I'm assuming this is a recent addition to your signature? I have to assume because it makes me feel better about not being very observant lol.
It certainly is, so 10 points to you for observation! We'll have to start a thread somewhere on music kit, the whole reason I started my youtube channel was because I hate most music production forums - the attitude and superiority complex of many posters turns most threads into bitching and arguments.
Your rig sounds nice, I never had enough money to buy the amps I wanted so was stuck with a very low market H&K transistor model that just happened to punch way above it's weight (extra deep cab gave it a monster tone), plus a Korg AX1000g pedal which sounded brilliant for the money. One thing I was lucky with was guitars - I was in a band that started on the dizzy road to rock and roll success only to be smashed on the rocks of despair (for that, read: screwed by record company lawyers) but not before I'd enjoyed a few months of a Jackson sponsorship and received a very nice archtop DKMG with EMG pickups, that was in 2001 and I still use it now.
Dag, you can be an honorary member but should brush up on your metal drumming on youtube. The 80s and 90s were all about speed guitars in Metal, nowdays it's the drummers that are doing things that seem absolutely inhuman.
Ah, this is the life. Listening to heavy metal and reading about serial killers. A perfectly normal, healthy pastime.
