I was thinking after seeing Kyles post on re-tolexing his Showman that it might be cool to have an archive for good tech posts on the board.
A spot were we could move threads that had good diy content.
Good tips and tricks.
Stuff like tank mods, guitar re-finshing, what tube goes good with what etc...
The Hot Rod forum I hang out at has an archive like this and it really got folks over there excited about sharing there know how.

I don't know, this might be more work for Brian than its worth but it could turn into a valuable tool.

 That's an excellent idea to have a tech section something that won't get buried or lost among other threads.
Brian would this be possible? would you be kind to start a section dedicated to just amp and guitar tech tips and know how's in the main forum menu? I think this would very beneficial to folks out there thinking of taken up a projects, and for us guys that have done projects to post the steps and the finished projects.

I think we can "sticky" such threads in the gear forum. I'm not sure another gear forum is a good idea....?

Maybe a FAQ thread or something like that. Too many tech problems are different from each other. Different symptoms, different amps or guitars, et cetera.

I would think it's kinda hard to do a seprate tech forum - threads usually combine stuff like what sounds great and looks good with techno babble about mallory v. sprague OD's and what have you. burying it in a separate forum would only make people not read the posts.
it would have been nice for archiving purposes, but in reality, stuff would still be difficult to find, just like it is now. a FAQ someday, maybe ....
personally i also like the fact that we get back to certain topics occasionally. I never get tired of talking about reverb tanks, and where in tehreal world am I going to find someone willing to listen? and besides, I dont have that much to say, so when I do, I need to repeat it often.

Well if someone starts a thread, like a How-To, and a lot of people really like it, let me know and I'll sticky it so it stays near the top.
