I'd always used the neck pickup on acoustic parts to remove the harshness of the high strings, and switch back to bridge for distortion so it would cut a bit more. Tonight I EQ'd the super bass with a little less treble and more bass on my cleans, so on the bridge pickup the clean tone was exactly what i wanted...then i dropped the bass and increased the mids and treble on the QM pedal. Now I just stay on the bridge pickup and my two main tones are taken care of...

It all sounds a bit trivial...but I had never been able to get a clean sound out of any amp that could substitute the neck pickup...If I tried, i usually got a lifeless tone that almost had no treble and was lost. But with this amp, it just works.

did I say before...I love this amp!

Also...BlackArts are redoing the Ritual pedal in custom colours...I had a chat to him about one and he gave me an option to choose a custom colour...but being the bitch that I am, I couldn't decide on one, so I gave him three different ideas...so his going to pick one and surprise me...cant wait to get a Ritual again and run it through my beast...so stupid for selling that pedal when I had it before.

I have them in one of my cabs. I don't play at high volumes, but they are not bad speakers at all. Big bottom end that holds together, but can be a bit ice picky with the highs if you are running a bright amp. I didn't really like the dirty channel of my Jet City with it, but the Orange Dark Terror and Blackstar play real nice with them.

I went with straight colours orange or the blue he uses on the QM...i would like either of those...but the more ambitious idea was a white one with light blue graphics and a big silver and black hi-fi knob

Saw uncle acid last night. It's rare that I'm blown away by a live band. In fact, in some ways I think I might just hate music because I usually am super critical and just don't like bands when I go to shows. But they were jaw dropping good. Great tone, super tight, great energy. It was the full package. I love their records and they were even better live, as any good band should be.

I always thought it sounded like they had a really good singer, but that a big part of the vocal sound was layered vocal tracks. I was all ready to be disappointed cause that's not going to happen live. But boy was I wrong. Both guitarists are actually great singers and the layered vocal sound is real in that both of them are singing together pretty much the whole time. And it was tight as fuck. The drummer was also the pinnacle of perfection. Solid as hell. Super tight. Very minimal fills. And he totally controlled the songs just with how hard he hit in a perfect way. Super dynamic and nuanced. Every hit was fucking perfect. And when it was right he hit really hard, which I love.

Best live band I've seen in a good while. Do not miss it if they're coming near you.
