    I just tested it:

    bpm range: 20 bpm (3 seconds between each click) to almost audio frequency

    sounds:
    nice electronic bass drum (tone switch to the left) or click with hard attack

    I bought a triple Peep from Devi last year (or the year before?), but it didn’t work with the pedals I had then, I should try again with some new pedals…

    It would be interesting if there was a list that said what kind of cable could be used for which effect…

    Probably because of the space, ” ” should work ;)

    But I knew this one already, Ron had a picture of an LPB-1 by Marveltone :)

    Edit: % 20 is replaced by ” ” on the forum, so it doesn’t work…

    Yeah, I’ll get you a pic. Also found a RonSound Bluesfrenzy pic.

    I have some catalogs w/ Wabash Big Muffs, but not Electra. Maybe they only did Small Stones for Electra.

    Hey Ron,

    Can you think about the Marveltone booster and Bluesfrenzy pictures?

    Wow, nice one :)

    I love oldtimers, but it’s probably a bit too expensive to own one, so I’ll just collect pedals for now ;)

    You could also think about Ferrari, Porsche, Bugatti,… ;)

    But I always loved the retro look of those Trabants :D

    When I went to Hungary in 1990 with my parents, you still saw them everywhere (and trains full of Russian tanks going back to Russia). I went to several auto parts shops there to find a Trabant logo, but I didn’t find one (my father found a very good (solid!) and cheap pump for car tires.

    When I think about American cars…

    Not really of course ;)

    I remember a huge discussion on IRC (about 10 years ago) with an American guy who said the car was an American invention by Henry Ford :D

    There was even a Hydrogen-powered car made by a Belgian guy in 1863 (the year Henri Ford was born): the Hippomobile (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hippomobile)

    Plus the market for tubes is much smaller, so a lot of companies just went bankrupt and machines were sold.

    Even if it was economically interesting to bring the production of a certain brand/plant to the US, it would be very difficult to find people who have the right skills/experience to do it. The people in the Sovtek factory did this for years.

    It’s not like bringing back an outsourced job (like all those IT jobs), it always was a Russian factory.

    There’s probably more future for the Western economy in innovation than in making tubes again. A big part of the trouble for US car makers is that they didn’t innovate enough. A few years ago someone who did some repairs for me (synths, effects) bought an AMC AMX from 1969. He said it was cheap to find parts: a lot of parts (like the motor block) were still made and used in American cars that are still in production, while that AMX is 40 years old!

    Other countries also made smaller and “greener” cars for a long time already, not just for the environment, also because fuel costs more in other countries (taxes), so it’s important for buyers (like it probably is for American buyers now).

    Time for Photoshop! :D

    Good to hear it’s finally solved, I thought it already stopped… This must have caused a lot of stress, I suppose there will be a big party at EH now :D

    There isn’t a whole lot of difference, it’s just a page seems more professional and official. I think the main difference is that pages can post notes that fans see by default but can disable, and in groups- admins can send messages to all members.

    My understanding is that when you send a message to the “fans” of a “page” they wind up in the “updates” tab within your inbox — whereas messages sent to “members” of “group” wind up in the regular inbox.

    Yes, but I don’t like those group messages mixed with my personal messages and with the updates you can see a list of the old updates from a certain page…

    I have a page and I can add “favorite pages” to my page, but no links to groups (I added all related pages I could find: all 9 ;))

    Btw, everyone is very welcome to become a fan here:
