Greetings all,
I've just joined this site, so I thought I'd say hello. I first started playing a good 24 years ago, stopped playing in my 20's and got back into it in the last couple of years or so. This time round my main "quest" is to just write some decent tunes with a bit of punch, kind of like Springsteen on steroids or Robertson-Gorham era Thin Lizzy (as you have probably already guessed I'm approaching 40 :)).
Gear-wise, my main guitar has become an Epiphone SG-400 (the triple humbucker version), which just rocks, a sweet guitar. I also have a Gibson LP standard, but I actually prefer the SG tone. I have a POD which I use for jamming at home and I recently just went FX mad and built a bunch of BYOC pedals. So now I have a Screamer, Red Llama, Big Muff and Green Ringer clones, as well as a Tremulus Lune tremolo. If I had to choose just one of those pedals, it would definitely be the Red Llama. Has a nice kick that tames up when you roll off the volume. I also have a couple of Maxon pedals (70's era compressor and phaser).
My "other hobby" is weight-training, which I take pretty seriously. My wife seems to appreciate the results anyway :)
Well, my apologies for the long-winded intro. I hope to stop in every now and then to see what's up.
Cheers.
