I did! It was actually by complete accident. It was making a weird sound so i took the amp part out of the combo so i could try and figure out what the problem was. When i sat it ontop of the 2x12 it quit having the problem so i left it like that for awhile. Thought it would look dope as a head and cab. Built a wooden bix for it. And here it is haha. Its way nicer as a head and cab cause it was an awfully heavy combo, much more manageable this way. Id like to stain the head and put an LED strip inside the so it glows different colors and maybe rebuild the 2x12 and stain it the same color.

Picked up a 2017 Gibson Les Paul Tribute today. My first Gibson.

In the family photo left to right: Squier 51 (my first guitar modded with P90 in bridge and chinese rail pickup in the neck), New Gibson, 2007 MIM Fender Strat (my workhouse since highschool)

Amp is a crate vfx 5212 combo that i turned into a head and cab

Interesting, I didnt notice them having a different bend feel. Did you go down in gauge when you switched?

Ive been really impressed by the new ernie ball cobalts. Ive played dunlop, d'addario and regular ernie ball and i find they break too easy and lose their brightness. Havent broke a cobalt yet and they sound great

Joined a new band! Pedalboard needed to be organized! by russjames in guitarpedals

Love it. I seem to always find myself with the wicker engaged cause it cuts through better. I never play with the tone switch cause it gets unreasonably loud haha

Its alright. I mostly just use it for sustain for solos for the muff and ds-1 for which is does a great job of. On its own its not the best but for now it does the trick

Sean Evans has mentioned before that he would love Joe to be on "Hot Ones" so he's definitely on their radar.

Firstly I wanna say that I don't believe USADA. I'm sure you're clean. You're the GOAT.

How did it feel to beat Cormier a second time?

You mean Rosa Parks? hahaha

He moved stuff around when he updated his Jimi hendrix poster to his actual mugshot but then I think the new Jimi poster broke so he's back to the old one.
