thanks for the answers, and Spago: hope you get better soon. I am sure that the less one thinks of EQ the better it gets.
Do you believe that dry (sitting in work, in car) EQ's have any benefit, other than making people think you are mad and backing off?
Just last night, dry Equing in the car on the way home, I could frenzel and maintain tubes open. It is easy to tell as things start sounding funny ( a slight hissing sound like a microphone with the gain turned up??) I was trying to get to the point of maintaining the open tubes on reducing the frenzel pressure for a few seconds. Too much time on my hands?
Cheers
