This can present a problem. Good thing for McGyvery True true!! So you guys know, I cut the component leads on one of my 553Fs so flush that I cut through the solder pad and cut the connection to the trace. An experienced tech fixed it. I must say that the 553s are wonderful sounding!! I had a VP26 I thought I completely screwed up was trying for a 3 months to track what I had done ! I had the MUTE engaged the whole time! Smart people make the stupidest mistakes!

Me. what is worse yet is when you think you're smart(like me most times 8), and you find out over and over you're not, but still continue to find a way to think you are haha, case in point, I designed my room around my console/gear being at one end, i went to treat the ceiling in said end and rolled my console to the other end to get it out the way, and then i was like "holy shit, that looks like it belongs there", and after some head scratching and testing, it most certainly does, it sounded better, looked better, felt better, then my pal came over later that night, walked in and said "holy shit, man, that looks better over there" haha, and then we tested a bit more, the kick drum off my kit explodes where the console was supposed to go, the room's actual shape in that area serves to project drums now that i look at it,... as if i spent the last 2 1/2 years designing it for exactly that, but alas, I most certainly and sadly did not, no worries though, i'll take it! i'm actually excited about it, it's blown some energy into depressed boy a bit, doesn't fix my derp derp 8/, though I'm sure i'll be back to a self anointed super genius in no time 8)

How about this one 2 people who would both end up as VPs of major big gear manufacturers giging out. They and the rest of their band can't get there Crown MA amp going. I'm sitting there eating my dinner and they ask for help, walk up switch the other power switch on the back of the amp and they have audio !
