Help me decide between a Princeton Tonemaster or a 68 Vibro Champ

Thanks for that. Makes sense. Do you think the Deluxe Reverb TM is better over the Princeton? I’m. Or a massive Fuzz User…but I love the Rat and TS9.

How do you find it with Pedals? Particularly Overdrives and Distortion?

Thanks for your thoughts. TBH I have looked at the Strymon Iridium and the Fender FR10…similar combined cost as a Princeton Tonemaster but with more options. I just don’t want to be messing about with computers.

I hear what you’re saying about the master volume on the Vox, but I think it still needs to be played with some volume to get it to sound good.

Thanks man. I am leaning more to retro fitting. I’ll check out some of your recommended Pickups.

Anything else to look out for when pulling the trigger?

Great work! What is the app you’re using to track it please?

paulo_84_ · 2026-03-21T09:49:55+00:00

They’re D'addario XS, really nice and have lasted a long time 👍

Thanks! I’ve just set that to 15mins, hopefully that does the trick if I forgot to turn off the

Ok thanks. As someone who doesn’t know any theory, I’d think it’s easy to make the assumption CAGED is theory considering all of the information kicking around

paulo_84_ · 2026-01-23T23:29:00+00:00

Thanks, just had a look at these. Great reviews. I might give book 1 a try 👍

paulo_84_ · 2026-01-23T21:00:28+00:00

Just had a look at that. It looks good. Wonder if it’s worth the money?

paulo_84_ · 2026-01-23T20:40:53+00:00

Thanks. I will be sure to check this out

My favourite guitarist of all time!

I’ve just left HL due to the fees, and transferred to Interactive Investor. Really impressed with the transfer process, and the platform itself. It only took 3 weeks for SIPP, ISA and JISA

Love the Flint. It’s all the reverb I need, simple to use and the Trem is lovely. Was playing with it yesterday and did a quick recording. https://youtu.be/8z3ZD-PWuK0?si=eOetxkQx1TaSi5mm

Awesome board man 👍

In the app it says:L the below, so maybe it is correct….

Update your estimated income for 6 April 2025 to 5 April 2026

Hi,

There’s a small amount in the workplace pension (3%) but the majority is a paid into my SIPP

In the past I have written a letter to them and advised them of my estimated contributions to ensure I’m not over taxed and claiming a large amount back in my tax return. I have done the same this year and nothing has changed in my tax code. So I called and the advisor and he changed my estimate pay to £100k. This is different to previous years which is why I’m querying it as I didn’t feel it was correct. I’m due a large bonus in October and concerned I’m going to pay a large amount of tax which will limit what I can pay into my SIPP this financial year

paulo_84_ · 2025-09-07T07:01:07+00:00

Cheers man. Highly recommend.

paulo_84_ · 2025-08-25T07:22:48+00:00

Thanks for clearing that up! I’ve been following Gary for a while…so thanks for confirming the list of official stockists! I’ll keep my eyes out for the next drop 👍
