Whoa.

currently eating: a peach

Whoa. The sound from that amp and speaker set is heavy. The amp runs with two channels. The first is labeled ‘orange’, the second ‘red.’ I’ve set it up so that Orange runs clean and Red runs distorted. The distortion has such a powerful powerful growl. I’ve never played anything so brutal before. It really is stunning.

The volume doesn’t impress me most. Sure, you can crank Zeus up to a very mighty loud, but it’s really the high quality rumble that makes Zeus worth it.

I have to play around more with the settings because there are a ton. You can change the sound from spongy to bold, you can add Presence, or change from silicon to vacuum tubes, and that’s all before I try and introduce the VOX tonelab into the mix.

yeah, the House of Rock just got a little more rock.

If you drop tune your guitar, can you induce involuntary vomiting to all those who have the misfortune of standing nearby?

This is why you need a van. The plan:
1. Install like a 200 amp alternator in the van
2. Add high power inverter
3. “Police are reporting multiple incidents of alleged high speed “rock so loud it blows women’s clothes off”-bys”
