New Member - Experienced player - Sound Engineer

[G-MAN-55]

I've been playing guitar over 45 years -- most of those for fun and extra cash flow
I started building my own guitars 25 years ago when the quality really started to drop off.
I was accepted at GIT in Hollywood years ago at age 18.
I later went through the music production and business program in Atlanta.
I have been fortunate enough to spend quality time with some great players and producers..
and some truly gifted sound engineers.
In the last ten years I have been designing and installing professional sound systems
in clubs here in the Midwest - trying to bring some consistent cultural influence to the area.
I also build custom and reproduction tube amps and stomp effects.
Most recently I have been working as an individual sound consultant for players entering the pro
level trying to get that elusive sound in their head to actualize onto the stage.
I hope to openly exchange information here and elevate my knowledge and that of others
as well.

We old farts like Analog

[GuitarBilly]

Analog is still better but digital is getting close, especially in the studio. I use both, depending on the situation.

Sup G! Welcome from another old fart.

Been playing 45 years also.

...and howdy to Casey4s!!

Welcome dude!

I prefer analog cause that's how I roll. But I have a relatively cheap Yamaha THR5, that not only is an excellent practice amp, its just an excellent amp in general. The THR10 is even better. Digital has gotten pretty amazing.
