My drummer had a peek at my Fuzz pedal and could not believe why I bother having one at all. I am a bass player that loves the crisp clear tone of a groovy bass line and I have my Fuzz setting on at level 1.....and that is all I care to use. You are right about going too far though, anyone can hide behind enough distortion/fuzz/overdrive etc.

First I hear of a 1500S
Sunn 1500s 1968 | I Have Too Much Gear
Click to expand...

Only made for the '68 model year, the 1500S was identical to the 1200S and 2000s that year, 4 knobs, no trem/reverb, no mid or bass boost. The differences were what cabs they came with. The 1500S came with a 2x15 loaded with JBL D15S, which were essential OEM JBL D-130s made specifically for Sunn loaded in a 2000s cab. The 1200S came with a 6x12 cab and the 2000s obviously with its cab. I've seen a few, but they are certainly less common than the other models, though, given they are identical circuit-wise, there's no real increased value. That one does have the big Dynaco transformers, but other than that there's nothing that would rate that asking price.

Same on my B7Ku, I just go for a touch of overdrive, but never distortion.

My opinion is that homeopathy is nonsense. If it was real, then distilled water would be the most dangerous and powerful medicine on the planet. I would stick to a real doctor doing real doctor stuff. If you need antibiotics and think that homeopathy will work, then good for you. But, I sure wouldn't trust it. My wife got sucked in by that stuff for a while, and it took some real problems to get the quackery out of our lives. I hate even bringing that up, because it makes me good and angry thinking about how that kind of nonsense harms people and preys upon worried people.

I believe in science myself. The office sent this stuff over and I wasn’t sure what to make of it.
(Hat? Broach? Taradactal?) I was just curious about other people’s experience and opinions. Not looking to turn TB into webMD,
But the breadth of information here has always impressed me.

Either way it's gotta weigh a bunch and since I'm my own roadie, I have a Rumble 200 combo that weighs less than 1/2 my old SVT head.

This is interesting. At yesterdays band practice my guitarist spoke of wanting to get his cab off the ground because right now its not on wheels. I said to put two cinder blocks beneath but he says that he's worried about the hollow chambers in the blocks phukking with his tone. Could tone be altered that much?.
