The Combo Club

Hey there, D, thanks for showing off some true vintage gear here at the club! that's an original, folks, not a Fenderized version. Let me know if you'd like a membership number to our little hideaway here for combo lovers. You've already done what one must to be a member; post a pic. I haven't given out a number lately so I hope you'll consider it. Thanks again for stopping by!
Sure I would love to be part of the club. it is in fact what you said. A original swr combo. No fender nothing. A true classic. It’s all original even the musty smell from how old it is.

WBB, I wanna believe you so badly, but part of my brain, the realistic part, is saying, "What?" to itself. Volume I can see, but you actually got some bass out of that pipsqueak? The OD I can believe because the amp was probably hanging by a thread and it was screaming for you to stop!

Please change my mind, sir! ;)

On the topic of small amps, I was jamming on the Foxy Vox tonight, and turned on the OD for the lovely crunchy sounds it makes whilst playing “Sharp-Dressed Man”

SWMBO promptly asked if it was supposed to be that loud, or was I risking blowing the amp. I just giggled.

SWMBO- had to Google that one. :roflmao::roflmao::D:thumbsup:
I’ve got one too- keeps me honest and (usually) out of trouble!
 
...I just pulled off a bar of tuplets of descending tritones on a whole tone scale. The oh wow I did that right moment.

M, not to brag, but I do that stuff in my sleep.

Now if only I could pull it off while awake...congrats!

PS: don't get the R100. I think you'd be disappointed compared to everything else you have. It's nice, but IMHO, there are better-sounding fish in the ocean.
 
Let’s discuss some of the finer points. The OD sounds delicious at low volumes. Turn it past 3 and it immediately sends out a horrible screeching sound. This is true whether it’s bass or guitar.

Played at low volume with my SS Stingray it’s got a pleasant bass sound and can keep up with a single acoustic guitar. That’s all I can vouch for. I would never bring this to a gig unless it was to do something weird like mic it up for some unusual effect. Which may actually end up being awesome now that I think about it. Maybe add some reverb and delay? I did just buy a Keely Canyons last night.

Point accepted. If you do decide to gig with it some evening, please take a pic of it so we can gawk in awe!

The "vintage" button on the R100 is interesting to me! The weight, or lack thereof, is interesting to me! For another 10 pounds of load-in, there's the very-not-a-combo. Double the weight of the R100 and there's the PJB BG-400 combo and that is crackerjack.

So how was that recording with the Elf, with it's post-EQ DI? Coach says:

Crank Da Amp!
