setup for the day. looking to replace the ac4tv with a roland jc-40 soon.

'78 Jazzmaster -> Focusrite Solo -> Sony WM1000XM4


Finally got to try the fabled NAM (Neural Amp Modeling) and I gotta say, it took 5 minutes to set up and I am super impressed!!!

Despite trying it in a cafe (lol, they were kind enough to not throw me out) through my headphones, I got usable tones in minutes. I hope I'll get to do a demo video today as well.

Nice! I was not aware of this. Just send to my bandmate who is a coding nerd who dabbles in in-the-box sims.

Sweet guitar too!

I bought a lil’ rat for no other reason than having this cute collection of mini classics. All three sound great as well, which is a pleasant surprise.

i have a lil rat and i quite like it. i love the proco rat circuit but i've found no 2 ever sound the same (well behave the same) but my lil rat is the closest i've ever found to my trusty rat II (which i need to repair again)

That'll be nice when it's finished. I've been loving my old Roland CH-60 Cube, but I still dream of a stereo version.

Nice Budvar!

Hahaha, good eye! (And good beer)

It's my go to go beer about 90% of the time

Ric 330 -> Cranked up '63 Ampeg Jet.

That's all. It was glorious.

Getting a lot of mileage out of this setup, with the Jag (SD Quarter Pound pickups) into a Hex Micro T…

I have this homemade 1x12 with Black Shadow c90 in it that I use with my JCM800 2204 as my main live amp/cab setup. The cab is kinda gnarly but sounds great, however being homemade it has some quirks and one of them is the speaker connection: there is a cable with jack male connector wired directly to the speaker instead of traditional input jack. One of pros of that setup is, that I didn't have to worry about losing the speaker cable ) however it broke off the speaker yesterday just prior to our gig, rendering my setup cab less. There was luckily a in house Deluxe Reverb, but it wouldn't turn on !! In the end, I ended up usingbit as a cab for the Marshall and it sounded surprisingly great!! I liked the looks of that setup even more than it's sound tho

Wow, that rushed a memory back into my brain out of nowhere! I used to do almost exactly the same thing almost monthly as a teenager! Circa 1997-ish we played a venue called The Boat Race in Cambridge City about once a month and they had a late-70s SF Twin Reverb as part of the 'backline' that never, ever seemed to work so people just used it as a cab...of which I used to pop my JCM800 into.

Nothing quite like hustling a rig together in a pinch to teach you the lesson of flexibility.

All the Fender Blender buzz today had me pull out my fuzz board for a "no trippy gimmicks, let's see if you can still do some raw fuzz" playing. Oh, it was so good. First one's a Bazz Fuss, second one's a Companion Fuzz.

But that Fender Blender, boy oh boy. Turn on the boost, kick out the blocks, and crank up that roar.

What a great board. I love the Fender Blender. It is one of the first pedals with two switches.

A day later...

"Headphones rehearsal" today - living room setup. eDrums and amp sim pedals through an old Mackie mixer, but this rig alone got us pretty far into a trippy, fuzzed out space jam for about 30 minutes.

I love this guitar, coming up on its' 15th birthday soon, and it's never let me down.

I had one of the RI Blenders when they were new. Didn't really understand it so I sold it and still dearly miss it. I've been watching the market on them for a few years, hoping to catch one at a good price but the prices just slowly creep up and up.
