Julian,

That was a very cool way to put Ohio’s music culture in to perspective, Neil Young’ writing Ohio after the Kent State shootings and there is some very good music from Ohio, my son had the great fortune to meet Devo (the whole band) as his friend’s dad is doing a documentary on the band and they now have a label behind them with $$ so that helps, he was awestruck for sure and shook hands with every band member, it was a benefit concert for our President (when he was running for office at the time) at The Akron Civic Theater a gorgeous renovated theater (like a opera house!) The Black Keys played, The Pretenders
(C.Hynde has a veggie restraunt in Akron, Ohio and keeps a apartment in Highland Square (but is in the U.K.most of the time) our son went back stage for the meet and greet after the show ,lucky young man!
I have seen Pere Ubu (in various forms) many times (I did not realize The Breeders were from Ohio. cool, I was born in Ohio and have lived in Ohio except for about 4 years in Virginia. They are a cool band Kim Deely and others, My wife and I saw Devo at Lollapalooza (when it was a multi city festival) along with Korn, Snoop Dog and Tool, plus a second stage between acts and a third stage back near the woods at Blossom Music Center, Snoop is one wild dude smokin the ganja all through the show and the band
and yelling obcene words at the Police (local Akron Police and Summit County Deputy Sheriff’s (all armed) I do not know how they kept their calm when some one is yelling F the Police over and over.
Devo opened with their awesome film about De-evolution it is so cool and so far out and on a jumbo tron screen and great sound system it was a great start to a great reunion gig (most of the band grew up close to the place they were playing at (full circle I guess) I think my wife and I may have been of a handful of sober folks but it sure was a blast, my wife’s sister worjked there and got us tickets to that show and many more (often in to the pavillion rather than out on the lawn where you can get soaked if it rains!

Live Music is he best!

Peace

What I figured out (and figured it did not hurt to ask) was to get in touch with another very large

(non GC and affiliates) online and real store in Indiana and its a sweet….. place

and they were willing to match and excede the GC 15% (and out of Indiana no tax and they ship free (anything unless it weighs a ton) SO rather than go in to a GC store and be insulted or taken advantage of (*the power supply issue) mine came with one from another store when I bought it) so when GC has the online coupons or catalog( physical or down load catalogs) with 10% off coupons on the back for the month or the 15% for the 4th of July call Sweet as GC and the rest of the affiliates as you see put a lot of exclusions on in store and online (often different exclusions as well) *good to see that E-H qualified and who really cares what color cables are (in a pedal board for example it helps to have different colors) I have Monster Cables (they are black ) and it was my final purchase at GC as they drove me bats while I was shopping there, I went there as I wanted to physically see the different cables I was buying (to get everything matched, TRS, Mono, Y cable and some short runs of cable)I love them and the sound change was incredible 9from using mismatched makes of cables but I hung on to them)now I only a great shop in Baton Rogue La. The Perfect Guitar & and The Perfect Bass (.com for online of each shop) its in one store but two web sites that you can toggle between
I have a good friend who works there and he managed a local Mom& Pop shop that was put out of business by GC (they moved in the new plaza 6 months after one of the family shops had relocated and that was that, a shame as they would help you out, match prices and +10% off , set up the guitar or bass with new strings of your choice and stand behind their products (and would never take a power supply out of product that should include one) SW is cool too, don’t get me wrong,they carry product lines that the other shop does not (at least now)

peace

That was a gorgeous piece, weaving in and out, very textural sound to it and excellent ++ sound quality , I am looking in to getting a 2880, this is making it easier!

Thank You for Sharing Your Talents!

I was lucky to grow up in a city east of Cleveland and at that time only one FM radio station (In San Fran, California was playing entire LP’s, WMMS 100.7 FM (the home of the buzzard more on that later)
after much debate with the station executives decided to go that route and became the second FM station in the USA to play LP oriented rock . It was awesome and they had some great DJ’s not instrusive but let the Lp’s rip. also on Sunday nights the King Bisquit Flower Hour played some fabulous concerts. While Cleveland is contastly bashed “The mistake by the Lake”, The Cuyahoga river caught on fire (actually noy once but over 50+ times) the mayor (Mayor Perk) was visiting a steel plant and tried a welding tool and caught his hair on fire so things do happen, but.. Cleveland broke so many bands most notably Bruce Springsteen, Ian Hunter and Mott the Hoople, David Bowie frequently qoutes Cleveland as breaking his music in the states, U2 played at a club (where all of the previously mentioned bands and artists also played (The Cleveland Agora) on their first and second trips to America, The Agora had a recording studio above the club and taped many if not all of the shows
and the clun was famous for its (live broadcast) and $5.00 admission to a Wed 12 noon show, I caught Harry Chapin there not six months before his untimely passing, what a player! The Police played their on their first US tour (with XTC)Unfortunatly the Cleveland Agora caught fire and was a total loss
though I belive the archives are safe of the taped shows that were played on WMMS 100.7 FM but as time changed so did radio and the all LP format went by the wayside as music exec’s wanted singles played and it all went down hill, the club did rebuild but the ambience amd mojo is not there (and the original club had a smal club in he basement for small local bands. I saw many if not all of the live shows then heard them again on the radio (as far as home of the buzzard, in Hinckley, Ohio buzzards return on the same day each year and their is a big panckcake breakfast and many spotters with binoculars, (Hinkley , Ohio is in the next county over from Cuyahoga County and I am not sure if the station refers to itself as “The Home of the buzzard any more or not, I have switched to college and internet radio. But thats what got me (very) interested in music , Imagine a whole Led Zepplin Lp, then a Pink Floyd Lp, then a Yes Lp, it really was like that! Now its not that way on FM at least.
Great idea for a forum topic!

Hats Off, I think its really a cool idea and I have been meaning to get a extension cab for a Vox Pathfinder (15 watt solid state (non-reverb model) for quite awhile (it will drive a 4×12) so I will just (after finding out how much the 22 Character Power Amp is ) find a matching cab with the correct ohms for the Vox and use it on this power amp as well, nano tehnology! I agree with the post(s) about further EH involvement in amplifiers (and a bass model for the bass players) Could you use this with keyboards ? And I must say I laughed 9quite a bit) watching Mr. M Dance (that was the deal closer!)
just kidding Still wondering about the two new pedals that I read some where about (probably are in the forms , perhaps)

Peace
