Congrats. I think it's great all around

Have you tried the app Anytune? It'll slow it down as much as you want and you can pick out even the most complicated solos. For the last gig I played it was the key for me learning anything that I didn't remember from the last gig (75%).

When you remember booking a Pan Am, Braniff, Eastern, or BOAC flight.

Just added it as a special special request for you. Hopefully that'll work!

Wow great to hear from you Valeriy, it's been a long time. Thank you for asking about my in-laws. They are safe and returned back here to LA 3-4 months ago. It was quite the experience. They showed up one day and called my wife and said, "we're back, let's have dinner." I hope you are doing well. Best regards, Phillip "Tman"

Yep Black Squirrels are rare, just like the number of people that actually purchased their music 😅

There is a band called Black Squirrel. 🙂

Appropriate day to watch that one

I love it for fingerpicking and every other endevour on an acoustic. It is rock solid in every way including intonation and staying in tune. I think that conveys my opinion adequately.

Korean dramas.

Lars you made the point abundantly clear the first few times you said it in the thread🙂 In a perfect world I'd play with a tube amp, I even have a Tone King which is the best sounding amp I have ever owned period but I am selling it. Just too heavy to lug around and that includes to the studio where it is infinitely easier to just use the digital sounds already included in the DAW and tweak them. On the album I recorded in 2017 it was 100% digital. Can't tell listening to it. Things are even better today. Regardless I won't try to sell you on it, I'm sold because of convenience, great quality and most importantly, light weight.

Not sure about the firmware but I'll check it tonight, good advice and I remember comments made about it in the original thread. I do know the reverb is very impressive when I played the amp.

Reviving this necrothread because I just got the Black paneled Deluxe Reverb (formally known as Blackface Deluxe Reverb). Floor model extremely good price. Damn this thing is amazing. My research before the purchase consisted of this covid era thread. Loads of good stuff. Because of the attenuator, I can play it overdriven without blowing everyone out of the house. Because of the weight, I can move it without asking my son. Strong work on many levels Fender.

Yep, In a Rodney King sort of way

I wasn't smart enough to go that route. Live and loin.

At least you have been sofisticated enough to try to address what you thought was a tone deficiency. In college (early 80s) I used to throw a blanket over my non master volume amp to get overdrive and not blow everyone out of the room. Talk about treble bleed.

I bought a Mooer GE 250 for around $350. It amazing and fits in a back pack. Technology is advancing so quickly. Great stuff.

2 days after the event and no signs of Covid. Praise be especially since I just had it and rebound a month ago. So Albert staccato picked/jammed for minutes at a time. The crowd went wild.

😃 Great to have cool venue like that

Agree, breathtaking. I love that one is a leftie.

You got it!

My wife called me a few weeks ago and asked if I'd heard of Albert Lee to which I replied of course. He will be playing at The Canyon. The Canyon Club is a small venue 6 miles from our house and a mile from her office and they don't really advertise but very often get great acts. Farns, it is next door to where we had that great Mexican meal. The Foo Fighters play there, John Hiatt, and a bunch of 70's bands that used to be really famous. She said isn't he the British guy that plays the fat Gibson (335) that you like? That's another A. Lee. She asked for the names of his biggest hits and I couldn't name any embarrassingly so we listened to his music for the last couple of weeks and went to see him last night. He was phenomenal. His chops are amazing. He played a red Ernie Ball Music Man Albert Lee signature of course. We walked in and his bass player was Dave Chamberlain who played bass on the only album I have ever played on! We were floored. After the gig we saw people going back stage so we asked the bouncer if it was ok to say hi to Dave the bass player and he said Sure, go say hi to Albert too, he likes it. What a friendly guy. Turns out he lives about a mile from us. Great night. I'm the grey headed guy next to Albert.

Or if they were excited about it: HNHGD. That was great and learned a lot, the HG expert was fantastic. A lot like a bagpipe and he even played amazing grace like a bagpipe.

Similar one that is actually a true story: 10 medical students were in a VA large exam room divided into 10 exam spaces by curtains. Everyone could hear everyone else. The students were completing their first physical examination by asking questions about each body part being examined. A female ivy league school graduate was doing the genital examination of a 75 y/o veteran and asking him about his function while she was palpating him and asked" Are you able to achieve and maintain an erection?" His answer, with a thick Arkansas accent, was, Ma'am, you keep on doin that, I'm gonna have a resurrection."

I've always only used a talk box which isn't really a pedal until this year when I played a gig this summer. Multi effects pedal all the way from now on. Even subtle things like reverb which is mostly what I do except difficult solos where I kick in echo that makes me sound like Steve Vai (kinda)
