You must really play loud at your house. Do you practice / learn new stuff / write new songs with that full stack? It may be a bit of overkill unless you have your whole gigging band playing along with you at full volume.You know what may be a cool thing for you to have? An inexpensive little practice amp.

Don't get your mullet in a twist - there are other people in the world, get used to it. ..and don't forget all of the gigging people who use this. In fact I bet 95% of the people that use this play gigs. Your average basement guitarist is too busy with his metalzone to notice lovepedal.

Members RoboPimp Posted May 4, 2006 Members Share Posted May 4, 2006 haha, I like your "rig", how many big macs did you have to make to put that jem together? It has that dumpster diving ghetto crackhead look that we all love. I like the 2x4s for that trailer park white trash touch.

Members L6Sguy Posted May 4, 2006 Members Share Posted May 4, 2006 wow. atomheartmother, i hope you are happy. so, it appears that not everybody has the same exact needs. surprise, surprise. it also appears that there may in fact be more than one tool that can accomplish the job of 'home practice,' surprise, surprise. curious how Gibbons & Keef weigh in on these questions, as they are/were both big fans of the Smokey. and presumably, had the option of going with Ampeg V4s and JTM-whatevers. for playing in their kitchens.

Members derek_32999 Posted May 4, 2006 Members Share Posted May 4, 2006 Originally posted by cantoXIII somehow your attempt at belittling me didn't seem too successful. maybe it's due to the fact that i live in a house that i'm paying rent on, and moreso due to that being my living room, right next to the front door. don't assume when you don't know, it makes you look like a jackass.

There is nothing vintage about it.....AFAIK. Just a guess, but he might be referring to the tone it produces. Or he invented them back in the early 70's for Robin Trower so that he could practice in his tourbus without disturbing his tour manager Marin Timmy who suffers from an acute auditory ailment that prohibits him from listen to anything above 3 db, or risk permanent damage to the inner ear. They have been sitting in Sean's basement until their recent discovery and he decided to sell them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members L6Sguy Posted May 4, 2006 Members Share Posted May 4, 2006 Originally posted by hempathy What I want to know is why this amp has vintage in the name? There is nothing vintage about it.....AFAIK. i took it as a 'not heaps of gain' thing.i did have a few more mins to sit down with mine earlier today. and christ, i didnt know {censored}all about it really i guess, as its hardly the 'cleaner' amp it'd appeared yesterday -- although to be fair, i've paired it with a diff spkr (italian Jensen c10Q) and a different guitar with a speck hotter pups. not quite as dirty as a Smokey'll get, but a decent amount of crunch on tap. i get the feeling there may be a lot more variety available by using the guitar's controls a bit more aggressively, but i dont wanna say just yet, as i'm still in the under-40-mins phase with it.for the non-tone-worship practice/playing i do around the house, the grind this thing delivers is perfect. a little rawk sound, no prob. i dont need modelling, or anything fancy -- the Vox & Roland's (and all the other's) features would be a waste on me.and, like my Smokey's before it, it'll make a perfect 'backup' rig when gigging, one that travels in my jacket pocket. cuz i live on the edge like that, using 9v/18v battery powered amps as backups for my manly tube amps. greatest thing since sliced bread? hardly. cool little piece of gear? definitely. i've got all sorts of amps, big and small (i could use a medium or two), and this one will have no prob co-existing happily with the rest.

Members hempathy Posted May 4, 2006 Members Share Posted May 4, 2006 Fair enough, if it refers to the sound it produces I can start selling all my newly bought pedals and amps as vintage, because they are capable of producing a vintage style distortion.Anyone got links to kits to make a similar item?I like the sound.

CantoXIII - here's the deal...I'm guessing you're fairly young.There's a fair chance that in 10 to 20 years - you won't be gigging any more. But if you're a real muso, and not just a poser, you'll still play your guitar - maybe better than you do now.You might even teach a bit, jam a bit, record a bit.The fact that you no longer gig, won't make you less capable as a player. You can still have an opinion.Your earlier comment that anyone that doesn't currently gig must be "{censored}in lame", immediately brands you as immature. Then you get upset when people treat you like that. You named yourself. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I sell some locally, not sure if I want to do e-business anytime soon.But if you want to see a little practice amp I designed and released for others to build free of charge, then go to this link.http://cordova.asap.um.maine.edu/~raymondj/imagehost/stereoamp.pdfClean headroom, EQ section, master volume.......stereo...The preamp can be used as a standalone overdrive/distortion box if ran from 9v.I am NOT selling it.I repeat, I am NOT selling it.
