I never met Don, but spoke with him on the phone several times back in the 70s. A very nice guy. I was working in a little music store in Urbana, IL and the owner (Marvin Lee) would buy/sell/trade inv ...

I have a Revelation, V8 and SMS they each sound different but all are amazing. SMS sound the best with IEMs. Brad makes the best gear!

Agree with Tony on all the above that I got to see. I was also moved with Jack Phillips set on Friday. So many songs Buddy used to do in St. Louis, really brought back memories.

The bag for a Martin backpacker travel guitar fits pedal rack and legs perfectly. The Gator 49 keyboard rigid padded keyboard bag works great for the D-10 body. You just can't stack stuff on it.

After an afternoon "amp shootout" with several different components, I'm doing similar to Brad with the Shesh into the front of my V8, using a Quilter 101 power amp input for power. Makes my ...

New Fender Champion 20 has digital reverb/delay w/tap tempo sounds pretty good for practice at home $129 I use the blackface voice model. Headphone jack and aux in too. A lot of features for pretty ch ...

So sorry to hear this news. I sat next to b0b at a clinic at Scotty's one year, that was a great experience for me - I don't remember who's clinic it was...but I sure remember my conversations with b0 ...

Not sure who's on which recording, but Redd Volkaert is on a lot of Clinton's stuff.

My band plays St. Louis, Alton, Alto Pass, etc. I've also done pickup gigs in that area as well. Played with a George Straight Tribute band in Godfrey last weekend. Danny Weaver lives close to Alto Pa ...

I have the input and output on the V8 straight up 12 o'clock, input on the Quilter 11:00 and master wide open. I'm using a Quilter 101 mini on the Full Q setting

I've been using a V8 into the regular input on a Quilter 101 for about 5 years. I thought it just sounded better this way than using the effects return. I had to play around with gain stages on both, ...

My 108Ns have the same M5189 number stamped in the plastic, but also a 108n sticker (hand written)

Very exciting news! Can't wait to hear more!

I agree with Paul, gain staging is an important part of the V8 to find a sweet spot I try to run input volume between 12:00 and 1:00 and the knob on the back around 1:00 and turn down my amp input dep ...

My V8 has a mid control, but I run bass at 1:00, mid 9:00 and treble at 12:00

Thanks for these! Can't wait to try them out!

Brad I have a 1208-4 basket (4 ohm) but it has a paper dust cover. New old stock still in the box

Doyle still does sessions he's on lots of "Trop Rock" stuff. I've had the pleasure of doing several shows with him for the Parrot Heads festivals (back when we had festivals and gigs) hoping ...

Here's 3 pics of the same guitar, Buddy playing it with old and new logos (yes Jeff put a sheet over his head) - I'm guessing he must have swapped out the old decal for a new one. He indicated to me t ...

I have a pair of brand new empty cabs I got from GD a long time ago. We did some trading for gear years ago. They have been up in my office, never used.

OK I updated the Kemper to the new software, got the Britt Little Walter profile dialed in - in my Westones it sounds really similar to the Dr Z Surgical Steel but I can get more bottom out of the LW. ...

Michael what kind of EQ settings did you come up with for the LW 50 profile?

I've got a few push pulls (more than I deserve) but my favorite workhorse guitar is an early 80s push pull with the Legrande pedal rack. It has the best response on stage for me. It barks!!
