As we get even older, we're going to need specialized equipment; somebody's going to make a killing selling amplifiers that have large, easy-to-read numbers on the knobs, so we can make sure they're turned all the way up.

To 11.

Old Fender Telecasters and tweed amps rule, btw.

I don't know, I have this "thing", a Metaltronix from Lee Jackson (hey, I wanted LOUD), it's beyond description...it's so friggin LOUD that all you want to do is turn it down (now that I'm old), forget distortion, your head will explode before this thing starts to distort....LOL. On the other hand I have an old Gemini VI that gets some cool tones....now that I'm old........

I'll go with the tele-cat, but plug it into a Leslie (Hammomd B3) and let-er-rip.

"..."These go to 11...It's one louder."

For when you need to be really loud.

Just remember the first rule of Rock and Roll - If you can't play good, PLAY LOUD.

Dave Berry should have won a Nobel or Pulitzer prize for literature for his brilliance. Funniest guy on the planet excepting that nutcase running North Korea.

I got a Les Paul Studio into one of 4 separate Carvin Pre's into an ADA cab. emulator. This month I'm buying a "Whisper Room" so that I can mix and record in a garden apt. at 2 in the morning!
