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 😁

Mini bug

Guitar dweebs- Summer NAMM 2018 is upon us. The Vox camp believes it's time to rev things up with a scaled down version of what the Beatles equipped themselves with in their heyday- a Vox stack. Seen here the aforementioned amp- the Mini Superbeetle MSB25 they call it- in its stacked glory featuring Korg's Nutube technology so you get tubes in there but not the standard affair. 

The amp features an open back cab sporting a 10" driver & a DEEP/ FLAT rear switch for a wee bit more EQ refinement. This might get the nostalgic among us going but a Vox affair of this nature shouldn't stir the drive inclined among us into real interest. Unless of course, you are the nostalgic type living in denial while going round in that heavy metal outfit. 😬
