  1. Stereo reverb is cool. You don't need much, it doesn't have to sound like the grand canyon.
  2. Stereo Champs should be fun! The last few gigs I did were in stereo. I had separate loops in each amp. I should try three amps...
  3. Come on man...little kids make peddles.
  4. I thought it was like a Princeton, note speaker plugged into the amp.
  5. So they are hardwired. You could at least get advice about it from whoever you get it from. I got mine from Lark St. in Teaneck, NJ.
  6. Nah. Amp->speaker cable->THD attenuator->speaker cable->speaker. You just have to get the right box with the correct ohm rating for your speaker load. I don't know - the amp to speaker connections in my champ look a little hairy... You see...you didn't shave your amp, now it's too hairy and too loud. I thought a '70s Champ had cables and plus for connecting a speaker. Is it hard wired into the head and clipped on to the speaker?
  7. Too bad they don't make one with a 12" speaker, I'd have to use an external cab.
  8. Nah. Amp->speaker cable->THD attenuator->speaker cable->speaker. You just have to get the right box with the correct ohm rating for your speaker load.
  9. You might want to check out a THD Hot Plate to keep the volume down. My neighbors never complain.
  10. That's cool. They've modernized this reissue while retaining all the good things about the original. Tweaks include: Onboard overdrive and compression (The compression is quite nice and the overdrive is not half bad either). A "trans-impedance power attenuator" which allows you to take advantage of full tube overdrive at lower volume levels. Headphone jack. Speaker output jack. FX loop and four-button footswitch. For years the Princeton was my main practice amp. Around 2001, I added a 12" ported cabinet, then I replaced (but did not sell) the Princeton with a Univalve that has a bunch of those features. Lately I've been using a '67 Silverface Bassman with a THD attenuator to keep the volume down...like I said, I have a bunch of amps. What I really need in the amp dept., is an open cab with one or two 12"s. I was gigging with the ported cabinet and people were complaining about getting beamed. They should have moved to the side but I should be more responsible and get a cab that isn't going to bludgeon the folks sitting up front.
  11. Looks like piano hammers.
  12. That would sound funky, ele piano through a little gtr amp.
  13. Yeah, in lacquered tweed. This model hits the streets this Summer. I don't need another amp, but this is sweet.
  14. I have a bunch of amps already. I even have a early '70s Princeton.
  15. hammer toe.
  16. for a nice finish.
  17. cheap.
  18. Koa.
  19. tweed.
  20. hmm...
  21. Never heard of him. He should stop smoking. Very unhealthy. Even if it gives him a halo. I wonder what kind of guitar that is. Hagstrom maybe? Does he also wear white socks with sandals?
  22. plus some cash for a '52 Tele reissue this afternoon. That should fix the gear jones for now. I have a bunch of EQ I should trade or sell... My 52' tele reissue was been sitting in it's case for the last 3 years until last week. Dusted it off, put some new strings on it, and used it at an open jam last weekend. Should of done this sooner! Great guitar which I've been ignoring for too long. Please post your thoughts on the new axe when you get a chance. It's my 2nd Tele. This afternoon I'm getting a pair of DiMarzio Virtual T or Area T to kill that hum. I love it, I had a '52 reissue on loan for a year or so. The neck p/u with a compressor is a lot of fun, the notes just pop out and it gives the tone a glassy feel. Of course, not using a compressor is great too...always wanted one of my own. Can't beat that color... I ended up getting a set of Fender noiseless, I'm installing them this afternoon. $99. Never did find a set of Area Ts or Noiseless Ts.
