I was faced with your exact dilemma 2yrs ago, and here's where I ended up. Because my T-Verb is a '94, everyone told me not to ever sell it....and it's been such a great amp for me. But it's just too damn big for most applications these days and I really wanted a Mark V:35. So here's how I...
Never been a big QR fan, but that documentary is just SO great for anyone into the music of that era. It introduced me to what a great guy Frankie seemed to be, and did a great job telling their (helluva great) story. RIP Frankie.
I need to re-buy Blizzard on CD. Is the only version available still the 'Sharon made the drums get re-done because she's the devil' version?...or can is it easy to get the original? (yea I know...I can Google it, but..)
PS: I've always liked Diary way more, and not just the tones.
Holy Hell this stuff sounds great! SO great hearing them in their hungry launch. It's all like living VH1 "live in front of your steaming ears". Thanks for sharing this stuff guys!
I have about 8-10 times in the last year...and I'm now realizing it's too damn big for what I'm doing. Here I thought I'd be adding pedals on and doing a bunch of sh*t (early 2018 viewpoint)... and now I see all of this wasted space making me out of breath when I bring it somewhere.
That...
Made a silly mistake, but I'm still fine with it....as my medical condition (& COVID!!) has stopped my gigging for a while. I THOUGHT I'd be smart and buy a big board with both room for my main amp footswitch (which I've always wanted to incorporate onto my board) and growing room for more...
VERY cool! I agree with the Cheap Trick reference above, but I'm definitely hearing a QOTSA vibe big time...which I love. Killer melody - good song - good video - fun vibe. Xcellent work!
I agree with all of your points except "-In a blind test, many would not even be able to tell the difference between a modeller and a tube amp these days.". Maybe if "many" includes drunk girlfriends, but I don't think that's what you're saying. While I agree modellers are tricking many in...
I never said that ESPs are shit, I said substandard...as in less-than-standard. I put them in the same class as Ibanez or Peavey. All are good instruments worthy of doing any job or creating any sort of musical magic, which is all a guitar should need to be capable of.
My 'substandard'...
