Been so busy with guitar, I still haven't had a chance to try this little beast on steel. Sounds great with guitar though. 100w into 1x12 with rotating drum. The front is roughly the size of a Deluxe ...

Haven't had a chance to run it with the steel yet.

I just picked up Motion Sound Sidewinder combo a few days ago. It's 100w into 1x12".

Has anybody used one of these for steel in the past? Comments, opinions?

Don't look at me, I'm still using a late 70's Session 400 that I picked up for $200 a couple years ago.

Former owner used it for guitar in a punk band...go figure. Shocked

Love the sound of that Jackson

All the windows updates are installed. A little behind on Nvidia drivers though.

The 3.6.6 update also suggested updating Adobe Flash so I updated that as well. After doing both updates, Youtube has had nothing but problems. The computer would freeze for a moment and the entire sc ...

Just for fun, got any "before" pictures?

Am I seeing right? I count ten pulls on that guitar - with only 2 pedals and 1 knee?

Ten fingers on each end for tuning(both open and for pulls) Each finger is a one piece unit.

I always thought of it as a thingamajig.

If I had to choose between listening to Bobby Vee singing Devil or Angel or the Beatles doing Twist and Shout, Bobby Vee would still lose today.

I couldn't understand why the "British Invasion" happened. At the time I regarded most of the British groups as being substandard, trying unsucessfully to copy American styles. What knocke ...

I seem to remember John Phillips saying that it was Denny coming in early by accident but the final outcome was the same. The mistake worked so well that it was kept.

It might not sound great but it's easier on the back. Razz

Speakers are also the weakest link in the chain due to the percentage of power that is lost as heat. I seem to remember an old Guitar Player mag article that stated something along the lines that if s ...
