Morello had a moment here and there. There were a number of guys who were a little out of place but I just tried to focus on the good stuff. Nuno kicked all sorts of ass.
I agree about the 2203. Just because it has a MV I think the cranked (or damn close) tone gets forgotten. Once you really open them up they are amazing. One of my favorite amps is a 2204 with an extra tube stage goosing the stock-ish circuit. It's essentially a "one wire mod' type gain stage. So...
At the end of the day YJM has 10x more Marshalls behind him so JS had no chance from the jump. And in the drop-kicking-picks-into-the-crowd category, again its YJM by a mile.
Timely post, my BE OD Deluxe took a shit so I was going to revisit this but I think I'll just buy a switch and hope that fixes it. If not I'll buy another one.

And fwiw there are the VH1 pictures of the mic on the top speaker of a slant. It can work obv.
Just plywood, painted and velcro'd as needed. And a bunch of George L's cable and connectors. I 'built' these boards 20+ years ago. The big one is cut so it fit perfectly in an old suitcase that was getting thrown out. Perfect for gigging.
The ocd-tidy California Closet boards are for the tan...
