Finally I have a real guitar amp around the house, my bandmate dropped off one he doesn't use no mo' and is selling it to me cheap if I dig on it...a Line 6 AX2 w/ full pedal board...man, heavy as heck, but great sounding...other than the scratchy master volume knob...but I can replace that...good way to end the year, making loud racket in my basement...
Anyway, just wanted to share, I like this amp, it's an early model for Line 6, not nearly what the POD's and such are today, but seems to be a quite capable amp so far.

Jan 02, 2013 10:30 am Sounds like a ton of fun, man! Always fun to play around with new gear.
I have badly scratchy knobs on my fender 180w too. Every time I touch any volume knob, I get a !BLAST! that leaves windows sHaKiNg in their frames on the other side of town. Im terrified of it due to the random sonic booms, havent touched it in years, really. My new years resolution is to get it repaired this year. I dont really need it, I should probably sell it to get $ for a nice pair of studio monitor speakers. Thats more my speed these days... armchair audiophile as opposed to onstage onslaught.
Jan 02, 2013 07:02 pm Before I go replacing stuff I am going to try the contact cleaner trick, soak a couple of em and see if that helps...but I know what you mean TCB, the scratch is vastly louder than the actual sound the amp produces.

Jan 09, 2013 10:59 am I'm with ya coolo! I need something new (to me) right about now. My interest in sitting down and doing anything related to music is fading. Perhaps that would give me the kick in the *** I need

Here's a pic of my novation impulse in place since my old xboard developed a dead key.

Jan 10, 2013 02:44 pm I didn't think it was possible, but you might have more clutter around your workstation than me.

Jan 10, 2013 03:36 pm Well, here's a wider angle view to show the clutter, haha!
Desk space is in short supply where I'm sitting, hah!
