"I don't like tube screamers, yet I keep on buying them" Perfectly sums up the state of most guitarists' gear problem.
I did collect 6 of the same thing – a Tim, Bob Burt OD, Menatone blue collar custom, lucydreamer, way huge geisha, nobles and witnessed you will like one or two more than all of the rest, sold the others. I don't like tubescreamers but I kept buying them – all day
$1500-2000 if it was a LG2. Late 60's B25 around $1000
90's era Matchless Hotbox on reverb for $675
What's good for the Duck Dunn is good for The MichiGander.
They offfered me the office offered me the shop!
They said I better take anything they got!
Mick jones and east bay ray are such a huge influence on my sound.

Another great show this week guys. However, I hate to be the bearer of bad news, and it's Mathew's commercial. What I'm referring to is Mathew's comment about how tone "isn't massed produced." With you guys making P.A.F. repro type of pickups, and I'm sure your commercial is geared towards this, but the P.A.F. was indeed 'mass' produced. It's just that the 'mass' of the late 50's wasn't a massive as what would be considered today as something being mass produced, and Gibson was definitely a 'mass producer' of guitars. So, you asked for it, and there you have it. Until next week… keep rockin'!
Same zero adds for me and I actually like Mathew’s musings, I bet the YouTube slams your supercool show with adverts,
Another great show guys, keep it up
I keep only 10 special pedals, 4 of them are 2005/06' era Throbaks.
I think the person is confused and thinks YouTube ads are your ads. I premium and get zero ads.
Matthew’s bass playing nickname should be a Spinal Tap reference: Big bottom. That’s a mic drop.
I had the Morley Power Wah Boost in the 70’s, and recently a customer brought in the Hot Box for service and tube replacement. Behemoths.
The perfect signal path is a guitar cord from your guitar to the input of a vintage tube amplifier. Anything in-between will degrade your tone.
