Oh, most certainly.
95% of people doing prog rock are making some of the worst music ever, but when it's done right it can be really great.
suppose the same is true for post-rock, but I would put the "lame" percentage at about 97%. Post-rock's "dryness" is as irritating to me as a lack of songwriting behind virtuosic soloing. Post-Rock can easily rival prog for lack of emotion.

I like how German prog is good and gets its own name so people don't confuse it with bad prog.

for a minute i thought it was a fender blues deluxe.

i tried the b deluxe in a store and it sounded cool as fuck. next (big) amp buy

CHOUT 12.06.2006 03:04 PM

it's loud

Danny Himself 12.06.2006 03:06 PM

I used to want an Orange Amp, as I tried one out and they have amazing tone. There's great deals on Ashton (peavey subsidiary) Amps in my local store though, so I don't know. Alls I know is my HiWatt 25 sucks big moose.

I've gotten away from using a ton of effects because to my ears you can definitly hear how they can and will suck the hell outta the true tone of any nice guitar especially in conjunction with a nice amp. unless you really make a sincere attempt to make sure every effect you use is true-by-pass a decision is made on whether you want to sacrifice tone for a nice effect...

not sure why i needed to say that, but anyways i use:

Guitar chain (guitar -> amp):
mxr phase 90 (w/ infamous capacitor mod)
ProCo Rat
EH Bigmuff (w/ a switchable capacitor mod of my creation to alternate from the original sound to the new increase volume/bass)
EH Deluxe Memory Man
Digitech PDS-1002

occassionally Mxr/Dunlop Hendrix Octave Fuzz (though i find it too annoying to make it worthwhile in my chain)

amp is an early 70's silverfaced Fender Twin Reverb Hotrodded where the Vibrato preamp tubes are bypassed to give more gain boost... it probably pushes 100W tube power and rivals alot of other larger powered amps, the only bad thing is that its way heavy and abit akward.

I often create/use other sounds in conjunction to playing guitar and i will use these effects:

Korg Kaoss Pad Version I (mostly for Ring Mod mode)
Boss Dr. Sample Version I (w/ stored samples and pitch, ring mod, reverse, delay effects)
mxr blue box (capacitor modded w/ switch to alternate from original sound to new, this used to be in my effects chain until i realized this mod totally altered w/ the sustain ability of my guitar tone in a negative way, it sucked all the sustain, probably there is something else inherently wrong w/ my copy).

My blue box sucked for sustain too.

it's not your copy, bluebox shears some freq and affects the sustain, especially if you made the cap.mod.
