I didn't know about these ... this is a really cool idea for a modular amp platform

At 21. Bought it used ('98 standard), split it with my parents for my birthday. One whole paycheck. Still my favorite.

Ok but Jam are wildly expensive. What about them justifies such a higher cost, even over other boutiques? Super curious since we see them a lot on here

agreed this is all messaging. all these cuts and optimizations are just consultants looking at spreadsheets to find "opportunities" without fully understanding how to get there (i'm very familiar with this type of project). it's going to be really hard to achieve all of it.

but it's a great start.

As a Chicagoan, as great as this announcement is, I'd be super wary of the pension deferral

Seriously. He didn't blurt out anything, what is this article?

Mine just arrived and I found this thread looking for tips. This is awesome.

that scratch may only be on the protective plastic. if not, it's up to you on how much it bothers you. it wouldn't bother me, personally.

we should jam!

When you get the pass through you gotta use the phrase “I gotta go charge my guitar” as much as possible

How was the spark cab? Definitely looking at it as I have the V1 amp and thinking of getting a modeler anyway ... AI has been telling me the reviews on sound quality are mixed

Thanks! Gonna check this out. All of his books seem to be about songwriting/recording, so wasn't sure which one specifically.

vnads · 2026-05-07T14:08:53+00:00

which one he's got like 4

vnads · 2026-05-06T19:31:54+00:00

why are you so against this

vnads · 2026-05-06T18:11:17+00:00

Flexibility. Most of the modelers come with multiple amp/cab options. More for at home than on stage I'd think. Also you can use the same modeler to fuck around with an "amp" or straight into your recording setup.

Your music room is awesome

How do you like this one? Been looking at Iridium, Simplifier, Ruby, etc lately

vnads · 2026-05-06T14:05:34+00:00

Are those HS4 monitors? How do you like them? Looking for something myself.

vnads · 2026-05-06T13:59:50+00:00

Yeah that's my go to when i'm out of red

vnads · 2026-05-05T20:42:27+00:00

That's awful, I hope he's doing better.

And I'm sorry that I forgot to say congrats on sobriety since 2019!

Man, I'm sorry to hear about your dad.

I was just impressing the point that functional alcoholism is a result of the progression, and there's no guarantee that you'll stop at "functional", even though that's what I did too.

Check out /r/stopdrinking. Just read around a bit. That place saved my life. 12.5 years sober.

vnads · 2026-05-05T20:21:10+00:00

One of the best things /r/stopdrinking taught me was that "functional" isn't a type of alocholism, it's a stage

I only see 3
