I just buy a cheap humidifier off Amazon and run it 24/7 till it wears out. Tap water will coat everything in white dust so I use distilled water now.....kind of a pain but it beats the new Mexico alternative.
My post was who inspired me to pick up a guitar, not what proficiency I shot for. Both Tom DeLonge and Billy Joe Armstrong can and rightly should be credited with pushing a massive amount of people to pick up guitars from my generation. Sorry that ruffles your feathers.
Wouldn't the 180w RMS power cook a traditional guitar cab, or am I missing something? My mini recto cab is rated for 60w and my 2x12 is rated for 120w I believe. An ax8 plus that ISP seems exactly what I'm looking for to noodle around with once I pickup a p24.
I went from a 1x12 mini recto cab with my RV25 head to a 2x12 vert cab and loved the change so much the 2x12 became my goto cab for all my amps! Now I just need to buy a combo to head conversion shell from Mesa! :rock:
Form factor for one. I don't want to set up a rack and would prefer to use the ax8 with my archon live as an FX processor in 4 cable method and then use the modeling with a P24 or something so I cab use the amp simulation for electric and acoustic sounds.
I have yet to talk to someone who thinks that their Private Stock PRS was a purchase they regretted. I am sure you can buy any top end axe at almost any price point. A skilled luthier is worth their weight in gold and I assume they get paid quite well for what they do.
I myself will probably...
I have been using a Line 6 DL4 for a while now, its pretty neat but have been itching to play around with some flashbacks, but then again, I am a tc electronic junkie. Their looper, reverb, chorus, and tuner are all on my pedal board currently. :rock:
Ding ding ding x1000 especially with a recto. Rule of thumb with these amps, as volume comes up bass must come down or it will be a big flubby mess. When I play at volume with a band my bass knob sits at about 9 o'clock.
I treat my archon as a single channel amp, as I have yet to find an amp that responds better to volume pot roll. It's quite fun discovering new things about non Mesa amps!
about 15 years with a few breaks in between, started with the wrong genre though, so definitely playing catch up now.
Also, this thread is quite annoying to browse on a smart phone due to the douchey massive picture signature higher up...
Love me some PRS! That color is great! Let me know what you think of the 85/15 pickups! (If it's a 2016 model anyway). My next PRS will be a faded whale blue P24 if I can find it with the right options, meaning a natural neck and back.
