wicked, wicked, wicked...

[sigh]

i've actually avoided shiner's firefly, b/c it's so darned LOUD, and i keep imagining the neighbors calling the cops on us...

[and i've actually practiced acoustically all week to keep from being lazy about my fretting... lower action on electrics and all]

i was out watering the plants in the backyard and could hear shiner jamming out on my strat... i came in and fussed.

he said...

'you have to plug her and play on Odyssey'

so i did. i got my pick, went to work on some of my flat picking songs, and he kept incrementally turning her up.

wicked, wicked, wicked.

i was so torn between the evil i was doing to the neighbors and the sheer joy of that screaming amph.

man, the red beast is cool. it sounds so different than the other amphs in the house... it actually sort of makes me sound better. :rotflmao:

[i can hear him in the other end of the house right now playing goo goo dolls 'iris']

 

[just strum]

Remember the earplugs. And as for the neighbors calling the cops on you, I would think you two I use to that by now.

 

[Childbride]

no worries. it was only turned up halfway.

 

[luvmyshiner]

Hey, it's only 1.5 watts, right? I can't possibly damage my ears with 1.5 watts.

Hello? Huh???? What???? Type louder everyone.

...it sounds so different than the other amphs in the house...

Forgive my ignorance... apparently I don't get it... Amph? I keep seeing this reference to "amplifier"... Is this some "Fret.Net" inside joke or colloquialism or did someone just typo amp once and everyone just adopted it?

Yep, definitely a part of Fretter lore. Our very own SuperSwede found a review written about an amplifier where the reviewer kept referring to the amplifier as "amph." Further hilarity ensued when the reviewer stated as his most salient point, "With this amph I get no screaming solos."

Anyway, SuperSwede posted about it and we all had a laugh. The terms "amph," and "screamin' solo" managed to become a part of the Fretter lexicon.

Got it... thanks for the explain. I was hoping that it wasn't merely sheep-bait.

Glad to hear that you've been pulled into the land of tubular distortion CB.

 

[Childbride]

that post is such a classic... :rotflmao:

tot, this morning, he actually turns and looks at me to say...

'honey, i think i'm going to build a FIFTY WATT AMPH!!! whaddya think?'

:thwap: :thwap: :thwap:

'i think you aren't going to plug that anywhere other than where there's a bunch of acreage, dear...'

[epiphany: a weekend place? a jam central in the country? are there wildlife protection acts sanctioning against such things?]

with earplugs, of course.

 

[tot_Ou_tard]

Fret party at Jam Central, Tx!

 

[R.B. Huckleberry]

LOLz.


With my amph, I get screaming solos.

 

[Childbride]

Fret party at Jam Central, Tx!

[if you build it, they will come]

i actually already have the 'place'. he'd just have to build it.

 

[Brian Krashpad]

are there wildlife protection acts sanctioning against such things?]

In civilized jurisdictions, yes there are such laws.

Of course that leaves out Tejas.

YEE-HAW!
