That old barracuda I operated for Tradition was very scratchy on all its pots. Really needed a service! In the dance I had to be well careful and had to gently flick each knob to get it to settle. Used my first home built siren for that too, sounded like a (Ja) Channel One effect

But that is Errol, obviously someone else. He comes at 26:19


Was watching that clip only a couple of days ago. Wish there was more on the art of operating

Yes, I'm currently using two transistor amps built by Mr Errol
but I can't wait to try the valve amp (with 24 KT88s on it).

Actually, I'd like to get a thread going around operating the pre amp. I feel really operating is becoming a lost art. Put me right if I am wrong..
