Oy, now I come to the fork in the road with my Serge. My single Serge panel has a checkered past; it's a series 79 that was repackaged in an STS panel. There is no color coding on the jacks; the VCA initial gains are wired backwards; and recently, the filter died. (Which brings m

Well, nice weather is relative to not so nice weather you would have seen over the winter. Cloudy and warm is better for outside activity than cloudy and snowy. You people flock to your local fish and chips restaurants when it gets warm, dont you? Such a bizarre place, the UK! ;)
