Posted in Guitars, tagged amp, amplifiers, amps, Dv mark, GAS, guitar, guitar gear, guitar gear reviews, guitarists, Guitars, little 40, Music, musicians on October 11, 2011 | 2 Comments »

I mentioned the DV Mark Little 40 at the end of my previous post yesterday, which was a review on the DV Mark Galileo 15. That Galileo is a great little amp, but the DV Mark Little 40 is what I’m really taking a serious look at right now. If you want more information and [...]

Gear Review: DV Mark Amps Galileo 15 Head

Posted in Guitars, tagged amps, Dv mark, Galileo, guitar on October 10, 2011 | 3 Comments »

DV Mark Amps Galileo 15 Summary: From the folks that brought us the big sound in a small package of Markbass bass amps, comes the DV Mark guitar amp line.Pros: Unbelievably rich tone with lots of clean headroom for a low-wattage amp. But you can dirty it up just fine by adding more pre-amp gain. [...]

New Gear: Fender Eric Clapton Signature Tweed Amps

Posted in Guitars, tagged amps, ec series, fender, tweed on October 4, 2011 | 2 Comments »

If you read this blog regularly, you know that I wasn’t too excited about Fender’s ’57 Champ re-issue. But in a collaboration with Eric Clapton, the Fender custom shop has come out with three new tweed amps that I think are worth a good look. Here the verbiage from the site: In a historic collaboration, [...]

If you look on my rig page, you’ll see that for my solo gigs, I use the very wonderful Fishman SoloAmp. This is a great, integrated PA that I’ve been using to great success for the past year or so. Very easy to set up, and it has a nice on-board mixer with decent reverb [...]

At last night’s weekly gig at the restaurant I play at, I brought my trusty Roland Cube 60. I was in a rush, and just wanted a lightweight amp that I could easily set up. To be honest, I hadn’t played that amp for a long time, preferring to use my tube amp combos or [...]

Have You REALLY Heard Your Amp Full-Out?

For a long time I was – and pretty much still to this day – an overdrive pedal lover. I have several, and am waiting for my new Paul Cochrane Timmy to be completed and delivered in the next few weeks. I’ve been wanting one of these for awhile now, and finally bit the bullet [...]

I finally got some time to post my very first full video review (the Dumble series doesn’t really count because it wasn’t really a review, but more of a demo). So here, I present to you the Sebago Sound Double Trouble 100, an 100 Watt amplifier from a newcomer to the amp business and another [...]

Aracom Is So Much More Than An Attenuator Builder!

My good buddy Jeff Aragaki of Aracom Amps (http://www.aracom-amps.com) is in a bit of a quandry. His attenuators have been incredibly successful and very well-received by both amateur and pro guitarists. He actually built the attenuator in the hopes that it would raise awareness of his wonderful amps, of which I own three with a [...]

On the Aracom PRX150-Pro Attenuator

Yeah, I mention it a lot, but I thought I talk about it once again, because it truly has had a HUGE impact on how I approach amps. To me, there’s simply no attenuator on the market that can touch the quality of its sound; well, it doesn’t produce sound of course, but it lets [...]

What is it about the tone of a high-gain amp?

Posted in Guitars, tagged amp, amplification, amps, GAS, gear, guitar, guitar gear, guitarists, Guitars, Music, musicians on November 14, 2010 | 8 Comments »

You know me, I’m a low-wattage amp kind of guy. I find them really versatile and use them in a variety of venues and especially in the studio. But lately, I’ve been playing with a Sebago Sound 100 Watt Double Trouble – it’s a D-style amp – and I can say with confidence that I [...]
