I use one of those - (http://theartofsound.net/forum/showpost.php?p=145135&postcount=25) and very good it is too. Bonus of being portable, if that's of any interest.

[magoorty]

Thanks for that. The neco thing looks good, though I was thinking of something with phono inputs. I don't need it to be portable as I doubt I'll be taking it down the pub.

Looks like this Neco chap does a 'desktop' version of the portable amp. That'll be ideal! Thanks for the tips folks.

Certainly in terms of size spec and price I think it's just as good if not better !
Anyone else tried it ? :lol:

I have a mint Project Head Box II that is seriously underused - so up for sale if you are interested.

I have one of these:

It is surprisingly good for the money.
I am going to put it on Ebay this weekend, if you are interested you can have it for buttons.
PM if interested.

I got lots of buttons, my mother used to collect them :mental: Jars full of em ;)

Hope the sale goes well Jerry, I do still have lots of buttons though... Must have gotten rid of carrier bags full of them :eyebrows: I still keep finding them :eek:
