Members Jimmy Chitown Posted June 23, 2010 Members Share Posted June 23, 2010 So, I can plug my guitar into the switchboard? Cool.EG I always suspected that I could jam with my friends over the phone lines but never got around to testing that theory. Probably less latency than that LiveJam over-the-innernet thingy.

Members jimwratt Posted June 24, 2010 Members Share Posted June 24, 2010 If you took a modern amp and guitar back to the fifties and started jamming they would probably complain saying it's too loud and too distorted. You might even be arrested for disturbing the peace. This. The whole "back to the future" thing wouldn't have happened quite like the movie. The 50s would be intollerable for most Americans born after 1965. The country was fundamentally different. That's why I always scratch my head when I hear politicians talking about taking society back to those times. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Angry Tele Posted June 24, 2010 Members Share Posted June 24, 2010 yeah you'd have to be very carefull what you said and did and how you acted. You'd probably stick out like a turd in a punch bowl. Even if you brought back a Nocaster a tech might discover the Made in Japan stamp on the tuners and rat you out. Or if you had Russian or Chinese tubes, you be jailed as a spy most likely. And if you brought your hot sister back with you and she starts blowin dudes everything black and white would turn to color... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Belva Posted June 24, 2010 Members Share Posted June 24, 2010 Go watch Back To The Future. Yes the technology will work. But you'd get looked at as if you were a creature from outer space. Especially if you went back with a 1980's hair band. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
