Yes, but much like a train crash I cant stand to watch but dare not look away.

Yes, you could almost compare it to a volcanic eruption, followed by an earthquake and then a deluge.
It was really amusing last night, that's why I stayed up until 6 am German time.
I would have been annoyed that I might have missed something here ?‍♂️?

One thing I do know, is that I will be using "You passionate women's urine drinker" as an insult today the first chance I get!

That wasn't an insult, but his words when we exchanged our private preferences one night years ago.
But it's ok if it fulfills and satisfies him ?‍♂️
The funniest thing for me however was that he caused such a huge uproar because of a cheap protective grille worth 25 euros, which is completely unimportant for the function of the amp and which is actually not part of the standard equipment of this amp, and therefore publicly accused me of being a liar and a cheat ?
What words would he choose if something really fatal happened to him in his life?
Apparently he has to create completely new words for this case?

I like to think of it as a classic whodunnit where my powers of discernment are challenged to their fullest. Paranoia is rampant and I dont know who to trust or what to believe. I almost feel like I'm running scared with nowhere to turn.

This thread has been more challenging to me than my work this week and I'm not even getting paid for it.

See that's exactly what I'm talking about. You could be on the dark side and then get the $43 in my bank which would spell the end for me and my family. Until I get some closure, nobody in this thread is getting my bank details. I need to read the next chapter first.

Damn! Now you caught me and saw through my plan ?
And I've inadvertently revealed myself as a liar and a cheat :doh:
Well, as long as you know that, it's not that bad...
... but please for God's sake don't tell this anyone else, or I'll be ruined :D

I have a feeling something was lost in translation there..

No, nothing was lost in the translation.
Only I didn't tell everything that he had revealed to me about his private preferences.
I didn't want to do that to him, because that would have been really mean of me :sneaky:

Makes sense because, "passionate women's urine drinker" doesn't exactly roll off the tongue.

see what I did there ?

Marshall 100 watt NO master volume. Try it sometime it will probably scare ya. :eek:

Marshall is the keyword ?

What doesn't scare me, but really inspires me is my little JCM800 SC20H - but not as a high gain sound, but played absolutely clean via its low input.

I supplied the baby with NOS Mullard ECC83 shield logo yellow print I61 preamp tubes and NOS Genalex GEC KT77 power tubes.

The clean sound is simply fantastic ?
Wiry, slim and concisely crystalline, but still pleasantly soft.

I had never heard such a great clean sound before and had never been able to produce it with any other amp - neither with my orig. 65' black face Fender Twin Reverb, nor with my DINO 962's California channel ?‍♂️

Incidentally this amp is the very first amp I've ever bought new in my entire life - I absolutely had to have it ?

I actually like both of these amps without an OD pedal out front.

Mark IV definitely. Anything Monomyth... I need to replace my monomyth. After I settle up on my Alta I hope to replace it.
