For the first time in a really long time I got to sit down and play with the DB amp. I put on a few backing tracks and played to them with a guitar I have for sale. EPI LP.
I was was blown away by how everything came together. It's been years since I played with distortion on a DB amp. But I got it dialed in and it sounds amazing. I will be doing a video on the amp soon. I wish I could do a video with the backing track. But as soon as I put the cam on the music turns off.
But anyway, It sounds like my old self. My wife was excited over it. She said she had not heard me play like that in a long time and it even made her dance. LOL!
This amp it one of the last ones made in the USA. Super clean amp. The guy I got the amp from said he got it new 2 years ago. But, it must have been new old stock.
Well, I like the amp a lot! It is easy to get a lot volume sound out of it without it blowing you ears off and still sounding good.

Cool Eddie, looking forward to that video. Maybe you could play a backing track on your wife's phone and record with your's.

That's something for us to look forward to Eddie. I think our attentions are often too heavily leaned on the guitar and ignoring the major contribution on sound afforded by the amp. It's obvious when you stop to consider what effects pedals are capable of?

Cool amp. Concerning the backing track, I've used a bluetooth-enabled speaker I got from Amazon set near the amp. I used an older iPad for the music (kind of like Dane's suggestion) and did the video with my iPhone. I think it turned-out good; good-enough for streaming!
I recently bought one for my back deck; it is a little bit bigger, rechargeable and super loud! Certainly good enough for jamming along to with a small amp.
Your mileage may vary, and Good Luck,
John

I recently bought one for my back deck; it is a little bit bigger, rechargeable and super loud! Certainly good enough for jamming along to with a small amp. Your mileage may vary, and Good Luck, John I do have bluetooth enabled speakers. Well one anyways. But, what I do use is a stereo system that has bluetooth on it. That is what I use for the backing tracks. One problem I ran into was copy righted backing tracks. So, I just found one that says it can be used free of charge.
Yes, I think I'll use my wife's phone to play the music, and use mine to record it. I have a few things I can try as I sit here and think about it. I have to go in for a test (doctor) tomorrow. So maybe by the weekend I can mess around with it and do a video. I will have to wait and see how I feel after the testing. The doctor is trying to find out what is going on inside me. LOL!

I know I've said this before, this supposed to be fun. Don't stress out over the time line. And good luck with the Doc.

Well got the testing done. Not fun! They did a lot of biopsy's and now I'll have to wait on the results. Kind of still out of it today. They had to put me to sleep to do the tests. I don't do well after waking up.

The happy juice is good stuff but it does take a while to come back. Fingers crossed!

Let's hope you get some peace of mind once your results become known. It's been a long path to travel Eddie. Rootin' for ya.

Been a hard day today. But I am getting to were I am feeling better. I came up with an idea on how to do a video using a backing track. I dug out my old iPad and charged it up. Hooked it to You Tube. So far so good. Now I need to hook it up to my bluetooh in my guitar room. Should work out fine. I will see this weekend. I hope it will work out. I know it will, but, there is always that 1% chance that it wont. LOL!

Getting closer to making a video of this amp.
Got my iPad working with You Tube. It has been a long while since I used YT on the iPad. Yep I had to update it. What a hassle that was. I ended up deleting the one on the iPad and downloading the new YT app.
Well, I now have it working. So I'll see sometime soon how it will work out. I did find a few free to use backing tracks. They are kind of lame but I'll try a few out before I record. I am wanting to do a video that sounds like I am play in a band. That way one can get a better understanding of how things sound.
I think I am going to use a EPI LP standard, in a dark kind of burst. I have it up for sale. I thought it would help sell it.
So, today I am feeling much better. Nice to be able to eat again. I know how to loos pounds. Go to the doctor and tell the doctor you need some test ran. By the time all the testing is done you will have lost at least 10 to 15 pounds. LOL!

Good to hear some more positive notes from you Eddie. Try this out for size: youtu.be/JC2eu03_oxYI have its predecessor the Trio without the "+" suffix. The only difference I can make out is that mine has no way to save creations- they are one-time and over-written, but they are at least saved until the next time you switch on to use. I do wish they'd brought out the Trio+ before I bought mine though, anyway- I can daisy chain a looper if necessary. I can confirm that they are no gimmick and really very good indeed. I'm limited by my own lack of kick down timing that inhibits my use of loopers generally, but everyone else seems to be conversant with loopers. It's simply fascinating to see what this thing can do, but the remote footswitch is mandatory in my view. No more intellectual property rights considerations ... and Billy-No-Mates' bedroom band of choice! e&oe ... |

I may have to look into buying one. Thanks for reminding me.

The Peavey sounds really good Eddie. Also, nice playing that lets us hear the sounds better than the majority of YouTube widdlers.
