  1. I didn't start until I got into tweed amps. To own a 5e3 Deluxe is to get used to playing with your volume on the guitar. It makes such a difference, not just for volume, but for overall clean to grit. And I'm talking most beautiful Fender clean tone to the gnarliest, compressed, distorted tone you can imagine without pedals. You can do the same thing by running a compressor before drives/dirt. Volume stays the same, but the volume knob is now your drive/dirt knob. On the tone knob, I'm always trying to dial back the ice pick on a clean bridge channel if I can. Just a hair though. On the neck, I'm full on Freedom Rock!
  2. No channel switching for me, although I'd like to put an A/B/C on the Harvard's 3 inputs for a little nice/nicer/nicest boost. But I'm a volume knob rider as well.
  3. Presumably heads with a large cabinet? I have the Victoria 4x10, and while it can get loud (I've played it un-mic'd in a 1,200 seat auditorium), it definitely has some hair on it past 4/12 on the dial. The LPTT, while nominally the same wattage, is just a different animal, albeit a volume I just don't need these days, if ever.
  4. It's not a problem. It's a rescue. plus /yes, I removed the Lil Dawg tag and replaced with a Harvard tag because I'm vain. The rest of my boo-teek amps kept their tags because they're not ridiculous looking. Despite it all, Jim puts together amazing amps.
  5. I have a 57 Tweed Twin reissue (Low Power LOL) that stays clean (with just a bit of hair) far past comfortable at-home levels. My old Bassman 100 would shake the windows before it would give anything up. You're going to love the SFT. That pedal through my Tweed Twin is instant Altamont Stones. Just spectacular.
  6. Intriguing, but I need to keep what little hearing I have left. Plus, I don't have time to play all the amps I currently have in my guitar-amp rescue. I assume it's an old one? My wife never would believe another one followed me home.
  7. Nice. Next do #4 Porky's Demise.
  8. So much is about mixing it together. The superior burger move (Hamburgers by Gourmet, Houston, TX 1980s) is to mix the shredded lettuce with a bit of mayo and shredded sharp cheddar and put it on the bottom bun. Patty next, ketchup pickles, tomato. Mix yellow mustard and chopped onion and put that on the top bun.
  9. North of Tyler, and way east of Dallas. What were you looking at there?
  10. I've said it before, but if we get "President Musk" trending, TFG will send him packing in minutes.
  11. 2012 Panasonic Plasma going strong as well (knocks wood).
  12. Man, those 70s country songs were my car trip soundtrack with my dad as well. Lot's of Johnny Cash, Crystal Gayle, Conway Twitty, et al. All on 8-track. "Don't take your gun to town, son; leave your gun at home." He loved that. He'd watch Hee-Haw, and cackle. He'd watch the Barbara Mandrell show on the weekends, leaning back in his chair with his hands behind his head. He never missed an episode of Wonder Woman on Friday nights. Hearing those old songs takes me back too. I've had a few decades to heal, and so I'm usually able to hold it together. Mostly.
  13. My 2008 Samsung full-array LED ran just shy of that and still is rocking along and looking good.
  14. I'll take two people who really aren't aging well for $3.50.
  15. Soon, come spring, the alluring Cherry Blossom, in full bloom!
  16. I haven't done a biscuit cook on mine yet, but it cooks really evenly with the baffle in place. Here's a biscuit test that Phil did on one in house. Basically, there's almost no hot spot near the firebox outside of the baffle. Cool how it works. It directs most of the heat straight up. And as it looses temperature through the top of the smoker, it sort of rains down evenly across the length of it with some radiant heat coming through. So the thermometer over by the stack is pretty representative of what you're getting across the lower cooking surface. Check out the biscuit test with the baffle in place.
  17. We used to be a proper country.
  18. I incorrectly would have guessed the one in the middle. Maybe the Incel-Caminos need that armor addition (not that we-the-people should have to pay for it). Better advice: /I can't decide if I like name Incel-Camino or Wank-Panzer better.
  19. It actually is a failure of speech to text. But funnier still.
  20. We get "President Musk" trending and Trump and his fragile ego will send him packing toot sweet. What good is Elmo's having dirt on Donny if Donny can just say fake news and no one will care. His "hair" is attached to it.
  21. Maybe the Teslas just did Nazi it coming?
  22. Yeah, if you opt against sausage, there's always the beef rib. I tend to opt against it because I can barely stomach anything else afterward, but I've had theirs (from the Dallas location), and it was great.
