Hi Kids – been kind of busy. My wife has told me she cannot do the stairs in our tri level house much longer to let the dogs in and out, but thought we could build a deck off of the upper level living room with stairs to the fenced back yard, and that would cut down on the trips up and down the stairs. So we have had contractors out to come up with plans, and estimates. As it turns out we will be using the conractor/mountain man that did our deck at our Lake House.
In gear news – I have decided not to get a Marshall DSL 15. Even at half power setting it is too loud to be practical for me. I decided to get a Egnater Tweaker head. I found one at GC Used online, and I should see it Friday (I hope).
I kind of hope X is around, as I was swapping tubes around, and ended up putting a 12AT7 in place of a 12AX7 in the Fender SCXD2 head I have. I love the 12AT7 in there. It takes some of the abrasiveness out of the tone, and seems to add depth to the tone. I did not think of the SCXD2 as being abrasive, but I much prefer the 12AT7 in it. Go figure.
