    At the very least.

    I don't know how you do it sometimes, pc. I'm just glad that you do.

    Man, I wish I had written that!

    Thanks for everything you do, pc. And belated thanks to hudpucker too. I'm glad you guys and countless others do this stuff so that I don't have to (I'm not sure I even could).

    pc,

    To do what you do and keep your sanity and play as well as you do is truly inspirational.

    Re: things I've learned about amps

    Thanks everyone. I appreciate all of those comments. It wasn't what I'd planned on for my life (you know, rock star seemed cooler), but now I can't imagine doing anything different. I'm constantly inspired by my coworkers in all the various offices that come into play in the Juvi court system, because unlike me, they don't get to go thrash away on a guitar on the weekends to blow off steam, so I often wonder how they do it.

    I'm flat-out blessed. Great wife, two wonderful little boys, my musical life, and of course, you all at TFF. Makes all the rest seem just fine.

    I've learned this:
    If it works for you, don't worry about everyone else telling you why it wouldn't work for anyone else. Yielding to snob appeal has caused me to give up on many good effects, amps, and guitars over the years.
