    BTW, this is one of only 3 forums I posted this on that didn't result in a barrage of "You should get...", "Buy (an obscure cheese whistle amp) and (perform mods)".

    You guys kept to the topic, and seem pleased for me. Thanks!



    Oh, and it should be here on Monday.

    A great thing to see, provided it gets DELIVERED to your house. I've had stuff wind up on the next block from me....and I was in a panic because the website said DELIVERED......unfortunately, not delivered to me!! I finally got it but not without some worry.

    I stepped out to buy some strings, and it was here waiting for me.

    It's great! I prefer to have the "cab" open, though. Too boxy otherwise!


    Using my American Series Telecaster, I had no problem getting a credible "Funk # 49" tone (I have heard rumors that Joe Walsh used a Pignose for that song. I think that's pretty believable now).


    Measured the db output cranked, and freaked out! 90 to 95 db, and one chord rang at nearly 100! I wasn't expecting that. You can zap your hearing playing too long at those volumes! Total playing time was under 20 minutes, though, and most of that was at far lower volumes.

    Anyway, the Pignose sounds great, and it's a little monster. Seems like it was made for Telecasters!
