Consider for a moment why they're called 'alernative' or 'holistic' medicine instead of simply MEDICINE. It's because there is NO empirical evidence to support their claims. They simply cannot and have not passed the testing required. And believe it, they would if they could.....medicinal...

Variac. Dial down the voltage. Post at 4-5 is no problem. No attenuator, same amp, same cab, bedroom volumes, full saturation. Unfortunately there may be some other, less desirable effects on the internal components of your head, like the tubes and transformer. Like, they'll eventually fail...

Damn, I've blocked mine for 'down only' play since day one ( a LONG time) and never until this minute did I ever even think about even spring tension!!! I made sure the bridge was stable enough that if I broke a string (1 guitar band...) it stayed in tune so I could finish the song before I had...

OD808 in the loop? I admit I have never done it. I always thought of OD in the loop as really the only taboo, as far as fx placement went. Hey, if it gets you your tone, cool. For me.. Guitar->SD-1-> 5150-> Loop out -> CE-5->DD-2->GE-7 (solo boost)-> Loop in-> Marshall 1960/Greenbacks...

I second Marcus's findings. I also really liked the 81 at 18v, but I am finding myself wanting 'that' sound back, the original 81 @ 9v thing...

I've been using an SD-1 with my block letter for years and I am TOTALLY jonesing for a TS-7!!! Not complaining about the SD-1 at all, mind you, I like it LOTS...for $40 I could have thrown a TS-7 in the mix anytime, never felt the urge/need... until now. great. want.

The "God" answer, although it appears very simple, is in fact incredibly complex as it relies on incredibly complex ideas such as love and purpose Sorry....what? I'm guessing you certainly don't mean that I am, or anyone else who shares my position is simply too...err...simple to...

I lol'ed at 'Drummer World' Hahahaha!! Too true I'm afraid. Let me see if I've got this straight. He's playing poorly, off tempo (!), sloppy, he doesn't practice, won't practice, you've mentioned this to him several times if not repeatedly and he has made no effort to remedy the situation...

To answer the original question, I am an Atheist, and have found Mr. Murphy has most closely detailed my position. But I'm also an Anti-Theist. That's right, religion poisons everything, including this lovely message board. Apply the P.E.A.R.L. principle to pretty much anything. Physical...

Beautiful guitar, I love the design aesthetic:rock:...congatulations on your new instrument, and congratulations on choosing it because it meets your needs, not because the industry 'sold' it to you. I don't care who designed a guitar, who built it, who plays it, or most of all the price...

....Clean the FX loop jacks....really.....common problem that causes the aforementioned volume/gain/bottom end dropouts, crackling and a bunch of other weirdness. And the fix is free if you've got a can on DeOxit/electrical contact cleaner around......................

Yeah, seems to be the 'thing' with my block letter too, and I see folks posting 'please help, 5150 acting weird' threads all over discussion boards...so, since I'm not a tech., can't the suspect parts (jacks) be replaced? Presumably this would be a pretty simple fix, even though they're attached...

:rock: That sounded great Glenn

^ ^ Agree.
