    NYC resident here buying first LP. Hunt one in person or buy online?

    I would do whatever suits you, man. I too live in Manhattan, have > 10 LP’s, take the subway all the time with them, and have never ever had a problem

    Hi-Tone amps - any users?

    The CP IS the Townshend-Leeds circuit (CP103). I have a 30 and a Lowatt CP- both are incredible. I actually asked Clayton that very question, and his answer was that they just weren’t as popular as the 50’s and 100’s. He’ll still make a 30 as a custom order, though

    Hi-Tone amps - any users?

    Funny enough, my 30 watt CP30 has more of the 100 watt feel than my 50 watter. I think there may be something about 4 power tubes that gives a certain feel…

    Hi-Tone amps - any users?

    I’m a huge Pete Townshend fan (hence my love of the CP circuit), but the SAP and JP’s can get you close. The SAP and Lead circuits are a little more Marshall flavored, with a touch more gain on tap, and I got the SAP for variety’s sake. The JP is closer to the original Hiwatt DR circuit...

    Hi-Tone amps - any users?

    Me! I have a CP30, a Lowatt SAP combo, a CP103, and a Lowatt CP combo on the way. And an original ‘75 Hylight Hiwatt DR-504, but I almost always play the Hi-Tones instead. Best amps made today. I have a bunch of other amps sitting around it that I’ll plug into sometimes, but after a few...

    Yet another '59 Replica!.... Video and Pix

    I’ve noticed that every single one of your posts involves you poo-pooing other people and then taking exception to the “few times” you come around these parts. What’s wrong…not potty trained in the real world? Have to come here for your poos?

    It doesn’t avoid it at all. It’s the perfect example of it!

    $400 for a vintage-correct bridge (originals fetch far more!) isn’t all that nuts. People dump way more money than this into pedals that end up making them sound worse.

    EC ,, what the F$%^K

    If I had to limit my musical taste (and heroes) only to those who were responsible, I’d have a very limited pool of people to listen to or emulate.

    EC ,, what the F$%^K

    Yeah, this is sorta fucked up, but methinks the only reason this is getting global attention (specifically Rolling Stone) is due to Clapton’s recent perceived transgressions re:Covid. Remind me never to sell my old Clapton boots!
