Stopped by GC on my way to tonight’s gig…

[metropolis_4]

… and amp #2 followed me out the door

I had a moment in the store… it was actually a little embarrassing. AC30s and Telecasters were my thing for so long through more gigs than I can remember, but I haven’t played one since going digital about 10 years ago.

I saw this one, grabbed a Tele, plugged in, set the knobs where I remember always setting them… and after I hit the first chord I got all choked up and emotional. So many memories came to me and it was just instantly my sound.

I am beyond happy right now. I’m home

Not embarrassing it all! We should all be lucky to have a moment that moves us in that way. Congrats!

Your gut feeling is always right, the nose knows.
Keep it and treasure it, you have returned to your destined path.

 

[gearJunkie]

Congrats! I almost got choked up reading your post.

Nice! If that’s “your amp”..never let it go, even if you ever get a “digital kicker” again. For reference and a rainy Sunday morning session alone they are worth it.
(Bookmakers are calculating the odds of you trying capture tech the next 12 months though )

I do loathe the design of that head though. Just because they wanted to use the combo chassis they made an amp where the knobs are in an impractical place.

In any case congrats on the new amp! What cab are you using with it?

Oh man I’m jealous! I’ve been keeping an eye out for one of the vox AC15/30 heads for a while now.

Does this one have the built in attenuation?

 

[Stone]

Congrats Met, very happy that made your day
