Re: Just picked up my first real amp!
I think someone posted a quote from the Telecaster handbook that said "It's just a plank of wood, you have to find the music in it", @ least something like that? I believe this "quote" to be very true in more ways than one. By that I mean that it not only pertains to guitars but all gear. I guess another one would be "an amp is just a box & some speakers, you make it sing", if you are only a few months into playing you prob. don't even know what sound you are looking for & even if you do that could change in a heartbeat, by just learning a new song or playing a different guitar? If you, Mallowpuff, were to come over to my house, I could hang a $10,000 guitar over you, plug you into a bunch of top of the line & boutique effects, & then into any of my very expensive & iconic in some cases, amplifiers. Oh, let us not forget all the rack gear!!! You wouldn't play any better than you do now & if you sounded any better the margin would be quite minimal. When I was younger I used to say "if I only had the money" & "I need one of these, its the answer to all my playing prayers"! You know, I think I played better when I was 17 than I do now & back then all my gear added up was prob. worth about $400? You just have to find the music brother, the gear will come & when it does you will understand that the gear accounts for about 10% of your sound, the rest comes from your heart, gut, & sometimes, if you are lucky, straight from the fruit of your loins!!! God bless you Bro., stick with it!!!!!!
