I Felt A Great Disturbance In The Force As Though Millions Of Amps Suddenly Cried Out In Terror.

[László]

But it was only one amp crying out in terror because it read my mind: the Fillmore.

I had all the amps going today, and kinda felt like dialing them in very similarly. When I got where I wanted each amp to be set, it struck me that between the DG30 and the HXDA, I could do without the Fillmore. There are enough similarities based on how I set the Fillmore's two channels up.

I thought to myself, what if I sold the Fillmore and got myself a Komet? That'd be quite a different kettle of...um...tone.

Anyway, I was about to list it on reverb, and then I started putting in the description of the amp's perfect condition, and the custom ordered leather covering, and the carefully curated NOS tube complement, and I thought...no one's gonna give me anywhere near enough to make a deal make any sense at all, and I like the amp.

"Stop now before you regret it," I said to no one in particular.

"Put down the fingers and back away from the computer!"

So I stopped. The amp stopped sweating and breathed a sigh of relief that was audible throughout Studio Craptastic.

Oh, I could buy a Komet without a one-in-one-out deal. But there would be hell to pay >>> .

Thank goodness?

I survey my herd and sometimes have the same thought process

Congrats on the saved marriage! As a life-long bachelor, I applaud those that can make it work, and you appear to have just made it.

 

[Alnus Rubra]

Phew.

I'm a life-long bachelor, too. However, my wife disagrees.

I would marry my Fillmore 50 if I legally could

Oh, I completely understand. It was just the temporary thought of a GAS sufferer.

I still love the Fillmore.

It's staying, of course!

I have decided that I am NEVER going to part with any more of my pre-Gibson MESA amps. Period!

I also never realized that my Mesa amps were tied into The Force. Good to know.

I had been looking at a Fillmore then the force told me to get something completely different an Orange OR15 found its way to my house to go along with the PRS HDRX20 and the Big Dog Mesa MKV90.

Sell the other two amps if the Fillmore covers their ground.

Is it "amprophilia" when you "plug in"?

I think you have made the correct decision László! Is it a Fillmore East or a Fillmore West? I guess based on your location, it is a Fillmore Midwest ;~))

If it’s not a guitar cable - yes.

I think the same way

There are states where you probably could.

There are states where you probably could.

I could do with a second opinion. If we only had a lawyer on a PRS forum...

I think the pre-Gibson Mesas may even power The Force.

The other two cover the Mesa's ground, the Mesa doesn't cover their ground as well.

They're not leaving until I leave the planet.

Which, heck, given my age, could be any minute now...

You make me realize I may as well not even start typing. It seems to be enough to tell myself I intend to sell some of them “when I have time.”
