  1. Seems I'm not the only Osmond fan out there that still admits that they where a good band. I'm Going Home = Ten Years After
  2. The kid is hot tonight = Loverboy
  3. Wow!!! So many great looking woman in here! I hope I get some nice looker's like you ladies at my show tomorrow night in Chapel Hill, always did like singing/playing the acoustic guitar for an attractive girl or two, or three.......
  4. One Night is Not Enough = Snow Patrol
  5. People Get ready = Rod (The Mod) Stuart
  6. Ah...! yes! I forgot about those little gem's! I use to know a guy who had a "Power Soak", Tom Scholz made. He was using it with a JCM 800 100 watt and a "A" cab (1960 maybe), not sure what speakers where in it (G1275?). He did get a "Power Break" to but I don't know much about that device.
  7. The one's I would go to on my own account where the ones that where still new, after a few years when all the old grease from the grill started piling up it became a hang out for crack head's and so forth. I think if I had my pick I'd go to the IHOP. In my years of stage production I really had little say so on the pick of restaurant's for the evening, we all road together and where ever we stopped was where we ate! Some show's when I was only dropping off or doing a small stage and was alone for the day I would go to a nicer place. If there was anything open at the hour I got everything packed up and back on the road, if I could spare a few extra buck for something good for me, I would. We would only get about $25.00 a day for per-diem pay and most of the time the boss would just say meet me at the venue or we'll figure out where we will eat later. I can't complain to much though as most of the bosses I worked for where really cool guy's to have to share the front set of a truck with.
  8. Give Me Some Loving = Spencer Davis Group
  9. He He, that sound like a good plan GP. One of the reply's at the site from the link I provided earlier said, "you don't want a Super Lead unless your playing in large clubs and have the need/ability to max it out!" Also, the other link explains some major cap differences in the two amp's (Super Lead and Master Head), being the dark sound that was talked about.
  10. The Tide is Turning = Roger Waters
  11. Yes, that is what we are both saying here, The K88's are giving more wattage so you get a cleaner sound at lower level's until you get to peak out put. That's why (IMHO) the higher sensitivity speakers would sound best with so much headroom and not a bunch of squashed (mud) sound. In short this amplifier was designed to be run wide open! Yes? OK, let me try again, if I was trying two amp's, one a "Super Lead" with out a "Gain" (main) just a Loudness (volume) knob and also a regular Marshall with both a "Master" and a "Gain" knob and I want to get a close (as I can get) sound of the "Super Lead" from the "Master Head". Being that the "Master Head" has an extra gain stage if I ran it's Master knob at (or close to) the top could I get a close copy of the "Super Lead's" gain structure? I would think it would be close as long as the "Main" gain circuit's are near the same, that is if they just slapped in an extra gain stage for the newer "Master Head". Don't know if Jimmy's was a 1959 or not but here's some info on the 59" Super Lead... http://acruhl.freeshell.org/mga/main/1959_notes.html Some good info on the difference between the Marshall head's.... http://everythingsg.com/forum/index.php?ac...e;topic=15741.0
  12. Oh man!!! I used to go to the "Awful House" on a regular basis when I was on the road doing stage production from 1998-2002! I liked it before 1998.
  13. I recon this is why you need to run the master up high, but I've not used anything like that configuration before so, if it has the same gain stage as running a normal Super Lead's master at (or near) the top that's where you should start. As for distortion, I'm sure if you run a tube amp at high gain setting's your going to get a fare amount of dirt to the speaker's. How about tube selection's? The KT88 are cleaner? I've been fooling around with a Aphex 107 Mic Pre, and tried a Fender tube that was a bunch hotter/dirtier at higher gain setting's then the Phillips tube that came with the unit. I put the Phillips back in but still have the Fender in case I ever want to use it for micing an electric guitar or a bass even. Here's a review or two on the G12H's http://reviews.harmony-central.com/reviews...on/G12H-30/10/1 Found this little tid bit about sensitivity, speaker's and styles of music, if Jimmy's amp was as clean as you stated the higher sensitivity G12H would feel at home with a amp with that much headroom and so little distortion (think I answered my own question about the clean tube's). http://www.agoraquest.com/viewtopic.php?fo...amp;topic=33961 (read sergey's reply) The best studio's have at least one well designed/constructed large room to give the group the opportunity to really open up there gear and to also pound the skins if needed!
  14. A man was getting a haircut prior to a trip to Rome. He mentioned the trip to the barber who responded, "Rome? Why would anyone want to go there? It's crowded & dirty and full of Italians. You're crazy to go to Rome. So, how are you getting there?" "We're taking TWA," was the reply. "We got a great rate!" "TWA?" exclaimed the barber. "That's a terrible airline. Their planes are old, their flight attendants are ugly, and they're always late. So, where are you staying in Rome?" "We'll be at the downtown International Marriott." "That dump! That's the worst hotel in the city. The rooms are small, the service is surly and they're overpriced. So, whatcha doing when you get there?" "We're going to go to see the Vatican and we hope to see the Pope." "That's rich," laughed the barber. "You and a million other people trying to see him. He'll look the size of an ant. Boy, good luck on this lousy trip of yours. You're going to need it." A month later, the man again came in for his regular haircut. The barber asked him about his trip to Rome. "It was wonderful," explained the man, "not only were we on time in one of TWA's brand new planes, but it was overbooked and they bumped us up to first class. The food and wine were wonderful, and I had a beautiful 28 year old stewardess who waited on me hand and foot. And the hotel-it was great! They'd just finished a $25 million remodeling job and now it's the finest hotel in the city. They, too, were overbooked, so they apologized and gave us the presidential suite at no extra charge!" "Well," muttered the barber, "I know you didn't get to see the pope." "Actually, we were quite lucky, for as we toured the Vatican, a Swiss Guard tapped me on the shoulder and explained that the pope likes to personally meet some of the visitors, and if I'd be so kind as to step into his private room and wait the pope would personally greet me. Sure enough, five minutes later the pope walked through the door and shook my hand! I knelt down as he spoke a few words to me." "Really?" asked the Barber. "What'd he say?" He said, "Where'd you get the lousy haircut?
  15. I have not used a Marshall head in a long time but, I would think that with what most have stated already and with my past experimentation with the 100 watter I use to borrow from one of my ex guitar player's. You crank the main (Master) as far up as you can and play around with the bass, mid, presence and treble. This is much easier to do in a big room with high ceiling. A lot of this higher end gear is made on a day to day or even an hour by hour basis, not all of them are going to sound exactly alike.
  16. I don't see anything wrong with your hair Lilith, your very cute!
  17. I'm Back On My Feet Again = Michal Bolton and The Baby's
  18. A man and a little boy entered a barbershop together. After the man received the full treatment - shave, shampoo, manicure, haircut, etc. - he placed the boy in the chair. "I'm going' to buy a green tie to wear for the parade," he said. "I'll be back in a few minutes." When the boy's haircut was completed and the man still hadn't returned, the barber said, "Looks like your daddy's forgotten all about you." "That wasn't my daddy," said the boy. "He just walked up, took me by the hand and said, 'Come on, son, we're gonna get a free haircut!'"
