My amp...touched me.

There I was, just playing when I decided to tweak a few settings on my head. So, I'm turning the dials on my Walkabout, kneeling right in front of the Epifani 212. I boost the bass a bit, cut the mids and treble, then fiddle with the parametric EQ. I prepare myself to play a smooth little groove on the E and A strings, some rock pedalling. I begin to play...and the air rushing from the speakers from a gritty high gain overdrive is almost orgasmic, literally. I could feel that air rush through my pants and touch my bathing suit area.

My amp...touched me right there.

Did you actually see the amp reach out and touch you? Or did you feel the touch and yet not see anything? Reason I ask is I suspect the EQ changes disturbed a demon, and the demon was what actually touched your naughty bits.

I would be VERY careful about using that EQ setting again. Check the knob settings? Is Bass at 6, Mids at 6 Treble at 6?

You are messing with deep dark unimaginable forces beyond your comprehension or conrol!

So...are you cheating on your own? Is that public indecency?

Who needs a girlfriend when you've got a big enough amp eh?

No nagging voice, no trick questions, no commitment issues; just the warm fuzzy embrace of the low end of the sonic spectrum.
