Ahh that makes a lot of sense with the trem! I'll see how it goes for now by next restring will try that way!

I've heard lots of great things about those Orange Micro-Terrors, great little amps, sorry to hear you're not feeling well, hope you get well soon mate.


If you've got a flu or something like that, try making yourself a lemon tea.

For sure, I have a little Peavey Backstage Plus amp that I fixed up last year, it's the loudest 35 watt amp I've ever heard, the original speaker needed replacing so I replaced it with a new 10 inch Jensen C10Q that I bought online, did some other mods to the amp and it's working great so far, even made a footswitch for it too.

Nice one! I have a 3watt orange micro crush and it is actually rather loud for a 3.5" speaker

Well done Shazza, you've got to be happy with that. And I love your playing too.

Hey Robin, thanks!

I enjoyed your playing on the youtube video clip too, it doesn't take much to get used to a trem system, try listening to some of your favorite guitarists that use a trem and see if you can emulate what they do.


The guitar is said to be one of the easiest instruments to play, but one of the hardest to master, if you keep putting alot of work into the playing of it, it is going to reward you.

Once you get used to the trem system it will open up lots of expressive possibilities, what I like to do is what I call the "Surf Shimmer", you basically play a barre-chord, such as an e-minor at say the 7th fret, strum the strings, then use the trem to slowly drop the pitch of the chord a bit and then bring the pitch back up, works great with a clean sound with a bit of reverb on it, have a listen to Hank Marvin from the Shadows.
