Amp Show in Los Angeles this weekend!

[Gearjoneser]

This is a heads up to all Southern California amp junkies! Loni Spector's 3rd Annual LA Amp Show. I went to the first one with Curly, missed the second one, but will definitely be checking out amps this year. Luckily, it's held at the Van Nuys Airtel Hotel right next to where I work!

If anyone is going, let me know, so we can meet up and check out amps!

Dammit!!! I'm playing a show that night and rehearsing and prepping gear all day!! ARGH!! I could've really gotten a lot of good test drives out of that, too.

Try EVERYTHING. I will be questioning you in detail.

In particular I'd like to hear your thoughts about 65's Royal Albert (what does it sound like) and Marquee (does it sound like a bigger London or does it have it's own thing?). And be sure to try the 'memphis' 4x6V6 prototype.

Also be sure to give the Swart Super Space Tone 30 a thorough going over if you see it too.

Have a great time. My amp importer friend and I are quietly gutted we won't be there. One day...

I'll be spending some time in the 65 Amps room. I'm also really excited to hear the new models.

I'm just bummed that Bogner is never at these amp shows. I want to try a Duende. He really has no excuse for not showing up. His company is only 5 miles away. I'm assuming he doesn't care, because Bogner is doing fine, and he's going to make a boatload of money off Line 6 this year.

I tried a Duende in a small shop down here called The Guitar Shoppe. It's actually in Laguna Beach. Sweeet amp! Really rich and sweet sounding, perfect for blues and classic rock, and was capable of some gnarly ZZ Top-ish tones when cranked on the gain.

Yeah, it's fairly well established that Reinhold is eccentric (read: successful nutcase). He probably doesn't want to deal with dudes getting all religious in front of him, and seeing as he doesn't have to hustle...

I'm very interested in the Duende as well. Those Blues Saraceno clips on the bogner site are outstanding.

Be sure to check out Goodsell if they're there. Also Germino and Metropoulos ...

(just checked the list. Swart, goodsell and Metro are all there. What a good time!)

Also, go on the Line 6 website and watch the video interview with Reinhold Bogner. It's easy to see how eccentric he is.....always wearing funny pants etc.

Bumping this thread, since the Amp Show is tomorrow.

See you there, Curly. If anyone else is going, shoot me a PM.
