Dusty Chalk

Actually, I was talking about the clean tones -- in general, I don't want it to break up early. (In general, mind you, I do like the occasional dirt/overdrive/distortion/fuzz, I just usually do that with pedals.) That said, there's a ton of people that would want just that -- the ability to get a great "dirty" tone at sane volumes. (Including me, occasionally -- would love to be able to record at sane volumes.) (Not that there's anything wrong with that -- I do understand I'm in the minority on that. I do understand that most guitarists want to know what an amps tone is right around the point of breakup, either right over or right under.)

Lollers -- if that's as "all over the place" as the set of compilations I streamed on Spotify once, there's some weird shit buried in there.

PRS used to have something called a Studio amp that I've always lusted after (that looks like that), but personally I prefer that they breathe more than that (Dave Grissom's Custom PRS amp is practically see through and has two powered fans). I'm sure it's not hermetically sealed, but I'd just like to see more ventilation. Doug -- I'll prequalify this with, I have very weird tastes, in both guitars and guitar amps. My favourite guitar is my Parker Fly Deluxe, which is wood wrapped in a carbon fiber/silicon/epoxy exoskeleton, and it has a delightfully clean and dare I say "hi fi" sound -- it's practically an electro-acoustic, and I don't mean that thin and reedy piezo sound, although it can do that too, but it practically sounds like an acoustic guitar through the pickups. With lots of extension in the treble, and almost no diffusion or saturation. So that said -- my ultimate amp reflects this (PRS MDT Custom). It's not a neutral acoustic amp, it does have a tone profile, but it has neither that vintage mid-forward sound nor the modern ultra-low and ultra-high and scooped-mids sound (although I do tend to lean that way with the bass/mid/treble controls). So..."really warm" not really my thing, but my curiosity in what sort of guitar amp head design you would use is undiminished. Care to describe the tone stack? Especially if it's not that hard on tubes. Is it?

This guy would be very popular around these parts. I love how he's all non-assuming and listens to all this stuff. This is me in a couple years, except, you know, less fat.

Take it to PM, jib/Billy/Aaron/whatever your name is. You're threadcrapping. Threadcrapping -- making the thread about you, rather than the original subject matter == a form of entitlement. Any form of expecting special treatment, stated or otherwise == entitlement. Since you obviously don't know what that means. Or piss off. Don't really care which. Good day, sir.

He's talking about just rebuilding it. Well, also, it's a Singlepower.

Want. This is beyond GAS. Wanter. Somehow I missed this this morning. Wantest. Please PM me a quote. Wanton want. Very interested. Also? Want. Now I want Chinese. Three guesses what kind of soup.

<-- My point You -->

I probably shouldn't ask, but... I don't know about them, what about them? EDIT: Lollers, I want a Pink Taco. Ooh, EL84s... I'm thinking of getting a Quilter. Mostly as a practice amp. I keep leaving my tube amps in standby mode for 9+ hours at a time.

Blacklist season two -- goddamn, I love this show. James Spader fucking rules. He fucking carries this show. Watching the first episode of Zoo -- love the premise, plus any show whose opening sequence starts with a close-up of a black cat's eyes...

Dog's reaction to vuvuzela reflects mine -- scatologically inclined And one for Shelly:

Steve Albini's letter stating how much he detests techno used to promote techno

Good. All my Brit friends are raving about it, I'll have to wait for the Blu-ray.

Must you? I have enough GAS as it is. The WEED only shipped yesterday, but apparently I have a couple Japanese guitars waiting for me at the post office.

The champagne ones

I forgot to go to this.

Damn, they had to bring up the nazis. (Now you religious folks, before you get all uppity, I just thought the caption was particularly clever. Twice. "Blurry duty" -- heh.)

Happy belated!

Happy belated!

Yes, that is most probably the case.

finished the one Tim Powers, started the other -- this one seems rougher than the first (these are his first two books, bought as a set, with an introduction/explanation/apology by Tim Powers) Ongoing: Indexing: Reflections (Kindle serial -- loving it as much as the first) Red-Rose Chain -- about halfway done, superb
