So musicians might like the distortion aspect, or the overall real feel if you have to use way more speakers than needed due to wattage limitation of the amp. Meaning more speakers or bigger cabs have a different sound than a little 1x12 or 2x10. People want to know the science of tube sound...

AI art and AI music is somewhat fascinating that it can be done so quickly, or how it generates. Compared to older tech with synths or sequencers trying to emulate a drummer or player. After awhile it does become recognizable and generic sounding or with art, have a generic look. It does get...

go to Dadband.com and open a account? otherwise known as craigsflake or flakebook. Basically social media or go out for a change. Depends on area, have found some players on craigslist or facebook. Most the time actual decent players already in the clubs and you just meet people over time or...

Sometimes it is more the player for the overall tone. But really simple 100 watt amps can add a little extra grind to what the player can do. Waters had a certain grind in the live at Pompeii tone. HH amps as well

You get a transformer coupled solid state. With all the complaints about weight these days. If somebody marketed a transformer coupled solid state. limited to 100 to 200 watts Most would say you have gone mad. But you would have to market that a different way to convince people it was cool. Just...

Wow, lol :roflmao: some real special ones out there.

I just used Duncan SPB 1 or 3 "Vintage" or "Quarter Pound". Then never really overthink it much The QP is a little louder. Then turn the knob thingy's on the amp. Tried numerous strings, they all sound like TWAANNG when new and calm down. I always used a custom rotosound set. Many brands the...
