Hahaha thats awesome. Have you actually ever been like "fullstack? !#%#@%" *180* + Walk? I'll keep this in mind. The new amp is superb. I played a house party with my brother. He's one of these drummer types, why are drummers always crazy?? ;-) Anyway, it was plenty loud. Haven't had a...

.. damn I hope you're wearing ear plugs too! Ouch! WHAT? I CAN'T HEAR YOU! ;-)

greetings my fellow low-watt friends! Sweet. Otaypanky-- you're spot on! with some guitar -side volume adjustments / picking attacks it picks up the dirt and grind with great ease! I got a fulltone ocd because I was wary I wouldn't be able to set up the two channels to get dirty / clean (cause...

hmm sounds like its not worth the trouble / loss of x y and z!

You dropped the ball, probey! I dropped the ball, that's what happened. It looks like only a handful of us, but would still be fun to meet up and have some beers and talk about all that gear and technical stuff that none of our friends want to hear about. :-) Lets get some more details here: I...

I traded my 40watt Hot Rod Deluxe for a Vox AC15, but I've been very pleased with the results. Practice with the band, and I was still able to be plenty loud with room to spare on the volume dials... (I guess it matters how "clean" you want to be) but I really can't believe people saying you...

It is odd that i stumbled on this thread today, my left hand is useless today after a long gig on a sore carpel tunnel / rsi ordeal. Having not physically lost anything certainly puts it in a different perspective! Has anyone else had RSI from guitar? I work as a programmer too so that adds to...

Well. I figured this was the most appropriate area for this thread, let me know otherwise if that is the case ... but would anyone be interested in having Philadelphia Pa fretters meet up for discussion / fun / beer summit? I already got the OK from Joe Biden. Sorry my Canadian friends! (its a...

I usually have the alarm clockable grind+brew kind but at the office or when i am not making lots of cofffee: these things are simple as anything and cheap. grind coffee, boil water, pour through (once? twice? three times? ) it will ... be very strong. and delicious. :-)...

ZMAN you're probably right on. Maybe a roland cube 60 or something just to get by. i guess a backup is not your ideal amp scenario its a **** hit the fan! scenario. Something's better than nothing :-) I'll hunt around. but I'll carry some tubes as well. Accruing lots of GEAR... my spine! :cry:

I think I need to sit down with a "Tube Amps Explained" book or something. This is all very good information I just don't quite understand half of it. I like the way they sound / react! Now I have to figure out how they work. Thank you everyone. BTW, the wedding went great without a hitch...

good feedback. thanks! Good feedback everyone , thanks- I forgot it didn't have a tube rectifier. I liked the idea of the direct box (like a sansamp or something) in case of emergency straight to the PA. Spare set of tubes is probably a good investment as well. I thought if you bought a matched...

So my band has a gig playing a wedding coming up and I keep having this thought in the back of my mind... my tube amp is working great, no problems. (HRDx) But... what are people's experiences travelling / gigging with tube amps? Should I get a backup set of tubes to be prepared just in case...

Hope this isn't hijacking From what it seems, this is for posting your weekend lazyness (or lack there of) someone please educate me if my post is out of line... Lazy. Lazy. Lazy. That's been my weekend. The boss is away next week so its just me and a client from hell is angry about a...

Its that search for tone that is never complete, right? Lets start with the fact I currently have a Fender Hot Rod Deluxe, but I was wondering if anyone has used the Tech 21 Trademark 30? It looks like a pretty slick little package + offerings (I could record through the amp in my house without...
