i got the meter today, and i tried using it but haven't got the patience! i took out all of the shims and just placed all they keys onto the felt and the action is fast and light, really even and dynamic. next thing is to re-drill the harp for optimum strike line!!!

Amps, Effects & Recording Techniques / portable amp for the nord
« on: March 24, 2014, 12:02:05 PM »
hi all, im after a portable amp to use with the nord. i dont drive so it has to be portable for busses and trains. i've tried an AER acoustic amp which was perfect, but its way out of my budget (£100/$165). im looking at either;
http://www.thomann.de/gb/harley_benton_ac_pro_60.htm
or
http://www.thomann.de/gb/the_tamp_pa4080kb.htm
i normally use a 100w valve amp, but need something for smaller gigs. any advise would be appriciated!
