Why can't Akira Takasaki use an amp as cool as what we have?

It's nice to see most people in this thread "get it." Great player with average "pro" gear and well-known songs etc. > than *any* forum-approved boutique gear played by a hack with no songwriting ability whatsoever. Gear is nice, I'm very grateful to get to play/own the gear I have. But... would anyone *really* care if I had to sell my rig and played a jvm/stock strat or lp and a boss delay? Nope, only the few guitarists in the back with their arms crossed

...still not gonna make that move unless I *have* to though

This thread should be a sticky...just as a helpful reminder.

I'm tired of worrying if my tone is great out front on gigs...nobody cares much anyway, seriously. They only notice if it really sucks. They just want us to play the songs they like and not fuck up.
My bass player thinks I have a sickness with this 'tone' thing.

Just freakin' play!

No kidding man. I say this over and over... any of the amps talked about on this or other forums is MORE than adequate for gigging much less guys who play at home exclusively. To go through the merry-go-round is counter-productive to playing.

You don't need to have a $4k amp to get the job done.

For sure...I use the Electra Dyne one night, the Peters Polaris the next, the Vox AC15 with some nice expensive pedals....
My bass player says "you always sound good, I don't get it, why do you keep changing amps? Why do you own more that one amp anyway?"

A voice of reason....listen to it.

Yep... I get a similar kind of response... from other guitar players no less.
"Sounds like you..."

I once played this jam-band-night thing at a local club, and was using a Bogner Alchemist combo with 1 or 2 pedals on front. Great.

Then I traded the amp for something I really can't remember now, and had to set up a new "rig". So I put together my Carvin Quad-X, Mesa 20/20, TC G Major, two 1x12 Mesa cabs, bought a new Wah (Bad Horsie), MXR Tremolo, MXR 12 EQ, Radial ToneBone, MXR Zakk Wylde OD, BOSS Stereo Chorus, BOSS Octaver, MXR Smart Gate, MXR Compressor, BOSS Volume, Korg Tuner, and a MIDI controller. Packed it all onto a pedal board and a rack case ordered from the US.

I turn up with it all, and the singer/acoustic guitar asks me if I have a license for all that stuff, and shakes his head in amazement.
After the night is over I ask him: So... Cool new setup, eh?

"Yeah sure. You sound like you always sound."

I suppose in a way all this reminds me a little of the oil Sheiks I see down here when they are on holiday.

Some of them bring over a whole plane full of their cars. And getting the newest Ferrari isn't enough. They need to have them customised so they are different from all the other ones. 24 karat gold paint and what have you.
It goes a bit over board, and at the end of the day it has nothing to do with the joy of driving. Just too much time and money.

First of all in response to whoever said this thread should be stickied, I started this thread, so that's redundant.

Secondly in response to Vlad, Adam and Shreder (not guilty in this frickin' thread, YET) please don't quote the entire string of threads in your responses. For crying out loud I'm getting carpal tunnel syndrome trying to scroll through the 38 posts you are quoting just to get to the single new sentence you are adding to it. My two Splawn brothers are the most guilty of it and make entire threads almost unreadable with this chicanery. Adam we can cut some slack to cuz he's Canadian and only knows NHL rules and not forum behavior, but Matt and Vlad make me want to jump out the freaking window with this...... fortunately I'm on the first floor right now.

Thank you! I love conforming. I fold like a house of cards in the face of peer pressure.. LOL!
By the way, what's the current record? 26 feet? LOL!

Well,
I wired it up like a 2203. With a 2.7k/.68uf on both sides of the 1st tube (stock it's on the one side and a 10k resistor on the other). I added a cap for a resonance boost and put a .68uf cap across the 3rd gain stage. That's a common thing seen on alot of stock Marshalls. Sometimes they put them in, sometimes they didn't. I like how it sounds. Adds more midrange growl. Then I put new filter caps on it. I lowered the preamp and pi caps values, also something that was done on older plexi's. I put those Sozo Royal 67s 100uf caps on the screens and grids, again those were common values on old Plexi's.

That's that. It fucking rocks... LOL!

Curt, you happy? LOL!

I am! Now page 3 might not end up 27 feet long. I applaud your conformist behavior. Now let's talk about those mods inside your Super Lead.

Thank you! I love conforming. I fold like a house of cards in the face of peer pressure.. LOL!
By the way, what's the current record? 26 feet? LOL!
