Ooooooooooooooohhhhh man, have you seen the the the new muff pedal that came out?

and supposedly works extremely well on bass.

Ex plays doom on occasion? Check. Ex plays bass a little? check. That could have a place on my board.

it's like cars, mang. the '56 Chevy was the zenith. the apex. so why didn't they stop then? because someone needs to keep building cars to make money. then they over-engineer the {censored} out of everything and suck the mojo out of it with cheaper components, etc., make it more complex and difficult to use, blah blah.

:facepalm:Using a 56 chevy as an analogy is probably not the best example. Innovative and a giant step towards modern day cars yes, but tri 5

As someone who was stuck with nothing but 60s and 70s gear for the beginning years of my playing, I'm happier than {censored} with new gear. No more struggling to get good tones at low volume...multi channel footswitchable amps...cascading gain sections. I haven't played my old Marshalls in eons and don't plan to.

wow, I'm surprised at the responses from the young guys - I thought for sure I would hear "my Mesa rectifier blows away the Marshalls of the 70's and early 80's" etc. I guess young guys can have a good ear too
:)



:facepalm:

My rectifier doesn't blow them away, it just does a totally different thing in a totally different way. I also have a marshall. It's a dsl100, and I wish it was a jcm or another single channel amp though.

Who gives a {censored} what time period an amp came from? The only thing that matters is the sound you are going after and can you actually {censored}ing play guitar with some coherence.

 

I'd love to shove a Dumble up your nostalgic ass.

 

Oh, Framus Cobra and ENGL Powerball here and I don't want an amp for the seventies or the eighties.
