Needs a rack box, but this is the amp setup I made from the church stuff. There's also a crown but until I play through all this when the dually arrives, idk what will stick around. Here's the rundown on the intellipitch I bought, sounds complicated.

"Guitarists have asked us, even begged us, to bring the Rocktron touch to intelligent pitch shifting, and now Rocktron delivers with the Intellipitch, a hot new processor containing the most advanced 24-bit DSP processing, Intelligent pitch shifting, and the quietest operation possible.

The Intellipitch contains extremely advanced pitch shift processing by Wave Mechanics, including intelligent, chromatic and reverse pitch shifting algorithms. Intelligent pitch configuration can be set to any musical mode such as "Ionian, Dorian, Phrygian, etc.". Tuning the guitar is made simple with the built in tuner and calibration option, making the art of achieving perfect harmony extremely easy.

In addition to the incredible pitch functions, the Intellipitch also provides a host of other effects, including 8-voice stereo chorusing, three different delay algorithms, unsurpassed digital reverb quality, and highly flexible configuration programming (allowing for simultaneous operation of up to five effects with complete mixing capabilities). The Intellipitch also offers a fully digital implementation of patented HUSH® noise reduction at the unit's input, as well as ducking capabilities for the delay and reverb effects.

Intellipitch Key Features:
High quality pitch shifting algorithms including:
2-voice diatonic pitch shifting over 2 full octaves
4-voice chromatic pitch shifting over 3 full octaves
2-voice pitch shifting offered simultaneously with HUSH, delay and reverb
2-voice reverse chromatic pitch shifting
8-voice chorusing with an enormous number of parameters for the richest chorus ever
Super quiet operation through the use of high quality 16-bit converters and digital HUSH
24 bit processing and memory circuits to maintain maximum dynamic range
Built in tuner
Ability to store up to 8 unique MIDI controller patches with each preset
Analog signal path to allow the amp's tone to remain untouched
U.S. Suggested Retail Price: $1199.00"

Any word on that batch of Volt Throwers? I think I need one.

I believe Magic is in the midst of assembling a good size run of each of the main productions models. So Wizard, Cthulhu, Volt Thrower and HM-2 I think. There's no preorder on these upcoming, just open for sale I think. Should be fairly soon, I'm sure Nick will probably put up some notice on the Dunwich FB page to give people a head's up.

...and another friend passes away. Guy was my boss at the record store where i worked during senior year of high school and a few years after. After that we became good friends, he's the one that introduced me to Kyuss, FuManchu, Nebula and Clutch - in the process changing my life forever. He'd been living in NYC tending bar and loving every minute of it. Just got married last year. Don't even know what happened, doesn't really matter.

I get the occasional migraine - what works for me is as soon as I start to notice the aura symptoms (I always get blind spots and/or flashing lights in my eyes) I take 4-5 ibuprofen and chug a beer. That will knock it back to a somewhat tolerable level. Of course if I'm at work or something I have to skip the beer - unfortunately the beer seems to be the key ingredient in the formula.

This is me. Occasional, so I really shouldn't complain. Never went to a doctor and don't really want RX pain pills. That would not be a good thing for me. If I catch it early enough, ibuprofen takes the edge off enough to function. Then as soon as I can get home, I can go into the basement and get feeling better. Right now, I have a small pinch, but nothing compared to the eyes stabber I had earlier. Usually, I have to stop life and go to bed. My grandma used to get them too. I think it's hereditary.

Thanks for the input on the amp situation, men.

Somehow missed that tuck & roll Kustom.

Way, way back I borrowed a rig from a friend's younger brother--it was two Kustom cabs in glitter blue tuck and roll and a matching Kustom head, all from the 70s.

He was gonna sell me the whole shebang for like $200 (this was around 1986)...he was letting me keep it set up where my band at the time practiced.

The day I showed up with his $200, the entire rig was gone. He traded it to some Hessian for an ounce of weed. At the time I could score an oz of decent stuff for about $75. That episode still kinda hurts.

Anyways, will work on piecing together something. Still considering selling my MIM P bass to fund this...

I will keep y'all posted if I score something, and may have more annoying questions between now and then.

I don't know if you feel like going for a little drive, but there was a tuck and roll for $100 on the St Louis CL.

Thanks for the outsider opinion Janitor...the space is definitely making it way worse than it seems I believe, but i think there still is a sonic problem. I dont think he needs to go as far as change to a guitar head, he just needs to dial back the bass on his bass amp, which he dimes.

Good news is while were playing in Indy this weekend theyre doing some soundproofing work on the ceiling. So maybe that will make it better.

Next amp I buy is gonna be a Bear amps SS vulcanish pre and 300 watt tube power section. Thatll put out the lows for sure.

Your 3620 has lowrider 18s IIRC right?
Follow me for a minute:
Those things should be capable of insane lows. You might just consider grabbing a poweramp w/ a built-in crossover. Run your mace into the two 10"s for your mids and highs and plug its line out into the poweramp and then use it to pump the lows into your 18"s. Really( depending on cabinet porting)
you could have fearful-class lows.
No way your guitarist could compete, regardless of his amp.

Probably still have mud in the mix though it would send a message.

It wouldn't be mud at that point. It would be small scale earthquakes.
