I was looking for.

Then will start listening to a DVD that I just received from @GonePlaid.

Good times.

How are you liking the Super 40? I love the SC-40, very glad to have the two racked up, though still haven't managed to get one of them fully working. Just bought the Viva Analog 360+ kit, and am going to build that to accompany the SC-40s in my rack.

I’ve wondered about that Viva kit. I’ve been waiting for the rack mount DiCosimo 360 that he has promised for about a year now.

Love the Super 40.

I bet the Analog 360+ will go great with the SC-40.

Yeah, I remember seeing his post on FB about that, but nothing more has come of it. Plus, I like building things, so figure I'd adapt the pedal into a rack version myself. Viva Analog has a forum with suggested mods, but it seems to be down currently, hopefully it will be back up soon. I'd like to add the DI out incorporated in the Dicosimo version to fine

That's what I was thinking, could use the 360+ on the neck pickup of the 4001 and the Ashly on the bridge, as I love the depth but tightness on my 360. I also looked at building the Lab L4 pre that Aion FX has as a rack version, given @PhR75 has talked up the Lab series a lot.

The nature of things...

TSC played a noon-to-2:00 outside gig at a big Farmers Market on the avenues in the Sunset district of SF earlier today. It was sunny/warm in the Mission where I live and the same in Oakland where Kirstin lives, but being relatively close to the ocean, it was foggy and chilly in the Sunset. Not terribly so, but just not warm and sunny. We found out two days ago we would have to provide our own PA mixer. Ok... I visited Guitar Center yesterday and bought a 4 mic mixer on sale. I didn't own one and I didn't want Paul to disrupt our rehearsal-space set-up so I felt it was something I should do. Our drummer Phil has played there in the past and back then it was a more 'pro'-set up with everything provided PA-wise. (it's a civic thing so funding must have been cut) Now - one monitor for all vocals... and then - my amp didn't want to make sound. No clue as everything was as it should be. So... I plugged into my new mixer to the one PA speaker. Being an outdoor, low-key/low volume presentation - ATC it actually sounded good. We could hear each other, the vocals were on top and our audience was in approval. We powered through both sets back-to-back and finished on time. Mission : Accomplished.

I got home, unloaded the Element and tested my amp - worked perfectly as it should. Who knows...

I’ve enjoyed some of @GonePlaid ‘s various band members that he posted on the SB/ EB forum. Those dudes can play!

Thanks. That's the current band(Driftwoods). The DVDs I sent Jeff are from 1982 VHS tapes of the band I was in at that time in a Miami Beach hotel lounge. Very versatile band that had to be able to please everyone from 18-80 with, obviously, music from that era.
I'm working on posting ~3 kinda 'fuzzy' videos(best we could get)from those DVDs. Most of our songs were 6+minutes long to keep people dancing.
