White Bird Wednesday with the late Pete Way and Paul Raymond, along with the rest of UFO performing their Magnum Opus "Love to Love".

Just actually noticed Paul is riffing on a Korg T3 synth. I've got its big brother, the T1. I wonder what preset he used on this song. Gotta love how Pete's hair never seemed to age! Unlike Mogg's.

I wouldn't know what to do with a 1000w amp.

​

My D800+ is too much for my cabs, but if you set it to 2 ohms and connect a 4 or 8 ohm load, it won’t put out as much power.

A couple of weeks ago? It's a 215D



Nice-looking Mark 3 - is that price for both? If so, it's a pretty great deal

I believe it’s for both.

I still have and use an A440 tuning fork on my workbench.

I've got 600 right now.
And i can barely touch what it can do.
But i'm just an eccentric alien.

Love it! I'd pay good money to hear that live! Nice funky playing.

Thanks Donnie! If you ever come to Vancouver…

We have a comedian in our midst. Made me laugh........and look in the mirror.

Then I'm a psychologist.

That's why I got the Trace Elliot, I can actually open up the volume on it and make it work, the GK 700RBII @480w is almost too much amp for what I need, even at a big venue.

If we need one, my daughter is a forensic psychologist. I’m afraid what she’d diagnose in this group.

Are you crazy? (Don't answer.) What could she possibly find? We're the normal one's.

For those who don't remember life before tuners they were nothing short of revolutionary. No arguments with the guitar player about who's right and it immediately made just about any bands performance better. Not only that but doing your own setups became a breeze. Once I got a tuner I could never be without one again.

Oh yeah and especially onstage, remember those marathon tuning sessions onstage?

"Hey your G string's flat" "Are you sure?" Bring it up a little bit, no not that much" "Little bit lower, Ahh, good enough, let's play!" Remember 'good enough for rock n roll'?

know what you mean……usually need more…

I set an unopened bottle of water on top of my Grexa 360 for a gig once. Right in the middle of a song, my sound disappeared. I panicked of course, thinking the amp failed. Or maybe a cord. After a lot of scrambling around, I looked at the back of the amp, and there was the water bottle, tangled up in power cords and patch cords, resting on top of the on-off switch for the powered cabinet. (Unlike the original, the reissues have a power switch on the cabinet.) The water bottle had vibrated off the top and fallen down behind the amp, where it landed on the switch and turned off the power. That will never happen again, because nothing except the power conditioner goes on top of the amp ever again.

My first good amp when I was a kid was a blackface Fender Dual Showman and you could not put anything on top of those old Fenders like drinks, beers etc as they would vibrate right off but I never learned.

600's enough for me too , sorry just can't resist. I haven't played them like this for at least twenty years.

There is that saying/question.

There's the other question too:

What's heavier than an SVT?

I bought a TE GP7M200 about 3-4 months back, I love it!
