Pretty nice sounding amp...i think part of it depends on what your 'clean' needs are vs. crunch...and your budget of course... Love fender amp but not the hot Rods, consider a twin or DDRI...Kendrick has some really cool stuff, Rivera and Reverend too...

just wanted to update on this thread...this is for fender amps with no master volume, like DRRI, Twin, Bassman, etc.. I opened for stony larue last night and wanted a little extra meat on my sound, so i tried this technique for the first time in a long time...there was an audible difference immediately, but once we did soundcheck and the amp was in the mix, wow, what an difference...just to clarify, i used the vib 1 input for my guitar, then ran a shielded cable from vib 2 to reg 1 and used the regular channel volume as a gain...both eqs work and the guitars tone is way fatter...then i can j

well...giving it away is the key there...ive already been burnt in a situation where i was contacted by a director to do a score, only to do the work and have him back out at the last minute (over budget)...he then tried to force me to submit the compositions to him for free...filmmakers are generally not my kind of people i was approached by craig brewer (Hustle & Flow, Black Snake Moan) here in town to do some work on one of his projects, but in the end i suspected i would just be getting used and turned him down...matter of fact, on another date, i was playing a show at a local hole w -
Eddie Van Halen and the new "Wolfgang"

it is a sad time now when the only stores that make it like MF,GC, Best Buy, etc...even with such amazing quality and tech out there now, most cities family music stores all unable stay afloat, and most cant make a deal to carry the bigs names...theres only 3 in memphis now besides GC and Best buy...and their stocks are small for the most part -
"Shake it off" rhythm guitar effect

Not a prunes and custard...not for that sound...mine has turned into a bit of a one trick pony Could be a deja vibe, but i think the sound really does sounds more like a real leslie (ala george harrison)...as a matter of fact, i think i remember reading an article which suggested that very thing (time for google i guess)...theres no telling how much gear theyve collected in the loft j -

id like to see the pics... Once i got out of the habit of putting beer bottles up on stuff, the sting of repeatedly spilling beers up there is finally numbed...the towel hanging in the closet pic is the spill-kill, and yes, those blue carpets hide alot... I havent had interference issues like that...are your guitars shielded inside? And wah pedals in particular pickup radio, could that be a player? Sounds like youre getting something other than the usual 60 cycle stuff...also, ceiling fans and light faders are generally culprits...alot of folks blame tubes in amps and pres, but i havent -

guess my songs are my babies...ill always remember the first time i heard my dad play 'danny's song' and 'the night they drove ol' dixie down' on acoustic one night...lamrod, youll surely have the pleasure of imparting music unto your child in such a defining manner...my father will pass down to me a '20's martin he got from his father, and yet, its not so much about the instrument and more something less tangible... -

Dont scare me i live in the hood... Its sublime to be able walk up the stairs and just go...yes...thats a vox ac30, i split time between that and the fender drri...the delays i use offer me the option of stereo out to two amps...im on a roxy music tribute album where i went space echo and akai headrush out to left and right, way cool... thanks, cheap...lowes had a sale on floor rugs and i matched sizes to the space i had to fill...about $35 each for 7x5 and the ones ive got on the floor i got for $21 on clearance...i lucked out as well because i have a wrap around attic you cant -
Was going to put this in the show us your gear, put though id see what others do at home...i get some great recordings so far and rehearsals go unfettered as the neighbors cant hear a thing...i had to completely re-wire the upstairs lights and recepticles, quite an education...carpeted walls surprisingly effective...heres a few pics, you cant see the cool rugs from Lowes , the mic cabinet, and floor monitors, but you get the idea... few more...

yea...cool trick they dont teach you in school...you can get a bit more tube break up bridging...i have found i get some strange highend overtones which i dont always like, the vibrato channel has a bright capacitor which alot of folks cut out...

Snapz Pro X is what i use (for Mac)...works wonderfully for audio and video...beware of massive file sizes when recording streams j

not too long ago i put a used Classic 30 and a couple of Fender tubes amps side to side at a music store my bass player was working at...i remember getting some really good sounds out of the Peavey, which kind of surprised me, but the tone and volume (projection is a better word) couldnt really beat the fenders (a hot rod, princeton recording and a deluxe reverb ri)...the DRRI easily had the warmest sounds and its 22 watts sounded louder and broke up better than the 30 watt Peavey...the Classic 30 did however sound better than the comparable fender hod rod, which went from quiet to brittle an

Anone considering purchasing Fender equipment in 2009
In a little rowboat replied to jff's topic in Solid State Technology
Couple of reasons...first, the first post-CBS era facility was in Japan, and Fender didnt keep any USA factories open for years...so all Fenders period came out of Japan for a while... in addition, japanese woodworking, craftmanship and attention to detail is legendary, this carries over into the Fender Japan that we know today, which produces (supposedly) only for the Japanese market, which i dare say, is more particular in its buying habits...Japanese workers are more skilled and paid better than any other than in the USA...Fender Japan also bends over backwards to emulate vintage instrume -

In a little rowboat replied to jff's topic in Solid State Technology
yea...i was going for the difference between one tier and the next, but didnt explain well enough, but i think you get what i was saying...as mentioned the largest price increase really effects the higher tier instruments of the line...hardshell cases run what, $99? And that's not cost...I wasnt really factoring that in the equation -

Nice combo, love vintage tubes...im sure the 6l6 is beefier...I know the 6l6 takes more power from the transformer, and the transformer that comes in the Champ is already at its capacity with the smaller 6V6-----id really like to know, do you hear a big difference? You might need a new trany to really take advantage of that switch...
