Attenuating

I think it was yesterday that I posted something about messing with the attenuator settings on my Vox MV50 Clean, the amp I’m using for this month’s demos.

It has three settings; 50 watts, 5 watts, and 0.5 watts. I usually use 0.5 but today I turned the volume knob way down and tried five watts.

I want to say it sounded better, but I only played for a short time and I kept things mostly clean and quiet.

I’ll try it again with some dirt and some serious signal boost into the front of the amp and see how the little Nutube (which totally is not a gimmick) responds.

I’ll let you all know how it goes.

Negative Again

A week ago Monday I took my mother to the doctor.

Over the weekend we paid a visit to Jen’s mom.

Yesterday I saw Harry and went inside two stores.

Today I’m dealing with a bunch of common cold symptoms. The first hint of illness in about two years.

I took a home Covid-19 test. It came back negative. Kick ass, Covid-free-me.

Two vaccine doses and a booster, you damn well better be Covid free. I got your breakthrough case right here! (Picture me making some sort of rude hand gesture in Covid-19’s general direction)
