For those who like a dash of curry on their Lightfoot: https://soundcloud.com/andy-gassaway/oh-linda-gordon-lightfoot-cover

https://soundcloud.com/andy-gassaway/whered-she-go New old honky tonk. The solo was played on a Warmoth Jazzmaster.

I use a Blonde pedal for my preamp, power amp, and speaker sounds when recording. I'd like to use it live. What would be the difference between using, say, a 12" powered wedge and a Tech 21 Power Engine? It seems that aside from the crossover, they'd be pretty similar, while the wedge would have...

Thanks! I should probably specify I am using this for guitar.

A Tech 21 Blonde is the heart of my rig, but I need an amp for situations where the PA sucks or is not provided at all. There's a great deal on an Ampeg 210 bass combo near me, and I'm wondering if any of y'all have had experience running an emulator/modeler/whatever through a bass amp. I...

Hey man, I'm getting back into playing out and was thinking about buying one of these. The sound I need is something potentially loud n' clean for a CCRish sound. I've never played a Bandit, but I get the feeling it might fit the bill?

Thanks, y'all. I've been a combo user forever, so this is great info. I play clean (as in "at about 40% volume or less") for the most part, so it sounds like my plan might do just fine.

Okay, the only stupid questions are ones you don't ask, right? So: What happens if you pair, say, a 44W head with a 30W cab? Nothing much? Nuclear blast? I'm trying to put together a very portable setup, just wondering if anyone can impart some knowledge here...

Just wanna chime in and say I love the stencil on the tube. I give a damn about some trumpet-playin' tube.

fdesalvo: Do you use that speaker yourself?

Thanks, everyone. I'll give those a look. Sounds like a much simpler solution than trying to use a 10" speaker. I'm a lame guitar player, not a great carpenter.

I have a Silvertone 1481 with an 8" Jensen Mod speaker. When I bought it, it had a Pyle that had been partially eaten by mice. Anyway, while the amp has great clean sounds at a moderate volume, the cranked tone is harsh and raspy. I love lo-fi sounds, but it would be nice to have a little more...

Thanks! And howdy, neighbor! **SOCAL FORUM SOLIDARITY**

This song makes me wish my car was faster.

Spacey rumination on the Perfect Plastic Zenith Repair Sign phenomenon of Oklahoma and Kansas. https://andygassaway.bandcamp.com/track/zenith-repair

There is now. If you go to the original link, I added a download button. Feel free to distribute to friends, colleagues, Clive Davis, family, whoever likes good old-fashioned rock and roll.

Thanks, everybody. In spite of my short attention span, that's always been one of my favorite tunes, too.

Sort of a backwoods take on Brian Eno's "By This River," recorded with a Warmoth jazzmaster and an Ibanez Musician bass. https://soundcloud.com/andy-gassaway/on-this-river-brian-eno-cover

As an unofficial follow-up to my post from last week, I'll ask: why do you (or don't you) bother with expensive, bulky, delicate records in 2015? I bother with them bigtime, but it's for admittedly completely unscientific reasons. For one, it helps me appreciate music much more. It's way too...

Seriously considering a U-Turn Orbit, made domestically by a small Kickstarted outfit on the East Coast. Looks like they put great care into the arm, and the rest is as bare bones as it gets. Exposed belt drive, etc., under 200 bucks.
