I feel sad that a member of this forum is upset that his country is in difficulty.
I feel even sadder that other members feel the need to make offensive posts about this situation, although not altogether surprised.
It is about time this thread was closed and members asked to show a little more respect!
Would an administrator please close this thread!

Apart from exhaust gases, there is a need for air intake, it won't work without it. Plus, I'm sure it would need some kind of cooling. Even being so small. Also problematic. Pacemaker, I don't think so.......... Mobile phone, I don't think so. Not in my best suit pocket (if I had one ) anyhow. In fact, any confined space would likely cause problems. I don't see too many problems in the possibility of building such an engine, but I can't think of many applications for it. Cool idea though......LOL.

Just out of interest, I measured the old (now swapped out) maple one piece neck from my '73 Fender Strat. Nut width = just over 40 mm Outside slot to slot = 34 mm The new neck has 41 mm and 34.5 mm.......

Have you had the opportunity to check the power supply with another Boss pedal? That would narrow things down a bit. As would trying another power supply with your CS - 3. Your local friendly dealer or a friend, perhaps.

Thanks guys I like the 'young feller' ;D Amps stuck on 11, I'm looking for 12....... I bag of sunshine on it's way..... Actually, my birthday is in November. Well, I tried changing it a couple of times, but obviously got it wrong...... You'd think that after 61 years I'd get that right....LOL. Off to prepare for a family New Years Eve 'do'. Thanks again.

No, as ashcatlt says, you are best to use the line- in. So, it seems the cheapest set up would be with what you have at hand. Take your signal from the Marshall line-out and put it direct into the line-in of your computer. You could also try using the line-out of your pedal board, for a different sound, or using a mic in front of your Marshall's speaker (the mic would go into your computer's mic input). The last option will give you a truer signal of your 'live' guitar/amp sound. Me, I prefer the last option, along with JohnH. Upgrading from there is quite easy, should you feel the need. Have fun...

I think, perhaps, the reason most people use an interface, is because the AD/DA conversion results are better. Most built in sound card converters are designed for gaming rather than use with a DAW. Bear in mind that a good DAW can be set to quite a high audio quality (even though you will probably mix down to CD quality levels, in the end).
I often use an effect pedal (switched off) when going direct to the 'puter input, I'm told it gives better level matching for line inputs. But I'm not sure about that.
That said, if you are happy with your results, you're good to go.
As newey posted above, you can record your guitar/amp tone by careful mic use. Also, if you have one, you can use your amp's line out to feed signal to the 'puter. The benefit there is being able to record silently, but you won't get the speaker sound recorded, of course.
Personally, I have a LINK firewire interface into my Peavey mixer (to distribute the sounds) which is connected to my monitor system and 2 computers. So, all my inputs are to the mixer, then through the LINK and off to the computer.
Anyway, have fun recording!!

Naaaa, I bought one in the mid sixties, for learning jazz, he really knew his stuff! I often pull it out and go over some of the lessons. Inspirational stuff.

LOL.......... I once did a stint as security at rock events. One gig was 'Rock At The Oval', in London's cricket ground. When The Who came on, I was on stage to, in theory, keep it clear of fans. As he came on, Pete Townshend asked me to grab a hold of the mic in front of his Lesley cabinet, " 'cause it goes walkabout when I crank it up". Apparantly, the vibrations, from having this chunk of loudspeaker spinning on the stage, shook everything around it up too!

Ahhhh, I always thought damping had to do with the amber nectar, as mentioned earlier....LOL. And all of the Bass players I have known excelled in that area!

Most PVC sign businesses should be able to print your 'intricate' design and cut exactly to template, including cutouts for switches and knobs, etc! In Spain the PVC designs last several years, in bright (very) sunlight!
LOL; you could get a whole set of designs and change them at whim......
A hot air blower would help you to remove (peel) the PVC, not too hot though, take it slow, so as not to do any damage to your axe or the scratch plate. I guess if you lay the scratch plate on a piece of (cold) metal before you hot air blow it, you would lower the chance of damaging it, by draining the heat away from below.

I agree with asmith's point of view, though perhaps not with his way of executing it.
There is absolutely no need to be insulting when you post disagreeing with an idea. It is bad manners and distasteful.
I too became more of a lurker having suffered stupid, agressive responses to my posts and have wanted to mention the rudeness in this thread several posts ago. I am surprised that an administrator has not intervened earlier. Shame........... How on earth can you allow a member to personally insult another, for whatever reason? Don't let a bad apple spoil the barrel.
Kudos to geo for his suffering abuse in silence and continuing unphased!
I am seriously considering never coming back and removing any links I have placed to the site.

Maybe try your local sign shop. They'll have pvc adhesive sheet and will probably cut it to size, if you supply a template. EAsy to apply and remove, if you need to. That stuff will hold tight in most any conditions.....

4real is absolutely right there. Audacity is more than adequate. The noise reduction on Audacity is actually pretty good, but I tend to adjust the reduction to a minimum. You can end up with some pretty strange (sometimes interesting/nice) artifacts appearing if you get too heavy with it. Another thing you can do is crop out the noise from any silent parts, between words/notes, for instance. Makes quite a difference! Some time ago, I started transferring tracks from my old Yamaha MT2X (these are hi-speed, 4 track cassette machines, 4real), and got some pretty good results, after noise reduction. Look out for speed anomalies, though. If you are interested (I hope a liere is allowed), there is a very friendly and helpful forum, Two Track Music, here: www.twotrackmusic.com/Lots of good advice and pointers for home recordists, along with a spattering of good natured of humour

There are several free recording software programmes around, Krystal Audio Engine comes to mind. No VSTi facility, but there are workarounds. It's a good, basic, no frills set up, good to get you going, and the price is right - 000
