Tonight I spent some time jamming with my son. What can possibly be better for a father.

My son can mess with guitars and bass but he has been on the drums since the age of 6. He's now in university. So he's got some practice.

I said "let's start out with easy stuff. You lead with a beat, I'll come in with a 12 bar blues and we'll go from there." So things get off to a pretty good start.

We have a Pearl kit in the house. Nothing fancy, just a set of drums. I am playing an Epiphone LP Standard plugged into our Vox VT15. Good little amp.

But the kid on the drums keeps getting louder! Finally, I can barely hear myself. My wife has long left the downstairs and retreats to quiter confines. And we are only doing a 12 bar blues.

So I says to my son: "son, how about a little AC/DC?"

He says "sure". Drummers are always over confident!

I hook into this little Vox running into 1970 something Peavey bass cabs at 8 ohms. Giving me a now very prodigious 25 watts of capacity and more importantly cabs built to handle the power from the 200 watt head! It's so clean it hurts!

Ahhhhhh....this little stinker ROCKS!

The only distortion comes from the gain cranked, volume at 2 o'clock. On the guitar volume and tone on 10. Crazy!


This year the diet is definitely gonna stick!

Jonathan Koh did a review on three of the models pumped through a BC112 cab recently. IDK if you've seen it?

I did. They really are great sounding amps. Nothing more than gain, tone, volume.
