Bought a Marshall DSL made in Vietnam. I have Marshalls made in the UK. I really can't tell the difference other than the Vietnam made amp has screws instead of rivets on the protective corners and the vinyl covering is a bit different. Inside the amp the parts and circuit boards look the same. They very well could be the same. Just those components were assembled in Vietnam other than the UK and a line worker is cheaper Vietnam.

Been doing some reading on China's economy and they really do need to transition from being an export economy to paying their people more and selling to their own domestic base. The problem is the government is still authoritarian and Xi Jinping wanting to be dictator for life just shows the mindset of who runs the place. Most the factories for export in China are owned by foreigners. What the Chinese government runs and owns is military stuff and consumer stuff nobody wants to buy. It's a weird mix of communism and capitalism but the old communist guard doesn't want to give up their old ways. You are going to see other countries start to replace China as the world's producer because China is going to have serious internal problems. We are going to see lots of civil unrest in China in the future.No! You can't have the keys to the wine cellar!Comment

I have a friend who picked up a Jet City HDM 100 amp for $500. We hooked it up through my EVH cab and man that thing sounded great. I always liked the Soldano SLO 100 but they are expensive and the Jet City is a Chinese made amp designed by Mike Soldano. It sounded like a Soldano but gave you the option to go half power if you want. One channel is classic rock crunch and the other is high gain. I liked it. If you can score one cheap it's a good alternative to a 5150. In some ways I liked the Jet City better.No! You can't have the keys to the wine cellar!Comment

I would buy a chinese made guitar. I just don't buy anything Chinese that goes in my body or is supposed to keep me safe.
I've heard good things about the Jet City amps too.
My biggest worry regarding the Chi-Coms is their 3000 year old manifesto to eventually rule the world. They are running a marathon, not a sprint. They certainly want to dominate Asia / Asia Pacific.sigpic" You ever notice when I scream I sound like Mr. Bill on acid" DLRComment

Peavey 6505MH is pretty loud, and with the USB out it'll hook right up to your DAW.Writing In All Proper Case Takes Extra Time, Is Confusing To Read, And Is Completely Pointless.Comment

Oh the Chinese have always felt the world revolved around them. We were told we were going to sell a billion Chinese our goods but what happened is the billion Chinese became slave labor to make goods for us while the Chinese stole our intellectual property. For whatever reason the Chinese were let into our government labs and given our technology. The consumers loved the cheap goods while the corporate heads loved the increased profits. Also we were told China had a history of being a non aggressor. Really? So what's all this buildup in the South China Sea? Looks pretty aggressive to me. Tell someone who fought in Korea the Chinese were not aggressive. Now Xi wants to be emperor for life of the place. That being said China is very corrupt and very polluted. They have a major water problem. Their one child policy is going to be a social disaster because they are going to have more horny men than available women. I can see them marching on someone to get some pussy. China has created the largest real estate bubble in world history to the point they have literally built whole cities with nobody living there. They don't build a bridge to nowhere they build a whole city for nobody. China probably will self-destruct. Of course when their real estate bubble pops it's probably going to crash the worldwide stock markets and cause a real depression. The bright side of this is a lot of rich fuckers will lose their fortunes and a lot of debt will deleverage. If we all manage not to kill each other, housing and tuition will become affordable again. Getting a loan will be tough. Kiss easy credit goodbye.No! You can't have the keys to the wine cellar!Comment

Jack White playing a Wolfgang on SNL. Also has 2 or 3 in his music video for this song. Uses a St. Vincent signature guitar on second SNL song.

So got this amp yesterday. Boss Katana 100. Really cranks! Lots of features that I haven't had a chance to explore. Can download and tweak 50 Boss pedals with software. $350.00 plus great reviews. What's not to like!?
The 50W version is only $220.00. A steal.

That Jack White video is fucking terrible. His guitar tone is so bad it sounds like there is something wrong with his equipment. The song is shit and the playing terrible.
EVH should consider paying him not to use his stuff.Comment
