    To save me bringing yet another amp/pedalboard etc , just want to check that someone is happy to share. Just need some dirt and a loud pedal in front of a mic . Happy to bring my own but I'm not precious about my tone and it could get a bit busy on stage.

    @Crazed_Fandango ;  - if you could bring a spare mic that would be great. The ones provided last time were hopeless.

    No probs I plan to bring a basic board

    @bobblehat BD2 is great for dirt and I use the Carcosa as a boost if you want to use them. 

    Yes, I'll bring the rest of my mics just in case then.
    Don't let your mind post toastee - like a lot of my friends did!

    Main Entrance from street is A on map - Reception was just inside. Follow pink arrow to room 10. Once side load in is open (Door B.  ) we can load direct from street into room.

    Please beware Reading has spent the weekend in grid lock!  - 

    The M4 and associated slip roads will be closed eastbound between junctions 12 (Theale) and 11 (Reading). The closure will start after 8pm Friday 30 September and the motorway will reopen by 6am on Monday 3 October 2022. Clearly signed diversions will be in place utilising the A4 and A33.
    This is now no longer the case due to football in Reading. 

    The updated statement reads "Closures this weekend (1 October)
    We'll be closing the eastbound stretch between junctions 12 (Theale) and 11 (Reading) from the evening of Saturday 1 October until the morning of Monday 3 October. The closure will start after 10pm on Saturday."

    Question for @Vibetronic and @mrkb - interested to know if you have a Fractal profile installed on your units for the Hamstead 60+RT?

    I’ll confess I’ve never heard of that amp! I think @mrkb is more likely to have it as his unit is much newer but I’ll take a look :)

    Can you see if you've got a JHS BB Blaster 10 in there. It will save me bringing mine  =)

    Fractal doesnt do profiling - they model amps and pedals at a circuit and component level.  Theres 300 amp circuits modelled - all are customisable in many ways by changing tube types, tone stacks, speaker impedance transformer match, etc - so if you know what an amp is based on then the Fractal amp model can be modified to get close.  It doesnt have a model of the Hamstead, but as thats just a amp based on a "british sound" then it could get close using one of the many vox/marshall amps and changing the tonestack type (theres 133 to choose from).

    I don't know what times other folk are likely to arrive tomorrow, but given the number of 50mph limits on the M4 in Wales, I don't expect to arrive before 10:30.

    On the plus side, that means you'll have plenty of time playing around with Fractal presets before then. :)

    I'll try to get there as close to 9am as possible. It's about a 2 hour drive for me.
    It's not a competition.

    I'm going to try and get there early. A friend is having leaving drinks tonight I feel like I should show my face. I'm not going to stay out and get smashed though

    I'll be there closer to 1130-12 I think. Would prefer to get there earlier but will need to get our daughter up/fed/in the bath first. Which can take ages. 

    @mrkb  - are you bringing a FRFR monitor for your Fractal? I'm bringing mine, but as I rarely take it out had forgotten it's got a fault with the volume control (you have to get it in the 'right' position to stay at one volume/not fluctuate - think it's just a bad connection). Meant to get it sorted but as it's not moved for ages it totally slipped my mind. Can just run straight into the PA if it's being a pain.

    Yep I’m bringing a Redsound Elis8 FRFR, it should be plenty loud enough.

    Great fun. Well done everyone. Just got home and relaxing in my comfy 'post gig' chair with a cold beer.
