Ok I have to ask: what’s the deal with Orange amps? I see them frequently online in guitar and gear Facebook groups and other forums. People seem to love them. I’ve never tried one though so I’m just curious.

@Theblueone @RuVerb @Cyrus @eyesquash I tried a 30watt head / cab combo at a California guitar store back in March. Looked great. Played just clean tones and it was fine. I prefer a Fender style 6V6 to the Marshall style EL34 circuit so take that for what it’s worth. I can’t see myself buying an amp with EL34s.

Learning ‘Tea In The Sahara’ by the Police. I’d like to develop a cover version. It’s deceptively simple and I can’t put the melody in a scale that fits the chords. Anyone? Bueller?

Chord chart for new track ‘1986’.
Inspired by the All In setting on my UA 1176 compressor, this riff has full chord strumming that needs a thinner pick. This might be the track that requires me to mic the Half Pint. As good as my other amp is into my audio interface, the Half Pint sounds better, even recorded on my iPhone.

@hilljam @shannoncurtis Top shelf SNL skit. Way back in the 90s I called a DJ and played a snip of this skit I had recorded on videotape. Yeah, videotape. I picked a name by random from the Yellow Pages under the Wedding DJ section. Yeah, the Yellow Pages. It was early days for the internet and Shazam was just a comic book character, not the audio genie app we know today. What song is this? I asked the DJ. Without hesitating he answered “What is Love”, Haddaway.

Cusack Music Project 34 Selenium pre/drive.
It's kind-of like a klon: vol, tone, gain, can boost and/or add dirt.
Has a switch to add bass.
I'd say it's more creamy than fizzy in character.
I don't know where to put it yet... which pedal to take off the board, where to put it in the chain.

@eyesquash Was this the pedal possibly to collect but not use because of its rarity? If so, kudos for plugging it in and making noise with it. 👍🤘🎸

@eyesquash Made me think of this from Josh Scott’s JHS videos “He has the box”

Competitive treadmill, where the daily word is disasters, natural and man-made, people f*cking up and lying, and now, sports and weather.

Where a few excel and are awarded comfort, most don't, and then we all die, having made things just a little bit worse. Most don't know or don't care.

Any escape would be welcome.
And the company of like minds.

Here's some dogwood.

@eyesquash Subdivisions popped into my head when I read this lament although it doesn’t quite fit the sense of injustice, ignorance and greed you’ve expressed here. But these lines are close: “Any escape might to help smooth the unattractive truth…” and “some will sell their dreams for small desires or lose the race to rats. Get caught in ticking traps. And start to dream of somewhere to relax their restless flight.” Peace to you today.

I got my old acoustic professionally set up in the fall and now that it's spring it's time to do it again myself. Action and neck relief seem fine but I have a little buzz on the D and G strings from frets 3-7. I haven't measured the relief but when I test it it clears the frets with a small gap, so it's not bad. I'm trying to figure out what to adjust. Does that sound like a neck relief issue, an action issue, or a fret issue? Or an "acoustics can have a little buzz as a treat" issue.
