After much research I have come to a conclusion. The Mesa Boogie DC5 is louder on its own than when accompanied with the Marshall 50-50. This, of course doesn't seem possible as 150 of the Queens Watts are being produced as against a mere 50. I do however have a theory. The DC5 on its own has the same effect on those in front of it as a shaped charge on a T72. Devastating. It's much more piercing and direct. When all together, more air is moved but it isn't as "live". Another conclusion, Randall Smith must be a liar. It must be more than 50 Watts!!! In early July 2007, the Twin Neck Steinberger was sold to a nice chap in New York, with a replacement Steinberger GM2T arriving in England as part of the deal. This is to become my main instrument as Mad Dog hacks at the blue thing to make an "Explorer"

| Amplifier | Mesa Boogie | DC5 |
50 Watt, all
tube, twin channel combo.
Fully Re-Valved on 5th October 2007 with the following from Watford Valves 6 x HARMA DR250 ECC83/7025 2 x 6L6GC SVETLANA / WINGED CRYO What a sound -WHAT A SOUND, Sorry, I didn't catch that! |
|
| Amplifier * | Marshall | 50-50 All Valve rack power amp. |
This new baby will power both cabs leaving the Boogie to concentrate on its
built in speaker. This boosts the power to "ONE HUNDRED AND FIFTY" of the queens watts |
|
| Speaker Cabinet * | Edgar Custom | Angled 4 x 12 | Now fitted with Celestian G12's. This thing will blow your godamn head off (Shit Casters) | |
| Speaker Cabinet * | Marshall | Straight 4 x 12 | This cabinet has had a long life and is still in an "almost" showroom condition. On 8 October, I transferred the 4 x 12 Speakers from the Edgar Custom. This cab now gives out a very dark sound under the harsh sound of the Edgar. After 1 gig, I decided casters where not only desirable, but a necessity. (Shit Casters) | |
| Effects | Morley | Bad Horsie | "Steve Vai" endorsed switchless Wah Wah pedal | |

Ho Ho Ho, just added this when Wayne joined.
I like it |

| Transmitter | Samson | Airline | UHF "bug" guitar transmitter and pedal receiver. (Not bad, nice idea but a bit flimsy and although the transmitter takes only one AAA battery which lasts a couple of gigs, the receiver also takes a PP3 which lasts about the same time) | |
| Tuner | Boss | TU2 | Stomp Box tuner. Excellent, no problems. | |
| Other | - | - | Stainless steel microphone stand mounted drinks holder. This keeps the beer where the action is. It's also the only decent use that the microphone stand gets!!! | |
| Microphone & Stand | Sennheiser | E845 | Probably my biggest waste of money yet (although claims this mantle goes on the guitars - titter). 67 of the Queens Pounds for rare backing vocals. At least I can't blame the microphone any more! | |
| Acoustic Guitars | - | - | NONE | |

Lee is pictured here sporting the guitar that has been in the family for many, many years. It is still in its original condition with just 5 replacement necks and 3 bodies. Both Lee and Peter have been seen playing this type of instrument although Peter's had thicker strings. He kept his out in the yard! |

18 till I die, I was recruited solely because I share the same name as the previous drummer (the miserable gits had a job lot of CD’s already pressed up, so it saved changing the labels and inserts), and I am the only non-Cumbrian in the band. Hailing from North East Lancashire, my down to earth approach comes in handy at times of stress. In fact, I am often called upon to Lancastrate the others in a crisis. |
