First off, i'd like to thank TheJangus for dealing with me and packing it like a champ!!! seriously cool to deal with!!!
now...the amp!?
IT'S D-E-A-D MINT in condition...looks better than new and it's gorgeous...Blondes are HOT and this one is Marilyn Monroe hot! (in fact i think i'll call her Marilyn...yeah, i know, i'm nuts...i even name my amps!:laugh2: )
Next...it sounds great! so clean and yet it retains the layers you'd expect in a really nice amp...so i played around with it just seeing how clean and crisp i could get her and then i plugged in the Tech 21 TRI-OD (thanks CaptainCrunch)...WOW...it really made this amp "special"...the tri-od has a tweed, calif, & british setting, each with it's own volume and drive controls and then the pedal itself has a volume, bass & treble. After a few tweaks with the amp and the pedal i was getting a FULL, rich deep clean sound with just the right amount of verb via the "tweed" setting (reminded me of a bassman)...nice for intros, picking and light strumming and bluesy stuff...then i had the "calif" setting dialed in for major crunch and munch and at a higher volume for switchin from the tweed channel to do some serious riffing and lead work...it makes this little amp chug and plug beyond my wildest expectations...and then the "british" setting has plenty of dynamics and cutting ability for any lead or harmonics licks...my only complaint is that the amp itself doesnt' have a pedal that i can turn the "verb" on and off when i want...that would be PERFECT! i can only imagine how great it would sound with a speaker uprgrade...say one of those Eminence Wizards that Lew was raving about...that would probably set this amp over the top!!!!
needless to say...i'm happy as a mole in soft dirt right now...!!!
well...gotta go...more playing to do!
Again...thanks to TheJangus and CaptainCrunch...i went from no amp for about a year now to NEW STUFF ROCKIN!!!
later,
mike
p.s. yes, i already know this thread is useless without pics...i'll get some up this weekend!!!
