    Default Gas Attack!!

    Well I think I might have gotten a bad one but my Vox AD50Valvetronic just was never pleasant sounding to me. I mean it was decent but it just didnt have the sound that pleased me. Granted I could get lots of different sounds which it did well but there was always the kind of decaying especially in the mids and highs. Maybe Im a dinosaur but its seemed "digital sounding" to me especially at low-med level with it set for a clean sound. So long story short I went with what I had originally had as my first choice a Tweed Blues Deluxe reissue, but thought Id try the new fangled stuff first and save a few $$$. Sheezus H Chrysler!!!!! what a nice amph!! I A/B tested them together and it was like night and day difference. My EC Strat sounds freakin fantastic!! BTW I darn near got the hand built 57 Tweed but felt 2000.00 was just too extravagant. I am now officially in Gitfiddle heaven. I can be loud but its just so darned clean no matter what level I play at. This one is the keeper for sure, barring blue smoke coming out the back!!

    Be careful Mark. Just when everything is going great, you have all your toys, you're playing licks like never before....along comes....a baby, a remodeling project, yard work, car maintenance, etc. All I'm saying is be careful. Play in secret if you have to to keep playing. Don't let anything come between you and your gear. When you figure out how to do this please tell the rest of us will ya?

    Congrats on the new amp.
