The Amp Garage

Fane speakers help, too. Judging sound quality from a DVD or any recording for that matter is no way no how an accurate representation. What you'll hear is that amp through that mic in that room through that board on that day re-mastered to whatever the producer and the engineer who remastered it wa...

One of these dyas I got to pry loose the cash and buy a Fuchs. It's just one of those great amps where if you're into great amps it fills a slot. Homebrews are nice but it's also nice to have something with no compromises and no rough edges. On tweeds: I was just over to Southworth Guitars, yeah I g...

So I gotta raid The Cop Shop or pilfer the emergency room to get a deal on 'em? What's "stupid expensive", they can't cost more than real Plexi knobs! about 20 each. in my book, thats up there. germ Yeah, twenties are easier to carry than a pocket full of those knobs!

Even if they were all switched off my ears would still ring due to the abundance of cool gear in one location. It's Big News when many shops get a Dumble or a TrainWreck i...

Hitting the high points for those of you who didn't make it: The musicians were as impressive as the amps. During the e...

If you had some really cool and expensive gear how would you feel if every thieving scumbag out there could find you on a list somewhere?!

I'd rather play a "relic" 'cuz I like nice stuff but I feel bad about nice stuff gettin' beat up. If the guitar has had the crap beat outta it I don't have to worry about puttin' the first scratch in it. And although I like nice stuff I usually only can afford beat up crap so I'm glad fashion has fi...
