Happy cleans

This is a good pairing. Spent some time plugging the Epiphone Old Glory into the Vox MV50. Absolutely no drive & no pick. I'm not trying to emulate the Jared James Nichols approach. I'm not that kind of a player, not venturing into that territory either. Messing with some tapping ideas, forcing myself to be pick-free for this to happen. When you have the pick around, you tend not go astray.

I also feel that clean settings handle tapped notes better. Less accidents happen in terms of unintentional clicks & tweets. More importantly, I ventured out of my comfort zone & there were many learning points to reflect on. 

Nu-clean

My bout with Vox continues. It's the year-end sale anyway 😁

Vox: Tiny threat

This Winter NAMM 2017 will see the release of Vox's MV50 trio amp. It's one of those small wonders that'll make or break the manufacturer's innovation momentum. Tone chasers will be enticed to check them out namely due to their tube-type tone. The fact that there are no tubes in there will be an issue for players who would settle for nothing less than a tube unit but frown upon inconvenience in terms of maintenance & mobility. Whatever it is, let's hope that it is a source of good tones to get us by because that's the ultimate bottom line that we often deny.
