The blog of the Ancient Mariner: There's some more recordings

Monday 8 May 2006

There's some more recordings

on my soundclick site. I never thought this little amp - 5 watts - could be a total metal monster, but it is.

Have a listen to "I believe in a thing called crunch"

It's not a tune, but rather a demo of the amp with different pick and volume settings (as are pretty much all the other clips there). At the end I'm getting high-gain feedback. From a 5 watt amp in my livingroom!

Nuts.

It does get rather mushy maxed out, but this was never intended to be a super-high gain design, and in order to keep the richness at lower volumes I may have to live with that. What IS amazing is how it cleans up with the volume rolled off on the guitar - it still twangs even with super-hot humbuckers.

'Mazin.

Why post emergent?

Why not?

Some years ago I wrote about things relating to church I thought were important then and probably still do to an extent. So many of us want to make sure stuff is right, trying to differentiate ourselves, yet also often miss the more important stuff, the bigger picture.

I watch various people doing church in different ways and wonder how much God is concerned about our 'important' bits of theology or stances we take. The church stream I was once so pleased to be part of is starting to look like every other church to me, so maybe it's time I had a little humility instead of pride at being different.
