[...]The GearPage is Down!!![...]…

Steven–sure, let me know of the Verbzilla. And you already know my amp reco’s, a redone Blues Junior or a Vox hw. But also, if you can find a used Mayfly, those are really nice and chimey! And you actually might be able to find one now that the GearPage is back up!

Mark–good call!

James–lol So awesome.

Mike–ya, I’ve been meaning to look into that one. Great advice! That’d be great for real small venues or stages that for some reason want absolute silence.

Larry–haha I guess we gear junkies just gotta talk gear, GearPage or no GearPage.

Jeff–seriously, me too. I think I went to GearPage like 86 times over the last few days, just gazing it the ‘error’ page. It was the closest I could come to the real thing. lol

I am left aimlessly wondering the series of tubes that are the Internets…

Sorry. Still bitter lol

Check out http://www.frenzeltubeamps.com. I had the guy (Jim) make me a Deluxe type clone and it is truely wonderful. As a plus, the guy is a Christian. Can’t beat his prices for point to point tube amps.

I might be interested in the Verbzilla. Yes, I’m amassing a collection of pedals even though I don’t have a “real” amp yet I picked up a Boss DD20 this past weekend (had spend the rest of my “business expense” budget before April 1st lol So I’m up to a Zen (currently replacing the OD on my POD X3L), DD20, and an old MIJ Boss DS-1 (had this thing in my shredder days cause all good shredders swore by the MIJ DS-1…had to be Made in Japan, the regular ones were junk and cheap lol

Since so many tone freaks (that’s a compliment) frequent here and TGP is down…I am looking for a low watt tube amp with “voxy-chime” for low bills. Preferably a head. I’m accepting donations…remember, you’re not just giving away a Suhr Badger, you are playing a part in leading someone to Christ.

lol

Larry–actually, I totally agree with you! Maybe I didn’t make myself clear in that response. What you just said is exactly what I mean. They knew it ‘sounded better’ that day, or that the ‘band was clicking’ or something. They noticed the ‘right’ stuff when you used the Zen, even though they may not have known what exactly made that sound. And that’s the point! I would much rather have someone tell me the music sounded good, then that my overdrive had more presence in the mids. lol The presence in the mids is, of course, what helped make the whole picture sound better, but I want people to notice that whole picture, not focus on my guitar in general.

We’re saying the same thing, I think…I just probably didn’t express myself properly.

And I’ll let you know if any of your pedals could be of use to me! haha Feels like the good old emporiums!

Oh ya! The Verbzilla. Yikes, sorry for another long comment. But…uh…maybe it’s just my rig. I know you love it, and a lot of guitarists I respect (even some big names) use it and sound great with it. But as of now, it’s not really what I’m looking for. I might play it out before I sell it, though, just to make sure. I’ve been wrong in the past, and I definitely plan on being wrong many more times in the future! hehe

@matt: red= power, blue= ambience

@Karl: What did you think of the Verb?
I’m currently selling: Boss BD2 H20 Monte Allums mod (installed by CMATMODS), BBE Orange Squeezer, Boss DD3 stock, and Blackstone Appliance Mosfet Overdrive.
I’m going to run through my pedals tomorrow (spring break started tonight —weeeee!) and something else is getting the axe: maybe the Zen, Hermida Distortion, Barber Small Fry, Bixonic Expandora….
yeah, I did well on ebay.

Reason: Tim ready this month, and Toneczar ready at the end of this month. Need to free up funds
