Let it B
Amp (dsl40c) came about 2 hours ago. Unbox, and plug it into my cab, and three things ...
1) surprised how much more low end..
2) Thought the green crunch mode would have more gain. But is big and fat and lives up to the classic moniker. Very JMP/JCM 2203/4-ish. It still has enough for me. Will use a Pedal goose for leads as I have done forever.
3) Red channel is much more thin and razor sharp. Buzzy bees tone. New tubes should help, but I didn't buy it for the ultra gain channel.
I jam around a bit at 40w and master at 11 oclock. Dial in. Sounds awesome. Drop to 20w and up master to between 12-1 oclock... Surprisingly good too. Even at 20w triode, it sounds so much better to me than my OR15 at full power.
Jam around for another 30 min.
glance out the window...See a state trooper drive up my street/up the mountain. I have a city cop for a neighbor, so not unusual for his buddies to be over.
2min later...city cop creeps up the mountain.....
Hmmmmm...
2min later...state trooper creeps down the mountain...
Rut Roh Raggy....
2 mi later state cop creeps back up the mountain and the city cop creeps down...
I shut the amp off and slam the door to my music room...which is carpeted and a big bed should be absorbing some db too....but...
I go outside to get the mail..of course the mail has been there for hours, but I figure I will take a looksee and see if they ask any questions on the next pass....as Im walking down the driveway...down comes another city officer, a flatbed with a car on it, a state trooper, and there is a guy in the backseat. They must have busted him, and towed the vehicle....IDK.
LOL..WTF...what a coinkydink...Damn near crapped my drawers...
