Today I am going to borrow a friend's 57 Fender Tweed Deluxe (it's the fourth image down on that page). My friend built it himself, from a kit. I'm pretty excited about playing through it, and if I like it I'm going to commission one. He says he can build them for half price, and although I've only seen pictures it looks fantastic. The second one could only be better, too.

Replace "hoss" with any other animal and it's equally true.

my GF's roommate (who I... dislike. Don't tell anyone) has a vintage Fender amp with spring reverb and all. She always tells me I need to come over some time to play my jag through it, but I would feel bad about it. Because I don't like her.

Amps! I like them. Lately I have realized that certain settings on my Big Muff combined with certain settings on my amp create this really intense super-saturated tone. Oh man, it is so cool.

...mostly I just find hideous Grunge Era tones, though. Barf. Not Nirvana, not even Mudhoney. These are some third-string grunge tones.

I have a Peavey studio chorus 212. I have had to replace the speakers in it. I don't really like it - it is hard to get the sound I want out of it.

I also have a Marshall MG 15DFX for noodling around while I am sitting on the couch.

I want this Marshall cabinet and this head, I think.

Does anybody here know anything about Musiclord? Miles?

yeah, i was on the verge of getting a Marshall, but the salesman convinced me to get a Vox modeling amp instead. I like it, but 90% of the time I am using it to model an AC30. Too bad they cost an arm and a leg. I also wonder sometimes if the combination of a Jaguar and a Vox makes my guitar sound like a trebley, glassy asshole. The Big Muff makes it really roar, though.

I just walked ~1.5 miles to my favorite coffee/lunch place to work on job applications. Long ##### were a bad choice. My shirt is stuck to my body.

10000 people I know just walked in. This one girl is the loudest talker I have ever heard, and everyone is FUMING and glaring at them.

I don't. I haven't lived in Seattle for a while now though. Have you tried one out?

Are there tubes on that thing?  That (and a shit load of time fuck*ng with settings) is what will make it be able to sound like "some band people have heard of's" amp.  It is really crazy how much volume effects the sounds when you are talking tube amps.  If I make it sound good at volume 8 (about 3/4 on a 60 watt tube amp- so way too loud to practice at), it sounds like shit at volume 5 (my practice volume).  Plus, I am running 2 rats, a swollen pickle, a big muff and a tube zipper (and that is just my distortion section), and all of those have to change with the volume.  Drummer coming at 6:30, I will spend at least 2 of the next 3 hours fuck*ng with that stuff and then play for three hours.  Ah yeah.

I kinda wish I had humbuckers and a marshal, but I have single coils and a Fender.  Whatever, I got the sounds I want now.

there is 1 pre-amp tube. The rest is digital. There is also an attenuator knob, so I can make it so that with gain/volume maxed it is still pretty quiet. It supposedly doesn't affect the sound, but, it does.

Yeah, I spend way too much time messing around with settings. I am going to say here for the 100000th time that I need to write down combos that sound good.

That's why I want to replace the Peavey. Too much shit to fuck with, and if anybody else does anything to it, when I play again I have to fuck with it and I never get it back where it goes. The tweed deluxe actually sounds pretty sweet, and there's like two knobs. That head I linked is not the one I'm interested in, actually. I want the Super Lead, but it is hard for me to justify the price, although I'd probably never have to buy anything else.

I've played a Musiclord a little bit, and it sounded really nice.

Word I am into a bag and heading to a show. I fuck*ng worked that Fender. It is very fun to idle down into the basement and crush the Lester with the sweetie crashing the Pearl kit. Just saying.

You all enjoy the weekend in the style of your people. I am going to have some fun.

Wake up early because I'm excited about having shale delivered.  Is there a term for garden geeks?  I am most definitively a gardening (and landscaping) geek.
