- This page is dedicated to my stuff.
The gear on this page is some of my favorite stuff, now and from the past!!!!
very heavy! Allow 15 minutes to cool down before you pack it up..... I've had two of these, and each one sounded very different. I understand that some were PC Board and some were wired point to point. These amps are over $3000.00 new, but you can find them used for a little over a grand. |
now and has been for about a year. It's a G&L Tribute Series. It's a Will Ray model, signed by Will Ray. The HIP SHOT is pretty easy to use, but has a different feel from a neck pull B-Bender. I've had three other B-Bender Telecasters: A Clarence White custom shop, a G&L A.S.A.T. Classic ( both with parsons/white benders ). Also an American- Standard with a Parsons/Green bender: A real squeeky piece of crap! |
Steels. An Emmons Push- Pull Student model. It's very light weight and sturdy. The cabinet depression is very, very minimal! Less than some of the more expensive guitars I've had. It stays in tune beautifully, but the method for tuning it can be a little freaky to get used to. This model has 3 Pedals and 2 Knee Levers and a Killer Tone!!! |
It's a 1958 Gibson Discoverer Tremelo GA-8 I've had it for a few years Originally, it had a volume, tone, rate and depth. It's been modified with a Fender tone stack; the rate and depth have been moved to the back. In the near future, there will be a switch added and some mods to allow me to switch from the fender to a Marshall style tone stack. I'm also adding an upgraded speaker. That should take care of things quite nicely; thank you very much! So far, I've got $200.00 to purchase it, $190.00 for the initial re-tube,bias and other components. An additional $250.00 for the tone mods: Thats $640.00! The new mods could run another $300 or $400.00. If you think I'm nuts; I have a Matchless SC-30, and this one has just as much a character of it's own! The work was done by Lars at AWR in Melbourne, Fl. Tel: 321-751-2450 |

'I am told', the original chassis design comes from the old Cathedral radios of the 1920's and 30's. Now thats RETRO!!! |
Over the years, I've had a lot of guitars, amps, keyboards and an enormous amount of effects. In addition, I've had my own sound and light company and DJ and Karaoke company. In other words; I've owned a lot of crap! In the Quest for great tone and performance, a few items have really impressed me: This page is my way of sharing some of these with you. If you have any gear you want to know about, email me and I'll opinionize!!!!!!! |
'30'
bought this one at a time when my Gibson was in the shop. The two channel setup is nice, but I always use a digitech foot pedal on the first channel. There is a problem with the way the effects are setup ( more than one on the same dial ). Other- wise; this amp has a lot going for it. It's also great for live recording. |
The 512 is very light and very powerful. I run 2 EV ZX-90's off the main channel, and a variety of types of center fill speak- ers off the monitor channel. This has 500 watts@4ohms/side and 8 channels. |
The zx1-90 is a full range loudspeaker. It has a low end of 70hz. They need to see 200 watts @ 8 ohms. I've tried three of these, and for many rooms, I don't need anything larger! |
Don't laugh: I have a ton of speakers: ELITE EV, BAGEND, JBL, SOUNDTECH, WHARF- DALE, CERWIN VEGA, TO NAME A FEW.......... The Radio Shack is surprisingly clear and punchy for alot of small applications. They're lite and cheap! Try one. I pay $50 or $60 for one. |
stuff I use all the time, but often, when I need to replace a mike, speaker, or some other item, I will try something I've never used before. I always make sure I can return it if I don't like it. On many occasions, I am pleasantly surprised. Case in point: The last time I needed an amp, I tried the cube 30, and now I use it a lot. I also found that, properly miked, I can use it for my steel! |

Buddy Emmons web site. Get a load of the amp! I believe this was when he was working with Ray Price, but I'm not entirely sure. I seriously doubt that he was using this. It was probably another players and just happens to be in the shot. |
