Hi son, I'm growing potatoes.

You know, I think about that question everyday... You see, whenever my F-50 is at a healthy volume that allows the poweramp to open up, I have earplugs in. This naturally cuts away some of the frequencies that I would need to hear to have a good opinion on it... But from what I can hear it sounds DAMN good. That opinion may actually be a little over the top, seeing that it's my first tube and first high quality amp.

I love the way the amp is set up in it's three channel configuration, and I've made a lot of use of all three of the channels in my music. In particular, changing inbetween the gain channel and the "contour"ed channel creates a great contrast in gain and volume. The contour channel itself is definitely what it's reputed to be... a Dual Rectifier clone.

I really like the built in reverb of my F-50 as well... although sometimes it can come off harsh. In that case I just turn the treble down

For settings(this is what I used at my last show), I generally have this on clean:
Gain: 9o'clock, treble: 2o'clock, middle: 10o'clock, bass 2o'clock, and master volume to max

And this for my gain channel:
Gain: 3o'clock, treble: 11o'clock, middle: 3o'clock, bass 10o'clock, and master volume at about 10o'clock.

Sorry for the long post in your visitor messages.

Hello everybody!

I just don't like digital at all. The only reason I have my Line 6 TonePort is because it's convenient and easy to use. Plus I can jam silently in my bedroom with headphones.

Tubes all the way for me.

I love my BOSS NS-2. I would rather have an ISP Decimator, but in the interest of saving money, the NS-2 was cheaper by far. I had a DD-3, but sold it as I never really used a delay. I'd love to have a chorus ensemble, but they cost way too damn much. BOSS and Roland stuff is expensive as hell, and trust me when I say the stuff is hardly marked up. Some of the more expensive pedals are only marked up $10 - 15 over cost!

When I worked at Guitar Center, I could make more profit selling a Pacific drumset with all the accessories for $1200 as opposed to selling a $4000 Roland electronic kit...

I dunno. I'm not really a pedal junkie. I prefer rack gear. The only pedals I have now are my NS-2, Morely Bad Horsie, and my Bloody Murder prototype. I do have a Sonic Maximizer rackmount, but I only use it sometimes with my Line 6 TonePort, it warms up the tone nicely, but it doesn't agree with my B52 (i'll have to try it with my 5150 II when it's fixed). That thing can work miracles with even the crappiest solid state amp, but it doesn't agree with my tube amp. (but I think it's because my effects loop cuts out WAY too much volume, if I turn the levels up, I clip. I've already blown a pedal in my loop...)

They were built tougher than BOSS pedals IMO... Except that lame plastic switch.

I figured they just re-boxed them. Digitech is the parent company to DOD. (if DOD is still around)

Well, they still make them technically, (the grunges) but they're under Digitech

I'm still loving it man, haven't ever had the urge to replace it once I listened to the Invader and decided it just doesn't sound as good

oh, sorry man, thought i got back to you PM'ing you now!
