Hosted a Tone Party yesterday

[catzodellamarina]

Quite a nice turnout. I forgot pics of my own stuff. I was too busy hosting. I had free T-shirts & prizes for every guy who brought an amp. Also free pizza. Next year I'm thinking we need an amp girl.

What a delicious menu!

Which was the most pleasing to the pallet? How did that Fuchs taste?

[HeWhoIs]

Forgot to ask if anyone brought a Vetta?

[VitaminG]

it's not on the menu

Looks like a fun day. a bunch of guys hanging out with amps, free t-shirts, pizza. Doesn't get much better. Unless you had an amp girl....

forgot to ask - how do the Kranks stack up in that company?

[catzodellamarina]

Thanks guys. There were a variety of players and all tastes had an amp worthy of representation. The "Menu" was 2/3 complete. I had some guys just show up which was OK by me. No Vetta to compare. I don't remember the Fuchs. I was busy with pics, questions, T-shirts, so sometimes it was a blur to me.

As a rocker, I liked the Soldano and the Marshall Jubliee best for live rig. The Carr was my pick for home amp. Of course the Bogs and Rectos were all good too. The Two Rock head was nice for jazz. Had some badass Fenders for blues too. Overall not a bad amp in the bunch except maybe the Chadwick. I do think it was unanimous that the Kranks fell short of expectation. The Revolution was cool but comparisons with the 5150 were so close, many of us wondered why spend the extra on the Krank? The Zwengel had a sweet drive channel but when you kicked in the boost channel, it got buzzy and lost definition.

Hmmm, I don't recall a JCF invite!?

nice menu

Next time all are welcome to come to Iowa.. follow the light... don't get lost in the corn.

I actually mentioned I wished JGCable and his perfectly tweeked Vetta 2.5 could show up. Line6 has been here and gone in Iowa. Didn't sell too well.

Wow! Someone else owns a Zwengel!

I have a Banshee 50 head and Zwengel 4x12 cabinet. I really love it. My boost channel sounds better than you described. I like it better than my friends Mesa F30, which does indeed sound buzzy. Ah, it's all subjective though, isn't it?

Sounds like a great time. Congrats.

Definitely subjective. I had an F30... it only sounded buzzy when I played my Fender Double Fat Strat through it. All of my other guitars sounded fine.

Have played his PRS and my SLATQH through it; wasn't blown away by its heavy overdrive. Sounded really thin to me.

Oh well, he doesn't care my Zwengel, so in the end, everyone's happy!
