I’m not saying I am going to buy an amp…

From an article, the quoted section below is in regards to the track Ice 9.

“So we packed up everything, we moved down the hall, we didn't have an amp, we didn't have microphones. I had this little Gorilla amp which was a practice amp and which no-one in their right mind would ever record with, but it was there. And I think I had it for just practising parts in the hallway. So we put that in the music room, and we didn't have a microphone, and so in Studio D there was this funky little talkback microphone that looked like it came from a radio studio 40 years earlier, so I said, ‘Can we use that?’

“So we took that, we unwired it, we hooked it up to my cable, we put it up against this little Gorilla amp which had a six-inch speaker in it, we turned everything up all the way, and then the Atari machine that we had had the ability to record in reverse without having to flip the tape over, which was a big deal back then. So that made it really easy for us because we didn't have a lot of time to be flipping tape back and forwards. I think it took 10 minutes just to get the sound and to record that thing, and we listened back to it and were like, ‘Okay, that's done!’”
 
Ugh… a VII with el34s is really what I want right now. I just hate how expensive they are. I’ve come really close to selling the AxeFX for one

NOOOO!

Even if I seriously wanted an amp, there's no way I could do this. All those amps and amazing effects, and running in stereo, in exchange for 1 amp.

I am fortunate to have both an AxeFx3 and a Mark VII, but I agree with @TSJMajesty, #nofuckinway.
