Guilty! I just wanted to hear from these 3 different groups. It's a guitar amp circuit so it belongs on AGA. It's a tube circuit so it belongs on RAT. And since it's design, feedback, all that complicated stuff, I wanted to hear from SED. Fair enough I guess! I understand that the perspectives here are all going to be different. As to the Lord, he is well known to dislike "3 legged fuses" and anything digital - but oddly enough he does know quite a bit about the old-fashioned FETs of the 70s so go figure, it's his personal opinion and not his lack of knowledge, it's an informed opinion even if we may disagree. Me, I don't always dislike solid state guitar amps, and nobody has ever had a problem with transistorized guitar effects such as the classic Fuzz Face, although I do dislike digital guitar gear probably because I first saw the stuff in the early 90s when it had latency so bad that you could hit a note and go make a sandwich before coming back and hearing it come out of the speaker. So that's where I'm coming from and why I crossposted. As to the Lord's client list - never heard of ANY of them? Really? Not even Meatloaf or Fleetwood Mac or Huey Louis? I can understand that most people wouldn't like Yo La Tengo but they are cool I think. And definitely the Dirty Dozen Brass Band rules - check out "Brooklyn" I think that's their main popular tune. As to the Flobots - I love the Flobots. My band actually covers "Handlebars" and they let me play the horn solo (I only play guitar but I use an octave fuzz there. It's kind of close. Kinda.) I mean, it's not like he has done work for the Beatles but hey you know the Beatles are half-dead already, life is like that, there's plenty of good music out there today. |
