Dave,
 
I sound great no matter what I play through...yeah, I wish!

dont you guys wish we started playing a simple instrument like the sax? all you need to carry is the sax and a mic, it could have been so simple haha! Ill be picking up a two rock very soon i believe, wish me luck

But Pat, don't forget about reeds, the mouthpiece, cork grease, ligature, neck strap... Sure, they all fit in the case, but forget just one and a gig can become a heck of a lot more interesting...

Nah, I don't like polishing brass and draining spittle, LOL! I'll stick to strings and frets.

I think a shot of penicillin will take care of it if you drain spittle after you polish your brass!

That's just wrong.

As an aside and just for sh*ts and giggles:
 
FWIW, The two guitarists for Donald Fagen's (Steely Dan) '06 tour, John Herrington and Wayne Krantz, were using Guytron and Bogner half stacks, respectively, and they both sounded great. The show was 3/1/06. I'd never heard of Guytron before, but both amps appeared to be Marshall-style, the Guytron being closer to the standard JCM-800 layout than the Bogner. Wayne had two different Bogner heads...one as a back-up...the main one was a channel switcher that he was constantly changing with a foot controller. Since I was in the front row (center), I got the 'Direct' stage sound as well as the PA sound. Both players has 2X12 cabs that sounded huge, even as back-line stand-alones. The sound crew used two studio-type mikes on each...one looked like a Neumann or Beyer condenser mike, the other looked like a tube- type vocal mike with the suspension. They were placed directly up against the cabs grille cloths at the drivers. While they both had pretty substantial pedalboards (and they used them fully and often...lots of footwork going on, LOL!), both amps got pristine clean jazz tones as well as good dirty tones. I have no idea what part of the dirt (if any) was attributable to the pedal board (all discrete individual stompboxes...no Pete Cornish or Bob Bradshaw stuff here, LOL!) and what part to the amps. All I know is they sounded good...and those guys can play whatever they want.
 
Anybody have experience with either amps or can anybody illucidate further into the aforementioned gentlemen's guitar rigs? Inquiring minds wanna know! LOL!
 
Cheers,
 
Kevin

Any feedback from you very experienced guitar slingers regarding the CyberTwins or the EVH combo from Peavey?  Certainly not boutique, but any experience with these two?  Guitarist friend thinks he's GOT to have one or the other.

Unlike when I first started playing and you had a choice of 2-3 guitar amps (there were always more than that, but if it wasn't a high-line Fender or Marshall you got no respect, LOL!), the choice today boggles the mind. Besides the 100's of mass-market amps out there, you have dozens of boutique builders all competing for your hard-earned dosh.  
 
BTW, Joey:
 
I don't mean to make you jealous, but my little brother just got a (red) KLR-650. Now I'm trying to get him to take the MSF course.

bigredbass, I owned a Cybertwin for about a year, but traded it in for a 65 Twin. Cybertwin = no tubes = no tone. Okay, it has a small preamp tube, but still no tone.

Most of the modeling stuff out there today is long on features, variety and bells/whistles, but short on tone, IMHO.
 
As I've said before, ad naseum, Just as good as seldom is, LOL!
 
Cheers,
 
Kevin
