I am new here but certainly not new to audio, electronics and of course, music. Like many of you, I am very enthusiastic about learning and sharing in projects that fulfill the need to be creative and shape audio into something magical and relishing in the pride of rolling your own.
My name is Billy Yates. I own and operate Venice Amplifier in Venice Ca. I restore vintage guitar amplifiers, Echoplex and Space Echo's. I build a few limited items per year for my own use and select clients. My clients include some very noteworthy individuals in the recording business which I won't go into.
I Co-own Studio Rev, in Culver City Ca. A fully equipped Analog/HD recording facility where I get to concentrate on whats most important in my world...music. Speaking of which, I am a recording artist and guitarist and have played for 40 years. A former member of the Outlaws and occasional member of The Marshall Tucker Band, I have toured and played with some of the most incredible musicians on the planet, from dingy Southern Chitlin joints, to 100,000+ venues. A remarkable experience to say the least. I still play around LA when time permits. My electronic background dates back to my first soldering iron at the age of 7 when I built my first crystal radio set. Then came Ham Radio (N6YW), then girls and Rock and Roll and have never looked back. I look forward to meeting and sharing with all of you in various projects and being helpful and of course a general nuciance as time permits. You folks have really developed quite a remarkable place here and I feel it's an honor to join in.
Hand me that Telecaster....
