Default Gear for Nothing and a Happy Wife



My wife and I have been decluttering at home. This weekend my lovely, patient wife finally got tired of a rack guitar amp system that lived in a jumble of road cases that I had stored in our upstairs hall, so she asked me to make the jumble go away. I found an interesting way to convert the old gear into newer gear and please my wife. You can read about my little triumph on my little website, HERE, and a review of an interesting pedal I was able to acquire as a result, HERE.

Bob

Nicely done, Bob.

We’re fortunate to have a number of Music Go Round locations here in the Twin Cities, and I’ve had consistently good experiences with them. They’ve provided a new home for all sorts of bits and pieces over the years, and have always treated me fairly.

No, you won’t get as much for your gear as you would if you sold it privately, but it’s way less hassle, and as long as you have reasonable expectations of its value, it’s a worthy option.

I have always wondered what that Marshall JMP-1 unit sounded like. I have dealt with Music Go Round and had good experiences!

The two clean patchess are very nice, one is extremely sparkly. The two drive patches sound a bit harsh to me, but I probably need to pull the treble and brilliance way back on the power amp I use because the JMP-1 has those controls in it.
