Falling In And Out Of Love

[MrBump]

Do you guys find that you can fall in and out of love with a piece of gear?

I'm finding that at the moment with the Blackstar HT Dual.  One minute I love the tone, the next I get frustrated with its limitations.

Same with my Orange, actually...

... Maybe it's just me?

I'm just like that... with styles of music too, etc...

Yeah it happens a lot to me as well, recently I havent been liking my Laney much but other times I will $%&#ing love it :?

You can't go wrong with an Egnater! Next module....

The ONLY amp/distortion source I've ever played and been happy with every time is my powerball with an EQ20 in the effects loop. Not even the PB on its own.

Everything else, save my legra, I can get on with or get pissed off with.

I know how you feel.

(And I'm even still looking for better than the PB :lol: )

is this not as much to do with the way ears work as anything else, if you hear something a lot your ears start to block out the more harmfull elements of it... take a break and then come back and see how you feel

Another thing is if my playing is worse than normal, I get annoyed with my tone and therefore with my gear. On days when the notes are flowing more smoothly I have a lot less trouble with tone.

Another solution.....Go the twinfan, Phill's route...have various guitars and amps

[sgmypod]

All joking aside..love my HT-dual..for cranked stuff...to doom with one of my amps...and for more subtle my J&H through my Martamp

Another solution.....Go the twinfan, Phill's route...have various guitars and amps

i think its the perfect solution, playing something else for a bit always helps

Now I'm working on getting a different cab and an amp or two...

[sgmypod]
