I would like to sell the pair because they belong together.  
(total package no separating)

I have two 1966 VOX Cambridge Reverbs tube amps.  My rig has one 
foot switch and the classic chrome plated stand for stacking the 
two amps.  Both amps are in real good shape for their age.  
There are no rips in the speaker cloth but some minor dings 
on the shells.  One amp has a Bull Dog speaker and still has 
all of it's control knobs.   The second amp does not have the 
Bull Dog speaker and has some new tubes mixed with the old ones.  

I'm looking for the best reasonable offer or trade.  
(I'm looking for an AC-30)

It needs less than 300, but excess won't hurt. However the answer is probably
"niether." If the supply is not voltage regulated you will get hum.

300 ma is probably enough, 500 can't hurt. These ratings describe the
maximum current that the adapters can supply, the actual current used
is determined by the needs of the box you're powering.

The GT does almost EXACTLY what the + does. The GT basicaly is in two parts -  
the guitar type front end, and a quad+ back end. There's an effects loop  
between them, which allows you to use each half completly independantly, should  
you want to.

Funny, I just posted this note in comp.music:

----

Well, about three weeks ago, I posted a "Wow! Encore for Windows" note
just after I got this product.  I still like it and use it a lot.  But,
it has a lot of bugs -- all of which I can workaround.  One example is
that cut and paste of sections of music must be handled carefully and
with small chunks which do not span page boundaries.

So, I've call Passport's technical support.  I have two issues here.
First, I know more than technical support!  Second, I leave them
messages (they are rarely there) with descriptions of problems.  I get
a call back along with instructions to call -- but I cannot get them
to ever leave an answer on my answering machine.  Grrr...

Finally, I already have their sequencer, Master Tracks Pro for Windows.
They just sent me an upgrade offer to their latest version.  Only $199
for a package that only cost me $275.  I'd rather wait and buy Cakewalk
for Windows than pay very nearly the purchase price for an upgrade.
[FYI, their latest letter, only $149!]

I think these guys need to wake up before they lose me and other customers.

>Could somebody explain the basic premise of Leslie speakers?

The effect is produced by placing a "horn" shaped rotor on front of
a speaker (the sound that cones from the rear of the speaker is
contained or attenuated).

The rotor produces a doppler effect similar to a train passing, where
the pitch of the sound approaches at a higher pitch, is on pitch when
the rotor is positoned directly to you and lowers in pitch as it
revolves away from you.

I worked for several years with a guitarist that ueed a small
"Leslie" cabinet on his guitar.

He used the low speed for a nice subtle phase shift type of sound.  He
used the high speed and big open cords to get the guitar to sound a
bit like an organ....

I wired up additional speakers that could be switched in to dilute the organ
effect.

Well, this is true; however, some of the pre-CBS sand remained and was used
in some designs through the early '70s. It's simply not true that quality
tone can only be obtained from black-face sand. Many devices using silver-
face sand sound just as good at half the price.
Design engineers, being tweak-happy folks, couldn't resist the temptation to
meddle with the sand after CBS bought out Fender. The new sand just didn't
sound the same. Good thing there was still some pre -CBS sand around...
We at Intel have access to huge stockpiles of pre-CBS sand with which we
make our silicon. I've offered to "divert" some of it for music apllications
but noone's taken me up on it. I suppose they're afraid they'll get burned
because they can't verify the actual date of manufacture (where are those
I therefore repeat my offer, and can vouch for the true pre-CBS origin of
the sand. Using this sand, some enterprising folks could rekindle the Great

	I really like Mike Stern's "Upside Downside". Great band and very
cool guitar/sax unison lines from Stern and Bob Berg. Jaco plays on Mood Swings.

OK. Am I right in thinking then that, if you have a sequence made up of, say,
2 segments of different tempos, that the MIDI clock will pulse more slowly for
the slower section and vice versa? I understand that it pulses at 24/96 ppqn,
but does the sequencer actually slow down its clock when recording at slower
tempos or does the clock speed stay the same and the MIDI events occur
effectively further apart (in clock pulse counts)?

I hope this question is clear.

If in doubt buy the 500ma model the unit won't draw any more than it needs.
The conversion efficiency is most likely terrible on these anyway, so if all you
needed was the 300ma model this one will last longer because it will run cooler.

Try setting the level of the sound with the button in the top left corner (I 
forget the label.  I think it's either 'manual' or 'level' or somthing like
that and then just use the two small  + - keys (I forget their labels too)
to turn the level up.  The level is 0-5, and doesn't affect MIDI- It recieves
velocity info ( I think).  My 505 is sitting underneath a pile of stuff and
