why doesn't everybody just use the metric system?

because inches, feet, yards and miles are better than meters.

Back in the 80's "we" americans were supposted to convert over to the Metric system, as directed by the President.
However, President Reagan was later sh :shock: t. Remember?
And ever since that event in history. We don't have time for "un important" stuff like Math and numbers. Or a system that is easily understood around the world.
Only legacy Reagan left was a son that says "everything that his dad did was wrong and is still hurting America to this very day"
Reagan tried his best to bring us "together" and make more sense of the world, one of these were ideas like the Metric system.
But just like the republicians "war on drugs" they have lost that one too.

I could only imagine asking my local "drug dealer" (plant dealer) for, so many meters of weed. :lol:

So are you saying Reagan was shot over the Metric system...? :?
Whoa, that's heavy :shock:

No, just stating truth.
Truth is stranger than fiction.
And this country is a toilet, waiting to be flushed.

"The Meters" are a band ...

Ooh you evil Kurt! That is like saying that wall warts are better than 60V rails... :twisted:

The Meters were a pretty good band too!

Don: Did you ever get my pictures of the Brick?

mmmm maybe

cos lots of electrical components have dimensions and leg spacings in inches
yet we drill the holes in the PCB's as metric holes ... ???

BUT

for the racked or boxed GT-Bricks, most of this work is already done, so you can do what you like when is comes to mounting the basic units
...
I do tend to use metric screws

Don: Did you ever get my pictures of the Brick?

No I didn't. I'll PM you tonight and so we can work it out.

:D I have finally found out how to upload pictures! (next project will be tying my own shoe laces)

Some of the pics are a bit blurry. I'm a lousy photographer as well..

The last picture is as per Don's request. :mrgreen:

Grooveteer, Awesome job man!!!!! Above and beyond the call. that last one was the best. Hey maybe a new ad campaign.

I've been real busy lately with redoing my racks and cabling, set up on guitars and basses, testing new drum heads (G2's record even better than coated) and making up a snake just for drums to speed setup.

I guess this project kind of fell to the back of the line. Time to get back on it.

So Kev, do you see any issues from the photos?

I also can't proceed until I find a supplier for a rack face and a chasis. Anyone know of one? Do I have to make it myself?

Thanks again Grooveteer

I got my Brick!!!

Unfortunately, now I have the need for SEVEN MORE OF THESE BAD MOTHERS!!! Okay, its not a "need", just "GREED"!

Holy crap! Do I deserve this sound for $350?

Aspen, Leland, and the bunch deserve a big HELL YEAH! for this bit of kit!

I feel so fat, warm and fuzzy, that I think I'm going to have an accident in my pants!

And this thread officially rocks! :D

Thanks Recording.org for again steering my ignorant ass in the right direction!

I don't see any specific problems in the photos

I've started to have a re-arrangement of my web sites ...
so the new RO site is rather empty and needs something to get it started again

(Dead Link Removed)

the GT rack and the supply voltage/levels/output thing could be a good start

I've started a little work on a levels page at the Factory
