My name is Gene, I'm now 65 and have been playing blues inspired rock/R&B through "cranked" tube amps since the age of 14! Please don't misinterpret my user name "The Ballzz" as it is not referring to body parts. It is instead a nickname I acquired in my mid teens. Whenever I would show up at a jam, etc, folks would often say "the balls is finally here" referring to my standard tone and playing style of at the time a Les Paul or SG plugged straight into wide variety of tube amps cranked to their maximum, with no pedal/stomp/foot thingies involved! In recent reality, Ive found the need to pare down to low wattage amps to avoid being asked to either turn down or leave! :laugh: I'm still on the quest for that "Holy Grail" of an amplifier that fits me perfectly. :worthy1: I'm also full of stupid questions, as I'm a guitarist/singer first, being a loving, GOD fearing husband is a very close second (if you ask my wife she'll claim that the husband part isn't as close of a second as I claim :icon_biggrin:) and electronics bench tinkerer/hobbiest somewhere around third or fourth. I do also love playing with Hot Rods, classic vehicles and driving car that are way too fast to be practical! :l2:
