    Something cool in the house today: Demeter TGP-3

    Sweet! Glad you found one! That chorus is great. I love #40 which is just a little reverb and also #119 Dark Shadow reverb. there are some good sounds in that unit for sure

    with apologies to the OP for mucking up the thread...I can't PM yet I'm in SE PDX. We should ride sometime.

    Something cool in the house today: Demeter TGP-3

    Thanks for your work out at Klootchie! The last time I rode back in October was out there. I don't remember the names of any of the trails, but there were some steeper ones that kept us on our toes because it was so slick. I haven't been on trails that slick since I raced on the east coast in...

    Something cool in the house today: Demeter TGP-3

    I wonder too. The toroidal transformer in those (I have a 90's TGA-3 too) is just for the power supply. Unless the B+ was changed, I have a hard time believing it would alter the tone drastically. Incidentally, the preamp tubes in the TGP are getting a MUCH lower supply voltage than on my...

    Something cool in the house today: Demeter TGP-3

    I do. It's Vertigo Cycles. Been doing it since 2006 but typically only sell a bike or two locally. Most of them get sent to the east coast or overseas somewhere.

    Schem for TC 0144 Foot Controller

    I figured it out. If this information would be helpful to anyone, please let me know and I'm happy to share.

    Well, Adam Jones still has monster live tone

    I live in Portland and had no idea they were playing here tonight. The last time I saw them live was I think in '94 at Hammerjacks in Baltimore. It's a little fuzzy because I had the flu but I remember Maynard skulking around the stage...he moved like a mosquito

    Schem for TC 0144 Foot Controller

    I recently acquired a 2290 with an 0144 controller and did not realize that the controller has a hardwired Euro plug and takes 220V. It's clear that the transformer was soldered along with the components on the PCB in what was likely a wave solder, but the power leads as well as a jumper wire...

    Something cool in the house today: Demeter TGP-3

    I went through the same thing for about a year. It's important to keep in mind that it's just James and another guy who does most of the building. From what he told me, his builder is also a government contractor who occasionally has restrictions put in place that prevents him from...

    Identifying Transformer

    I have a preamp that I'm planning on cloning because I want to make mods to it and don't want to devalue it since I'm sure I'll eventually sell it. It also happens that everything is soldered to the underside of the board and it's a major PIA to get to the leads due to the way it's constructed...

    Those of you that build your own guitar/patch cables, please step inside...

    You've already been given a lot of great advice. I like the short barrel Switchcraft plugs for speakers, and since most of my speaker cable runs are 10" or less in my house, I use SJOOW 18AWG cable for them. To easily differentiate them from instrument cables, I use 2" of red heatshrink...

    MTB cycling

    Looks so good! I drove down to Grass Valley a couple of months ago to pick up a TremOVerb and had low expectations but took all my camping and riding gear with me with the hopes of riding somewhere on the way back up to Portland. Unfortunately, everything south of Eugene was super smoky or on...

    MTB cycling

    Looks rad! What region do you live in? Looks like the Sierra's. "Close in" trails near Portland are pretty limited in tech lines and I truly miss that stuff.

    MTB cycling

    Thank you. Hardtails are great, but so is everything else. Truth be told, I started racing DH oriented events a few years ago mostly because I grew up in the mid-Atlantic, and while I'd say I got pretty good with the really slow, hard technical riding, I never got comfortable going down hill...

    MTB cycling

    Long time mountain biker here. I think I started in '88 or '89. Used to race XC and 24hr races in the 90's, got into trials competitions in the late '90's and have been the sole proprietor of Vertigo Cycles since 2006 where I design and fabricate custom titanium bikes. Out here in OR, we've...
