Don't worry, I'll be unbanned soon enough, and leave OneArmedRetard alone.

Why did you target him by the way, he was just expressing his opinion....and then turned into a showdown at the OK corral or something![]()

If you answered yes to those then I'm convinced the VM just isn't an amp you like. But yeah try those things and let us know Thump.
Oh no, I didn't try those at all. I just sat down with one 2 or 3 times in the store through a VM cab. Didn't use pedals or anything like that. I'll end up with one sooner or later, I'm sure of it.![]()

He's a douchebag that knows more about good guitar sound than most people I know. He has very good insights about a lot of amps, guitars, pickups and so forth...believe it or not.

D/FW XJ'er":1lt84h7t said:Fantastic. I invited him to come out in real life and show everyone what he means, however he bitched out of the event that's 3 months away.![]()
I'm driving 3.5 hours to get there, vs less than an hour for him.
He sounds like a keyboard wanker to me.![]()

Same goes about all the recording advice he's always giving out. I've heard him post 1 clip and it was a POD from what I recall.![]()

Let me know if you're planning to try one out and I'll throw out some settings for the amp that may be helpful. I know you're a Marshall guy and can't imagine you not liking the VM at least a little.

JamesPeters":38irhacs said:He simply doesn't have any reason to drive that far to hear amps he knows he doesn't like. That was his point.
Keep ragging on him, but it won't change anything.
JamesPeters":38irhacs said:He's used more amps/guitars/pickups than you know, then.
As for clips, I don't need to hear clips of his to know I agree with him on something (from my own experience).
D/FW XJ'er":t6oytf9x said:So a plethora of amplifiers ranging from boutique, hand wired to vintage, holy grail Marshalls/Fenders, to modern high gain of every flavor doesn't constitute a reason to drive less than an hour? The JVM was hardly the main amp at the last Austin Ampfest.
So, you just believe what he says on the interwebz??![]()

He has an amp that suits his needs, and we were only discussing the VM anyway. I don't know why you're taking this further than that.
I believe a lot of what he says because I talk to him regularly and we've exchanged a lot of gear. Just because we don't post about it here doesn't mean he hasn't tried a lot of gear. Also just because he hasn't bought and sold dozens of amps doesn't mean he's incapable of trying them first and deciding he doesn't like them, and then buying *one* amp he likes.I hardly consider that something to mock him for. A lot of people could learn from that.

He has tried lots of amps in real life. I know this because I know him in real life. Isn't that clear by now?
I don't even get this anymore.![]()
