I've even gone to great lengths and expenditure to find the best compromise solutions
to take a direct feed from the speaker output of valve amps
so I can attenuate the volume to sensible levels that won't disturb neighbours
or the wife when she's in bed sleeping...

Heres's another reprint from a recent thread 'elseswhere'..

"Punkfolkrocker's very serious Mission Statement © [2014]:

"To perform Traditional Folk songs with respect and empathy
using vintage mid 20th Century electronic instruments and amplification technology;
as if, in earlier centuries in an alternative dimension and timeline,
this technology, and not acoustic instruments,
had been commonplace
at the moments these songs were originally created and perfomed in public."
