Sweetwater Card paid off again. They still owe me a Guv’nor. Not gonna buy anything more from them this year…..I think. Candy going downhill a bit lately. New ownership I suppose. My rep is still there and doesn’t ever call me. This is not a bad thing. GC on the other hand calls me all the...

You can always email him from Reverb or eBay also. He responds pretty well on both.

Even JMP’s, JTM45’s, JCM800’s, and Dual Rec’s all have three preamp tubes but he nails those. My Mahaffay HiLo Watt Plexi nails modded Plexi (up to just about perfect VH1 levels) with a single preamp tube. Multiple gain stages (normal/bright/gain) very distinct in it and it uses just the one...

I still have all my A.S. tube preamps. JMP, JCM800, Jubilee, and the 4th I bought was the Recto (dual rec). I still want to get more. HiWatt and Orange Rocker. One of the best gambles I’ve taken buying gear. Most I’ve had over a few years now.

I’ve used digital modeling for about 20 years in some form or another. I like it ok but prefer analog. SS or tube or hybrid and can even include some digital fx and like cab modeling fine. It’s mainly the digital amps I’ve tried. They fall short to my ears and hands in a live playing situation...

I had one two week ban when I first signed up. I was really surprised that The Great Divide had crept into a gear forum. I didn’t think it would be so Twitter-esque but I guess it permeates everywhere. Linked-In surprised me for getting like that too. Someone felt great reporting my posts for...

It’s all fun and games until you get that itchy posting finger…. Gotta get that post fix in!

Wizard Staff-point….

Hey Mark - getting tired of threads and posts whisked away at that other place too? Lol. I’m just checking it out here and followed along with someone recently banned over at the other place. Mod was tattling about his posts here so I thought it worthy to check this place out! Just stumbled on...

Lol. Just go over to TGP and look up Mark B.’s very long thread about something missing in the sound of just preamp to cab sim and you’ll find the introduction of Casey and his most awesome and much needed PAE-1 and you can follow along to me being a little skeptical all the way to owning 2 and...

Odd how?

You can always use a vpn and create sock puppet accounts like so many others do and even like and quote your own sock puppet account posts! Some don’t even try a little to cover it up. 🤣

I just found this place from some threads over at another forum. PAE-1 is still my favorite pedal to recommend. Absolute game changer of a pedal. Hey Casey. You should know my Fryette PS2 has not been used since buying the first PAE-1 back in March. The 2nd one has been the perfect pairing with...

Goal achieved. Have an “accomplishment beer” now! 😂
