Been there. Losing pets is never easy. Much mojo to you and your family.

Well played, sir.

Very nice. I had a silverface DR years ago - one of many SF Fenders I've had over the years, back when they were just "used amps". Shoulda kep' it.

C'mon, Scottie. I love VH (I was 17 when the first record came out), but that's a bit of hyperbole, yes? Find the trailer for the doc made about the Wrecking Crew, which included Tedesco and Campbell from the above list. Those guys played on everything that came out of SoCal in the 60's. LOTS of influence there, nevermind the rest of those guys.

Put it this way: these are the same clowns who run the RnRHoF, which STILL doesn't include KISS, but does include ABBA and Laura Nyro. Case closed.

I think Flatspotter absolutely nailed it. I've experienced it, too, in both directions. Did you turn up a little more with the little one out of the house? Volume makes a huge difference.

I saw one of these not too long ago at a pawn shop in Ashland, KY....

Yamaha RGX A2

If you decide to jet down to Lexington to try that one out, let me know. I'll meet you for an adult beverage!

Tough thing about these units is the general inablilty to try before you buy. Once you get beyond Boss, Digitech and a handful of others, they're only available online (for us folks in "flyover country", anyway). I'm diggin' the Wampler Pinnacle, Suhr Riot and Cmatmods Brownie based on 'tube demos, but I'm sure some (many) nuances don't translate. Nearest dealer for some of those units is 3 hours one way. I'll gladly do that trip to look at dropping $500-1000+ and a guitar or amp, but it's a little much for a pedal.

Very surprised by the GFS unit, and I'm not one of their big HCEG fanbois.

"One bourbon, one scotch, one beer", perhaps?

Beyond work and family, music/guitar has passed cars/racing in the last year or so to take the top spot - our 2 lovely offspring take up virtually all of the time and budget that used to be spent on the autocross car, which is now for sale (PRS/Mesa partial trades considered!). I'll have another in a few years.

+ another one for that charcoal body! Makes me think 997 Turbo....
