There's nothing like a touch sensitive amp played with the right touch!

I sold my Ghia recently, but when I did gig it I had to use drive pedals, as I rarely got the amp up loud enough to just use the guitar's volume pot. That surprised me at first as I was hoping for the guitar-cable-amp approach, but I ended up using my usual KOT with maybe a bit of boost from the KTR, (now for sale). Xotic BB/RC combo worked well too. That was with the Doc's 2x10 cab, but I never tried it with a less efficient speaker such as a single 12" Creamback which I'm using now.

That's all.

stephen: I could use one of those variable foot switches too. Please let me know if you have any information on where they might be available. Thanks Nov 12, 2024 18:42:32 GMT -7

paulted: Just picked up a Maz 18 2 x 10 and loving it. Can’t seem to find a variable boost footswitch anywhere, does anybody know where I can purchase one? Nov 12, 2024 3:22:37 GMT -7

tooloud: Back to this place with the new 'name' and the one lovely Carmen Ghia 2011. Last time I was here as '6stings' and with Z28 and Monza, that must be like 10 years ago
