I'm in Australia. Joscho. Classical guitar. Miss my gypsy guitars.
Hi folks, just thought I'd write a bit about my situation. Mainly to help myself connect with some musical people and cheer myself up.

Homemade Tube Amp
I made this because I wanted a loud singe ended tube amp for Gypsy Jazz. Here’s a video of the amp I came up with The amp is pictured at the end of the demo.
