My amp shootout for Guitar Player Magazine

These guys are NOT full of shit.

They are working musicians like many of us.

I was fortunate enough to be a totally unbiased participant. I had total free reign. You naysayers, I can tell you with all honesty, you don't know what you are talking about.

Because I tried linking that and people were not able to connect.
If you find it so tiresome, well I am sure that you can find better things to do with your time, I mean it is only a matter of using your index finger to click......

I didn't really care for those amps, but I liked that blue Tele. What's the story on it?

It's unfortunately a Flash site, so the most you can do is link to the index page, which was why I had to list the steps to take after.

Good stuff. The B52 stood out from my ear point.

Our own "Mr. Coffee" put this beauty together. It is a KILLER guitar!! The sound does not do the amps justice. A dynamic mic was placed in the middle of the room in order to catch the amp tone. Both the B-52 and the Carvin were pretty kickass sounding.

Don't worry, you are not missing much, your amps do sound much better, and I still do want one or two of them even if you do come across sounding like an @-%*&# to me. I don't think your attitude was necessary is what I am saying.

Sampled a few of the clips......nothing to trigger my personal GAS.
I like the idea of online vid comparison.
However, it was just clips and not optimally recorded song tracks by actual amp owners who have honed their tone on the individual rig.

I just saw your location, I feel your pain, went to high school in Baton Rouge and born in Plaquemine. Too hot for me!
