Magic

I don’t know if the Klon Centaur is like this, but with the RYRA Klone, the magic happens when you goose up the high end. Woah!

New Stuff

They are gone. We can relax now. Well, now that everything has been thoroughly disinfected and all.

They used a couple of our pans to empty out the drain hose from the old washer. Those pans are now test driving the new dishwasher. They also told us that the metal rack in the microwave oven is safe because it’s a single, continuous piece of metal and there are no arc points. I’m sure that’s true, but I’m still removing it.

Freaking Out

They are here. They are installing a dishwasher, a microwave, a power outlet for the dishwasher, and a shut off valve for the water to the dishwasher.

I’m not panicking, but I am freaking out a little.

It’s Still There

The used Vox AC15 I was checking out the other day is still available. I told myself it was still there on Tuesday morning I was going to pull the trigger.

That Pedal Show did a whole episode on the AC15. I forgot about this one. The used an OCD pedal…. this was pre-racist rant. I’m not using mine anymore. Likely ever.

Music

Remember those 11 June Music songs? Neither do I.

The great re-recording project continues. I’m looking at it like a series of two or three EP’s. I have eight songs earmarked for volume one. Two of them got rhythm guitars on Saturday, two on Sunday, and one tonight. I think I’m going to redo on of the Saturday songs. Two more songs got good guitar takes about a year ago, but I know I can do better. The eighth song got rhythm guitars back when all of this started, five years ago, but I’m going to redo those as well.

Tonight’s song included slide guitar. Just for a noisy effect, not for anything even remotely melodic. I’m the world’s worst slide guitarist.

Now, I need to get back to the June music. I’m not abandoning it at all. Also, I need all of this crap finished by the time 50/90 starts on the Fourth of July.

Yikes!

Squirrels are Pricks

Luthier Tools

I don’t know how to use any of this stuff.

15 Watt 1X12 Tube Amps

I’ve watched this video a bunch of times and I was watching it tonight because I couldn’t fall asleep.

They compare three 15 watt combo amps with a single 12 inch speaker: Fender Blues Junior, Vox AC15, and Fender Bassbreaker 15. I have a Bassbreaker 15 and it’s currently my #1 amp for playing at home. I mentioned earlier that I’m on the verge of talking myself into buying an AC15 too. I want to run the two amps together and if I can get enough volume out of the combination they might turn into my gigging rig (assuming the Coronavirus ever allows us to play gigs again).

Just posting the video (I bet I’ve posted this one before) to try and psyche myself into buying the Vox. That’s all.

It’s 11:30. I think I’ll be able to sleep now. Goodnight, everyone!
