Hmmmm, might also explain the popularity of the 211/845 over the 300B.

Umm, c'mon Mike it's about more than 'attitude'. It's about TONE.

This goes hand in hand with "attitude" when it comes to guitar
players.


LOL and this goes hand in hand with 'attitude' when it comes to engineers.

Just heard (again) on the radio some folklore regarding Keith Richards
getting "knocked out" by a shock off a mic with a
ground-fault-power-problem, lying there semi-comatose for 7 minutes, then
getting up and carrying on playing his guitar as if nothing had happened.

Truth be known, it did actually kill him - he's looked post-mortem pretty
much ever since. Mind you, he looked a bid ghoulish before too ...

Ahhh.

Do not go gentle into that good night.


It takes on a new and slightly different meaning when you are 70 and on
your own.

I still like it though.

Guys like you usually fall into two categories.
1. Repressed homos that have to talk big to overcome their inner
feelings. Tough talk makes them feel that no one will question their
true gayness.


Uh-oh...it's Ye Olde "You're Gay" post.


2. Small penis syndrome. Or, the very close related small man
syndrome. Angry, mad, bad temper....the signs are overwhelming.


Side order of Ye Olde "You Have a Small Penis" post.


Actually, your penis size is inversely proportional
to the size of your output transformer.


Ye Olde "If you've got a big OT, you don't need a big dick" post.

A more appropriate assessment is that a tube amp fails in a
predictable way, and as it fails (speakers break up, transformer
sags, etc) it produces a sound that seems to emanate from the
interaction of the player, guitar and amp.

And the story is that when recording the Marty Robbin's "Don't
Worry 'Bout Me" the bass player hit a note and it was distorted.

A tube had fallen out. He put it back, and then the producer
decided he liked it better with it out. Thus the first 'fuzztone'
was born.

A few days later Grady Martin recorded a song featuring this
new sound called "The Fuzz". This dates to about 1958 - and
remember playing both on the radio then. Of course only one
becamse a hit.
