I just want the food

You are more than welcome to come to the next one

PS: Was one of @harddriver 's Marshalls yours at one point? They all sounded great.

I must say the BBQ spread that 311Boogieman laid out was excellent! He is the Grillmeister!

It had been so long since I had eaten food grilled over real charcoal I forgot that great smokey flavor it imparts!

No....but I did build my 1984 Cameron 50 watter to replicate Dave's old 50 watter Cameron HG Jose he had years ago as close as I could get, I had pulled chassis pics of that amp from someone that owned Dave's old amp after he sold it....and then added a few tweaks of my own to get it where I wanted it.

You may get your chance...we're talking about a west coast ampfest. Jeremy Redplated doesn't know it yet but it's at his house lol not kidding

That is so badass!!! Always cool to see stuff like this.

Here are some videos from a 'floor cam'. This was my Zoom 4KnQ2 that was turned on at some point and was mostly set and forget. If we do this again, I will get a little more sophisticated with this aspect. I also have some cell phone videos. Sadly did not use my SM57 nor get any recordings of the Mezzabarba. I don't have the energy to describe the videos in detail but I did do some labling. Basically:

Questions? Ask away

Did you guys have a favorite boost(s) or did it really vary depending on the amp? I see you guys had a Boss SD-1 along with a VFE Standout and some EQ pedals amongst others. Looks like a great time

I wouldn't say favorite. I had a newer SD-1 and @harddriver had an older one I believe. I had a Koko boost, Dirty Tree and Bad Monkey on hand as well and we didn't even get into that tbh. Barely enough time to go through all the amps and bbq. There are a few parts where @harddriver is playing my Dual Rec and he switches it on and made a comment I think about how he liked that best. Lately, I have been playing my amps with no boost anyway.

Overall though, I do not believe a boost was on for most of that. @harddriver can help more there. We put him in charge of coordinating signal chains. Great question though.

You were the 6th person on my list but DMs are limited to 5

Harddriver had a Tube Screamer which sounded nice in front of the Brown. I had a '79 Block Logo D+ on hand but never broke it out.

Yeah, time goes by so quickly when you get together like this. That's why I was pushing to try things, because I know how fast time flies!

Worked out great. We got to hear everything. And there was a lot of stuff.

Too bad I live in PA near Philly.

 

[311boogieman]

Oh, and I got to meet up with @rsm the following weekend for a quick hello over lunch.

If I get back down that way I'll try to expand that a bit. Always good to meet an online friend.

 

[rsm]

Looks like a great time with good people and great gear.

We're all over the map, so tough to get together.

Anyone in the Southeast? I can get to Atlanta, Charleston, and Jacksonville, FL, and areas in between....anywhere beyond would need more planning.

That was discussed in a phonecall later. Looks like you're going to miss out twice then, bummer
