"With this amph I get no screaming solos"

This thread brings tears to my eyes.

I was a lurker at the time that SS first posted this. I joined in March 2006.

Oh gosh its that time of the year again when we have to *bump* the "With this amph I get no screaming solos" thread, just in case anyone of our new members have missed it and dont understand why a fret.net amp is spelled amph. God bless brother Dustin, and may his solos scream for many years to come!

Thanks, makes my comment to Eric easier to understand and saves me the trouble of trying to explain it and risk something being lost as the story is passed on.

Thanks for bumping this one! Never saw it before. Now I see, said the blind man...Explains alot! Great stuff!

does anyone else think this guy sounds like a guitar store employee? putting one amp down to make you buy an MG?

Now I understand the whole "amph" thing. I had been under the assumption that it was just an elitist way of standing out from all the other forums.

Awesome!

Awesome!

When I first saw it being used, I thought it was European spelling - you know, humour.

If we do make TheFret t-shirts we have to have them say

"With this amph I get no screaming solos"

on the back.

Or more simply "It's spelled AMPH!"

Three letters: L S D

Lucy In The Sky With diamonds?

i think Walter Becker would have done some good 'screaming' solos if he'd wanted to.

That'd do.

Really a priceless one.

BTW Ibanezjunkie, here in Finland as well as in Britain/UK it's my understanding its pretty easy to spot from one's speech whereabouts he or she is from. I can tell a person is from any of the 5 regions of Finland in just a few words. Same as you can usually spot a Londoner with not a lot of d's in the words etc...not so easy in the U.S. although I can usually guess who's Californian from their nasality and a Texan very often too...and was it in Philly where people seemed to swallow all the K's...but not that often these traits translate to written language.

**ibanezjunkie** · July 20th, 2009, 05:31 AM

the UK has 4 parts:

England
Scotland
Wales
Northern Ireland

every seems to think all english people talk cockney/with a london accent when most of us sound very simelar some some american/canadian people. Dave carrol who did the united hates guitars vid has a similar voice to the voices around here.

scottish people have a an unusual prenounciation of some letters, giving them a very disitinct accent, so does N. Irish people and Welsh people have a very exhasperated tone of voice, which usually comes across as very camp.

theres a whole bunch of regional accents within england, northern accent, west country or 'farmer' accents, etc.

but none of us talk like the guy in the review =]

Spudman*** · July 20th, 2009, 07:54 AM

When both you guys start saying "amph" instead of just spelling it that way then everyone will know exactly where you are from...thefret.net.

**Monkus** · July 20th, 2009, 08:31 AM

I always wondered...rotflmao doesn't quite describe my reaction....hilarious !!!

X2 on the T-shirt idea...!!!
