The Vintage Sound Blog

Hey everybody,
I am heading up to the Nashville Amp Expo this weekend to check out some of the amp builders and guitar builders from around the south. If you are close to Nashville, be sure to check out this show, you wont be disappointed! I made it to last year’s show and it was insane! Nothing like going to a builders room, closing the door and cranking the amp to 11!

Can’t wait to see what all will be there this year. I will report back with pics and videos (if possible) from the show.

Cheers!

I picked up an EH English Muff’n a while back to play around with on guitar and bass. It wasnt a bad sounding pedal right out of the box. Tons of gain on tap but to me something was missing with all that gain. I couldnt get a ton that I was really happy, I am really picky about my tone and the sound that I am looking for (just ask my wife ). So I set the pedal aside and left it there hoping to come back with a fresh set of ears to try and get a tone that I was happy with.

Well, came back and started tinkering around looking at the circuit to see what all was going on. So after some thought, I dove in. Now I have a tube pedal that growls just like a JCM800 and reacts just like a true tube amp should. You can go from a nice light breakup to cranked up JCM800. It reacts wonderfully with adjusting the volume on your guitar. If want to push it further over the top, throw a boost in front of it (just like most people do on the real thing) and you have a nice fire breather. Best part is …. you dont have to crank your amp to the point of ears bleeding to get that JCM sound.

I am working on getting the clips and maybe a video put together to show you what all this thing can do. So stay tuned!

Just thought I would update everyone, I decided to change the deals site over to a more general updates type of site (hope that makes sense ). I figured why only offer deals when there is so much more that I can offer up?

So here is what I have coming down the line here at Vintage:

• Pedal Mods
• Custom pedals
• Conner Amplification
• Daily Deals
• Old Fender field guide relaunch

So stay tuned there’s plenty more exciting new to come!
