These things are important. The tort pickguard on my Strat definitely improved the overall tone and worked wonders for my confidence, not only as a guitar player but as a person and a husband. It was a fine investment that saved me a lot of $$$ that would otherwise have been spent on therapy, or...

Burgers.

Could be your subconsciousness playing tricks. Have you checked the intonation?

Happy Anniversary!

I removed the small lid on the top just to have a look, but there's no way I can get to the tube through there. Then I tried removing the bottom plate, but I don't see how I could get the PCB-board out without breaking something. I think you're right; dropping in my favorite brand probably...

Lovely! Do tell us about the tones you can get with all the phase switching and whatnot!

'e's an 'orrible c*nt.

Unknown unknowns. Like when years ago Vox demoed their Custom Classic amps using a new Vox guitar with their own pickups and some funky switching. How were we supposed to know what it would sound like with a vanilla Tele, Strat or Lester? Same with some custom shop booteek guitar through a...

Not for me but very cool!

Two things I'd like to change: Since, as far as I understand, the Ampster operates at a voltage that makes the tube actually work and it's not just a gimmick, it would be nice if you could change the tube and experiment with different types. Alas, I don't see how you can manage that without...

That's fine. We can use this thread for talking nonsense then. Like, suppose a guitar fell head-first into a black hole and got spaghettified. How would that affect intonation? And for how long would you be able to play cowboy chords?

I appreciate how they revisit the simple stuff. Brett Anderson's voice has aged, definitely, but not in a bad way, I think. Do you think he'll just keep going like Mick Jagger and Bryan Ferry?
