I'm letting my guits rest until my new Agile AL3100 LP copy gets here Thursday. I guess i'm saving up for a day long jam to break it in. I can't wait much longer it's been a whole day since if played any.

The thread on the Marshall Class5 has me dragging the Vintage 5 out to the big room today. No comparison between the Bugera and the Marshall I guess... and there shouldn't be for the money they get. :lol:

Being a noob, I'll just plug my MIM into the Chinese amp and sit there fat, dumb, and happy listening to the nice tones. 8)

You've all no doubt heard " The Three Tenors" perform at some point, well tonight it was the turn of "The Three Tele's" :lol: I've been recording with them this evening, with my spider jam and backing tracks. I've learned a lot tonight, some of the looping turned out great :D It's midnight here now, so I'll finish up for the day. I'm going to do some more tomorrow, after a work out with the tube amps :wink:

Uh... the Powerhouse Strat into the Behringer 210.

Seems like too darn many choices but have found a couple of settings I like. Some things just sound awful... like "auto-wah". :?

It does "clean" and assorted echo/reverb pretty well with tweed or British amp models, clean mode (no gain), and U.S. speaker selected. And with no effects I can get a little bit of grit with the British model. Add hi-gain or hot and you get REAL LOUD... but at the price of a lot of hiss. :roll:

But... for a very cheap amp, I can't complain. I'm happy with it as a good starter amp. There's no way it will do everything well for the price point it sells at. 8)

Why do I feel like I need another guitar already? BTW... what does "GAS" stand for? :lol:

I haven't been able to play for a while, so it was wonderful to get to play today for quite a while ...

I started with the Squier thinline Tele. That guitar is the one I pickup when I play unamplified. Being semi-acoustic, it is really great for that. But when I plug it in with some high gain tone, it always seems to shock me how well it sings with a completely-different-than-the rest-of-the-bunch tone. It does have real Fender MIA Tele pups in it, and I really think that was a great mod.

After that, I brought out the bad-boy black SSS Fender Strat. I really wanted to explore with the tonal possibilities of new Digitech RP350 multi-effects unit. I had been using the Digitech's modeled Marshall tone (but only lightly overdriven) into my Line 6 head which set for full gain. That had been a very nice rich combo ... very sweet bell tones with sustain for days. But just to experiment further with the Digitech, I turned off the modeled Marshall entirely and added the modeled TS808 and some compression. Holy moly, that sounded good, too. And I mean really good. Lots of growl, the sustain intact, and very controllable. Even the harshest solid-state critic out there would have been smiling. Man, we be rockin' with tone tonite ...

I played my '88 Oly white Strat at band practice, today. It had been in dire need of new Pick Ups and a set up for some time. Last week I put in some Lace Sensors, just put some new String Screw Clamps on and it's ready for Gig this weekend at the Ski Resort (Snow Summit, in Big Bear Ca.).

:D 8)
