haven't given my new mountain zoa a proper run yet, but has had a fair bit of night time riding around town. Super warm but totally usable for riding, though i haven't had one of the og zoas so can't compare with that. The only downside I have is that since its one of the most valuable items of clothing I own, I'm a bit scared of actually using it. I'll get over that as we head into winter though no doubt
I also ordered it the afternoon of release day and it arrived the following morning, so strong work from DPD and Albion/3PL

They just nudge you to play in differnet ways
I definitely agree with this, I'd been playing my LP for a bit instead of the mustang and while I think I play technically better on the LP, I think I make more interesting choices with the mustang. I have a reverend for my other tuning, which is fairly gibson feeling - so basically my goal now is to have my gibson pair and a fender pair, and ill use whichever i fancy on the day. but possibly I'm just talking myself into buying a jazzmaster

I spent last night trying to get my head around the whole fingerboard radius, neck profile thing. I've never really given it much time before but I know I really like my 70s mustang for left-hand feel. I'm now vaguely in the market for something similar to keep in a different tuning, so trying to figure out what qualifies. I fear i will have to go and waste a nice guitar shops time for several hours

Opposite end of the amp spectrum, but I used my new (to me, courtesy of Sheppz) Orange Terror Stamp for my rehearsal last night. Took my Tiny Terror as well for loud times comparison and I’m pretty sure the Stamp is louder, and stays clean at a higher volume too. Might sell the head to fund a Victory or something…
Having trouble with my fuzz pedal in “live” situations. Using it for lead lines, pushed almost to the limit, and it sounds like lower volume. I think it’s just an eq thing but potentially it’s not workable as part of my pedalboard and will be stuck to just recording work

I recently had a thing where I started a new project after my band of 11 years wound down. all that old material was v much a real reflection on my thoughts and feelings, but the new stuff managed to not be that and everything happened much easier. Except I wrote something I was really proud of, am now working on more stuff and have lost the 'don't really care' vibe which was so helpful initially. kinda irritating.

HARD agree. we sell a lot of pro race silencers, coz they're cheap, but they sound horrible, wayyyy too loud. G&G are trying to figure out a way to replicate a flat track one-off silencer they made for us, but in a lower cost and street-friendly version. should go straight on OEM or most replacement headers [for the RnineT]. It's going to be stubby though so i don't think I'll run it on my bike.
sorry for derailling the thread a bit MV!

I've never had much luck with those but I don't have any metalworking skills so your experience will be a bit different!
I'd be tempted to try a bit of extra pipe length on the end of the header to increase flow rate, wrap that baffle in some wadding and fix it inside the new 'silencer' and see what happens. Reduced internal diameter of the baffle would increase flow rate further, I think.
-
my moto client explained all the exhuast length thing to me the other day, which would be much more helpful here if I could remember it properly - a big part of it was how inline 4s etc work well with a shorter pipe and the v-twins ducati etc race need a longer one, because of gas starvation in the cylinder or something. The analogy with the 4s was also that theyre basically 4 single cylinders stuck together, rather than the twins which sort of work together/in opposition to each other. So I think this means a little silencer should be fine here, as long as you have the right gas flow rate.
We're actually developing a silencer at the moment, to try and come in at the 250-300£ price mark as this seems to be massively underserved. It basically goes from the EMGO/Aliexpress things, to the entry level ProRace ones which suck, to £500 ones from Arrow, Unit Garage etc.

yeah this is what i did this morning, I'm probably just talking myself into more gadgets and feeling like im making progress without actually moving
