So, I had this amp lying around in my father's basement for a while now. 13 years to be precise: It was my first practice amp back when I bought my first electric guitar. The circuit wasn't half bad, had a cool gritty marshally sound with an analogical spring reverb, but unfortunately the speaker was trash.
30 watts RMS are hard to handle for an 8 inches cheap speaker, so one morning, after an intense early '00s punk rock rehersal it simply went BZZZZZzzzzzzzzzz..... and it was gone.
And finding a new speaker that wouldn't blow up again, expecially one with such required specifications, was something I couldn't achieve 13 years ago. So eventually I gave up searching for spares and I bought a new amp.

Fast forward to a couple months ago, I need a small practice amp to carry around, now that I have a new band after a log time.
I remembered the existence of this relic from the past, went to my dad's house and I was surprised he didn't throw it away after all of this time.
I started to look for spares immediately and thanks to the power of today's internet, I was able to find that the Celestion TF0818, even tho it's not a speaker intended for guitar amps in the first place, had all the specifications I needed: 8 inches, 8 ohms, able to withstand up to 100 watts of power.
The delivery took a while to get to my house (I ordered it via a local website) but once it arrived I put it straight in.

With new guts, my old friend is back in action: the 0818 has a good response to mid-low frequencies which gives a lovely round and dark tone to the gain channel, while still being able to work with high frequencies due the small sizes.
I'm always happy to bring new life to old music equipment, it reminds us that we don't need the latest gizmos (and create unnecessary waste) if we take care of our stuff. Also, the swap was super easy, no joke I just needed a scewdriver and 10 minutes, so if you have and old amp lying around you could totally give it a shot, the results might surprise you.

Last year I bought an Harley Benton Telecaster and I loved it right away. Today I'm going to make it even better by upgrading its weak spots like the tuners, the electronics and the plastic nut. I'm also going to mod the wiring with a 4-way switch and adding a "pickup in series" mode.
Wish me luck.

Hey everyone, I figured that some new users might not know that comments and posts have a formatting standard called Markdown.
In simple terms, Markdown is a (semi)universal language that uses formatting symbols to give a certain style to a portion of text.
This quick guide can help you to write in a way that's more appealing and easy to read.

FORMATTING	SYNTAX	EXAMPLE
New line	put two spaces at the end of the line you want to break	Line__
New paragraph	return two times at the end of the paragraph	Line↵↵
Horizontal rule	between each paragraph put three "-" or "*"	***
Bold	put your text between two "**" or "__"	**Bold** or __Bold__
Italic	put your text between two "*" or "_"	*Italic* or _Italic_
~Sub~script	put your text between two "~"	~Subscript~
^Super^script	put your text between two "^"	^Superscript^
Inline code	put your text between two "`"	`sudo rm -rf /`
Headings and Titles	put one or more "#" at the beginning of the line	# Headings for level 1, ## Headings for level 2...
Blockquotes	put ">" at the beginning of the line	> Blockquote
Links	put the the text between [ ] and the link between ( )	[Links]( https://piped.video/watch?v=dQw4w9WgXcQ )
Images	like links but you put "!" before the first square bracket	

You can also do unordered lists using "-" at the beginning of each line:

- Salt
- Potatoes
- Beans

will become

• Salt
• Potatoes
• Beans

Or ordered list by putting "1." at the beginning of each line:

1. Salt
2. Potatoes
3. Beans

will become

1. Salt
2. Potatoes
3. Beans

You can save other users from spoilers by encasing a paragraph between a section that starts with ":::" followed by a space and the word "spoiler" + the title of the spoiler and ends with ":::". The spoiler will be hidden inside a menu and you'll be able to see it if you click on it

will become

In the end you can also format big code blocks by putting "```" at the beginning and at the end of each paragraph

```
println("Hello World!")
```

will become

    println("Hello World!")  

Last but not least remember that you can always use break formatting syntax by putting "\" in front of a character:
so if I want "^" in my text without having the rest of the paragraph in superscript, I'm simply going to write "\^"

Now go and have fun!
