Thundernotes 663 Posted November 26, 2007 Share Posted November 26, 2007 Just over 15 hours for me. It's entirely possible that I could make it. I've been meaning to get out to Champaign, IL which is only 3hrs away. Maybe this will work out. Link to post Share on other sites

cmatthes 20,242 Posted November 26, 2007 Share Posted November 26, 2007 Butcher is everywhere...I have seen the flux capacitor in his red BMW convertible though - I think that is the secret ingredient. Link to post Share on other sites

MCChris 10,312 Posted November 27, 2007 Share Posted November 27, 2007 This was noted at past midwest Jams & I did not hear any one balk then?I thought you said this was a BIG room, brah. Link to post Share on other sites
Thundernotes 663 Posted November 27, 2007 Share Posted November 27, 2007 This was noted at past midwest Jams & I did not hear any one balk then? It's your party - lay down the law! Who wants ear-bleeds from "I want you to surrender" or "Mustang Freebird" anyway? If this "big room" is akin to a high-school gymnasium, volume is automatically going to be a problem. If I might offer a suggestion: backline the stage with an assortment of pre-approved amps and be done with it. I've done this at weekly jam sessions with great success. It also reduces change-up time between acts dramatically. One overpowered instrument f***s up the whole mix for everybody. You have the right idea. Link to post Share on other sites

Where is it written that a 100-watt amp has to be turned up all the way? My 6V6 Valvetechs are only 22 watts; if you don't think they can knock down a horse at 10 paces, you're mistaken. Besides, like I said, Johnny's just wanting maximum clean headroom for those Knopfler-esque lines he likes to play. Link to post Share on other sites
kizanski 15,209 Posted November 27, 2007 Share Posted November 27, 2007 "I want you to surrender"LOL! Link to post Share on other sites
silentman 128 Posted November 27, 2007 Share Posted November 27, 2007 Certainly low powered amps are not much quieter volume wise than there higher powered cousins. Like chris said - it's a definitely a headroom thing. Link to post Share on other sites
MCChris 10,312 Posted November 27, 2007 Share Posted November 27, 2007 And another thing: drummers and sound guys dictate volume, not guitar players. Link to post Share on other sites
