New here, so these are my answers!
1. My first name, followed by my initials.
2. Wiltshire
4. That's a tough one. Either my American Performer Telecaster, or my Blackstar HT-5R amp. I am really enjoying both at the moment, and as the arrived on the same day I'm still in the honeymoon period with both.
5. Well that changes every few minutes... Right now, Sittin on the Dock of the Bay. The answer may change frequently, but there is a good chance it is either something from Stax/Steve Cropper, Bruce Springsteen or The Clash, hence the Tele.

Q3: What's your main musical ambition?
I was 60 last December so my ambitions are pretty low :-) I wanted to host a 60th concert but Covid has so far put paid to that. I would like to write and perform some songs (I have a Soundcloud site) but am not a proffessional musician so it is all "as and when"

Ooohh, tricky but I think my Fender George Harrisson Rosewood Tele (2016) is my favourite single thing

First name and nickname, nothing exciting sorry!

I’m a bedroom player in reality, I play for my own satisfaction and not really a showman but I guess to nail down my theory.
Q4: Your "best" bit of gear - just the one?
Currently I only have my old trusty ESP LTD deluxe EC1000QM which I’ve had ever since they were released which I guess is almost ten years now but it’s been gathering dust for most of them!
Q5: Your #1 ever track - again, just the one?
Wow... ask me on any given day and you’ll get a totally different answer, possibly even genre and era haha it’s so hard to pick the one. I guess currently I’m in an Alter Bridge kind of mood so I’m going to say Blackbird
Rockshell has been making standard and custom effects pedalboards and pedalcases from our workshop in the Hampshire for the past couple of years, using traditional cabinet making techniques. (We started making audio-visual cabinets and furniture back in the 90s.) I hope you won’t mind if I post about our products from time to time.
Though Rockshell is a builder/vendor, music comes first. I’ve been playing out live for a (very) long time now - as well as sound engineering events for other performers. I am currently guitarist/singer in a rock covers band in the Southampton area called The Metrons and, like everyone, we just want go out and play loud again.…
Though I will of course be participating in threads relating to pedalboards, I will always endeavour to offer impartial advice and support for members designing/building/troubleshooting their effects circuits or wrestling with their PAs.
Q1: Puddlesurf: processes (like wave propagation) apply on the micro and macro levels; wind blowing across a puddle creates waves, same as on the ocean. Waves are important…
