oh the horror
Forum rules
At the old Disney Hyperion Studio, the screening room where animators would show animated scenes to Walt for his approval was small, with no ventilation or AC. Not only was it hot, but the animators were nervously awaiting Walt's reaction to their work. Thus, the room became known as the Sweatbox. Even after the Studio moved to Burbank and elegant screening rooms were offered to the staff, the moniker remained.
Now SGT has a sweatbox of our own. This is the place to find and post all entertaining topics such as video links, jokes, games, and the like. A general rule of thumb is that if the thread is meant to be informative (interesting news stories for example), or a topic for discussion (like setting up a park meet) then it should go in the Break Room, but if the intent is to entertain the masses then it's home is The Sweatbox. I'm sure there will be grey areas at times, so if you have doubt as to where a new thread should go, just use your best judgement and the SGT Staff will be glad to move it later if you guessed wrong.

Don't be fooled by appearances. In Hawaii, some of the most powerful people look like bums and stuntmen.

Re: oh the horror
I don't really know anything about guitars, but back in my day, Fender amps weren't very desirable. Signal to noise sucked. They got volume by putting the chips in series, so the noise was amplified along with the signal. Cheap and loud, but not great sound. Have they changed?Main Streeter wrote:LOL LOL LOL, yet spot on hobie!! Sans the purple, please.

Actually, I used to love the "warmth" of the tube-based amps. Does anybody still use tubes in amps?hobie16 wrote:Chips?!?! 6L6s rule!!

Re: oh the horror
I found that getting consistent performance from 6L6GCs (not 6L6s, those are different) was occasionally problematic. I swapped mine out for 5881s.hobie16 wrote:Chips?!?! 6L6s rule!!
