I’m reading this and agreeing with all. The irony is when I try to describe high-gain guitar to guitar muggles, I use Doobies’ China Grove as an example. I additionally dime the gain to play Without You. The brown Fender in TR’s picture above looks to be the same one Ronnie Montrose used on his first album. The songs you’re approaching eljay are cleanish that can be approached by lowering amp gain levels together with guitar volume. And as far as the NGD goes: Nice Snatch!

Nice… you’ll be happy. Nice Snatch!

I probably devote more time than I should to amplification. There’s something there that interests me deeply. Being at the MuZeum is a thrill to see the breadth and depth of Dr. Z’s creations and interact with the likeminded kind. The greatest pull is the volume of stories and background attached to each amp. As many times as I have visited, I continue to learn. There is a Lot going on; I truly enjoy both the information and the way you deliver the truth.

It’s difficult to express how much fun it is to visit the MuZeum. Being back to back with PSP helps to draw parallels. If you like amps, a trip to the Z-Fest is mandatory. It is every bit to amps that PSP is to guitars. Good people, great sound, good times! IIRC, RJSanders said: “Boutique amps for boutique guitars! Many Thanks to Jaguarguy and the folks of ZTalk!

That’s not fair! You should have kept it. If you go DB, I want to join - please.

Crank the AC15! That’s their beauty, you get that luscious, cranked beauty of a stressed circuit without blowing out the windows. Hence the recommendation: Play Loud!

This IS music to my ears! Big week coming up; guitars And amps! Thank You Jaguarguy.

Hi Jaguarguy, thank you for the generous offer! I intend to do my very best to join you and the Z mavens. For the HOC - this represents an opportunity of a lifetime. The Z people that attend this festivity are akin to the HOC members. They are welcoming, knowledgeable and passionate about their amps. Jaguarguy has assembled a collection of amplifiers, mostly Dr.Z but certainly other premium models, that can rival Sweetwater. While a tad overwhelming at first glance, the majority of attendees will help walk you through them; just like the HOC assists newcomers with Heritage models. Over, above and beyond that, Jaguarguy provides a comfortable setting for the event and is the most gracious host I’ve encountered. His muZeum even rivals PSP for fun and friendly interactions. Highly Recommended.

Oh yes. That looks like a whole week of fun and gains. Happy NGDs!

I believe they were the 101s, whatever they claim to be PAFs. I primarily play through Metropoulos remakes of Marshall 1959 and/or JTM45-100. The Imperials are a far better pickup IMHO. I was getting noise through the throwup 101s and was told by the owner that I had to pay to assess the defective product that is “guaranteed for life.” I’ll never use their crap again. It seems to me that I pulled 101s from a H-150LW and improved it with HRWs

That’s the way to decide. I may have flipped a coin but I like the way you’re thinking. Nice snatches! I replaced the throbaks in my 575 with Imperials. Much better.

Very stylish. Nice Snatch!

I only have 3. And two 575s…. I need a Sweet 16.

It’s probably an Eagle case. Sell it to me.

And he continued on to answer such a basic question. Every guitar player I interact with consider your query fundamental. It has been addressed here multiple times which is precisely why I wholeheartedly agree with bolero’s frustrations. Sit back, take a deep breath and consider thanking him for sharing his knowledge and experiences. You got far more than you paid for.
