So this is what's bringing you back to OSG to post? :P

Roland cubes are better suited for sweet synth sounds and Cure stuff as opposed to blues lawyer licks. GET WITH THE PROGRAM.

i know man, you're right on that. This one is the reverb-a-havin model so it's just like good for keyboards or whatever but i tried it out with my guitar for a while.

i've logged on a good bit over the last few months just haven't posted because i haven't had anything to say that wasn't political

Too funny. I now understand the term Blues Lawyer !!

https://www.urbandictionary.com/define ... %20Lawyer

That's who GuitarGuitar in the UK manage to sell unbelievably expensive Custom Shop Gibsons and PRS Private Porn Stock signed by "The Difficult Man himself" to.

I've learned something :D

yes, those are the guys that inflate the vintage guitar market. Most of them can barely play at all.

'merica!

here you would pay top dollar for that, sadly.

saying this I used to have the 80watt version (the better version of the two) and I thought it sounded pretty good with guitar for a solid state, but I do prefer any amp that has extra low end.
If OSG has tort me anything...

Blues Lawyer
Term used to describe the target market for very expensive guitars, the implication being that the only people who actually buy them are rich hobbyists and not actual gigging musicians.

"The Les Paul Supreme has a list price over 6 grand, clearly intended only for the blues lawyers."
Ugh six grand for a guitar? Fuck that noise.

Congratulations! Any free amp is a great amp!

BTW There aren't enough gigging musicians to keep the domestic industry alive. Fender, Gibson, et al, local music stores, will go the way of Mosrite, Carvin, etc. We'd all be getting our gear from alibaba.com. Viva la avocat de blues.

I hang around dumpsters anyway just in general and I never find anything good.
This is an excellent rectangle
