At least there's a reissue Jubilee on stage I guess.

I used to be originals. Now I'm old.

We got a couple short soundbites, once at 12 seconds and again at 1:22.

It's totally not exciting (if you're not from here you won't care about local news), but I'm still happy about it.

IMO... When the guitar world thought they'd run out of tubes they were plowing money into solid state, but once they realized tubes weren't going to disappear they switched back. It took awhile, but once someone figured out the lunchbox head they even replaced the low end stuff with tubes. On the ba...

Most industries seem to have room for two competing technologies... one that's the best, and one that's good enough but has something else going for it (cheaper, easier to operate, more convenient, etc). On the budget end, solid state died shortly after Line 6 Spyder arrived. On the high end, it's n...

Wasn't Zakk using 2203s?

IMO, you don't really need a loop with a Plexi style amp unless you want a really clean sounding repeat, but (again, IMO) the breakup on the repeats is era correct and part of the charm. Plus, there's no channel switching, so no ...

In this case I think the Infinity sounds great, but it's not the right sound for me. I'm more into the Ampeg thing, which the BDDI does better. I als...

Did anybody else come back to a wonky computer on Monday? My calendar reset to the year 2164. My browser is jacked. I've had to rebuild it, passwords and all. It sucks. I truly think it was the sun. I turn it off every weekend. The only difference was unplugging it. It's also on the second floor ne...

Have you compared it to a B7K? I'm told the distortion is different on an X? Brighter?
