New Stuffs!

Man, been swamped at work, with life and just generally to busy to live at the moment so I haven't been updating things... never again!

So, NAMM! It's what everyone's talking about... a few things up on my radar already:

Should be pretty fricken sweet! But maybe I am just a sucker for anything that Orange puts out.
And dude:

Suhr coming out with some insane stuff this year... this Hedgehog 50 and supposedly a Guthrie Govan signature amp, that's right Guthrie is now all Suhr sponsored, awesome.

What goes into creating an Amp

Came across a post this morning about a guy putting in an order for two Bugera amps only to be completely derided and eventually canceling his order because of the other people on the forum. Gotta love the Interweb! Anyways, long story short I ended up at a really cool blog by James Brown chief engineer at Kustom amps. It details the creation of his new Double Cross amp and I found it to be a really cool read and insight on the whole process from start to finish.

teh NAMM show!

The NAMM show, ahh yes, the ultimate gear fest of all... and I'm not going! Arrggh, anyways, I will try my best to bring you the cream of the crop from my trusty commandos on the front lines. I'll update you every night with the best of the best... I'll... Actually I'll just take the pictures that someone else took, take which ones I think are cool and then post 'em here... Yeah! That's what I'll do!

And so it begins...

So, you know how I was referring to getting jealous about a friends amp? Yeah well that person was me in-case you didn't already pick up on it. He picked up a very sweet Fender 57 Deluxe RI combo and I just couldn't stop playing it. After a couple of hours it was so hot you could smell the tolex burning and it was sounding sooo sweet. It got me thinking about how I don't really have the amp I need (I have a Marshall Vintage Modern 50w combo) and how I deserve a better amp, something that will be awesome and versatile... enter Fargen Amps. Another friend turned me on to this dude... AND he's local! Here he is demoing one of his amps... whaddya think?

VERY cool build thread

Came across this on HC and just couldn't stop reading. You couldn't make up the stuff that happens to this project and it makes for a very funny and sometimes scary read.

Welcome to my brain!

As I wrote out the title I realized just how scary this could get. I'll try keep this on topic but mainly I've created this spot as a place where we all can share any info or knowledge about any piece of "Gear" that you think is a must have or just way cool.

For those of you unfamiliar with the term GAS it means "Gear Acquisition Syndrome". In a nutshell this means you friend goes out and gets a new custom boutique amp head and you develop a serious case of GAS because now you want one... Ahem.

Alrighty then... I'm talking to absolutely nobody right now... So I'll be shutting up now.
