The gain channel has what they call the SuperSat™ circuit. It was the precursor to the TransTube. (It might well be the same thing with a earlier name.) But, it really works and does a nice job of compression and handling guitar vol changes.

They definitely have a sound of their own. Not Fender or Marshall that's for sure. Maybe that's why. It's refreshing to hear something a little different. Not the usual classic Fender sound & Marshall grind. The thing takes pedals well too. I run both an OCD and a Timmy to get some of those tones too. I may just run two amps, this clean with its awesome reverb and my Hoagland 18watt for its pure Marshall tone.

So, I'm running through the Denver Craig's List and I see this Peavey amp for $50. Mint condition. So, I pick-up what I thought would be a light, little amp that I could throw in the car and take to band practice. A crappy Peavey Bandit 75. Solid State. 2 channels, 12" Peavey Scorpion speaker. Weighs only about 25lbs. I figured for $50. how can you go wrong (It's actually in dead mint condition too) I thought what the hell, it sounded pretty good at the dudes house. So, I take it to band practice, plug in my 100x more expensive Huber Redwood and everyone's jaws dropped. The crazy little thing sounded freakin' awesome. Nobody could believe it sounded this good, even me. The clean channel is killer. I did some research on Harmony Central and every review raved about the clean channel and its amazing reverb. Bingo, they were right on. The Overdrive channel sounded pretty good too. It has their TransTube analog circuitry which actually sounds OK. But, in a mix, the thing just fit in and kicked butt. Just goes to show you, never diss something till you try it. My little find of the year.

So what do I win? A free PLEK would be nice?

Warren Haynes?

We've lost one of the very, very special people in the music biz.

I don't use it after the delay, just by itself. I kinda' thought it might be easier to hit on the router if it was on the end. I probably should have put it 2nd, next to the Timmy as it should be ahead of the other time-based effects. I think I'll redo it. Thanks for noticing!

Just re-did my pedal board. I think it came out pretty nice. What do you guys think?? - Line 6 X2 Wireless - RoadRage ProGear 2x1 Guitar Input Switcher (I can run my main wireless or a wired guitar) - RMC RC2 Wah - RoadRage ProGear 5-EFX Loop Switcher with Tuner/Mute output - Korg DT7 Tuner (w/Buzz Feiten mode) - Timmy Boost/OD - BYOC (Build your own Clone) Phase 90 - H2O Delay/Chorus - Demeter Tremulator - RedWitch Deluxe Moon Phaser - Fulltone OCD Boost/OD - ISP Deciminator Noise Reducer - NYC PedalBoard - 2 Dunlop DC-Brick Power supplies (with 9v & 18v outs) - George L's wire

I hope that guy is going to put them in a glass case and not use them. And is only buying them as a pure investment. Because if he thinks they are some kind of voodoo magic and the best pickups ever built and make him play like a rock star, he's sorely mistaken.

Happy Birthday!!

He plays a mean Harp too.

Wow, nice call. Yeah, they are sweet pickups!

Here's a Warmoth Tele that I put together. Kinda' cool.

This made me laugh and cry.

Nay. Loser.

More Birthday wishes from out West! have a great day guys!

Happy Birthday Gents!!! Two great guys on the board!

Really annoying. He's getting worse. Kris is tasteful, he gets my vote. (I actually wanted Allison)

I saw BB King last year. Terrible. (Not his playing which is limited) But, he talked for more than half the show! Sharon looked at me and said, "Is this a concert or Oprah"?

It could also be an RS Guitarworks relic'd reissue. (Those guys are that good) I got out of collecting vintage pieces as soon as I saw the first Cunetto Fender Relics. It scared me about collecting.

Here's #30 of 30 Redwood (Since passed on to another HFC'r)

I got the who shebang (mount and bigsby) for $120 shipped from Tonequest. They were finished with their review unit. Not a bad deal.

It's going on a Les Paul, The Tone quest review says it works perfectly. So, I'm going to give it a try. Just got it yesterday, but haven't had a minute to mount it yet. They used it in their review on a LP and really dug it. GE Smith is using them on his LPs too.

To continue the trem search, I just bought one of these. (I'll get it in a few days) I think this may be my solution to putting a temp trem on a stop-tail guitar. The Tonequest Report did a great review of it. Vibramate

Enjoy it!!! Happy Birthday!
