Anyone go to see Arc Angels last night?

Pretty good show at the Bush Hall, Shepherds Bush.  It's a very long time since I've been so close to the stage in a small venue.

Lots of nice gear on display - I think Charlie Sexton changed guitar at the end of every song, and he used no less than seven different ones in total.  Doyle Bramhall II settled for a relatively modest four.

And they were using these amps.  Anyone tried them?

ya know,


they seem like good amps but did they really have to pull the "vintage" card on the very first line of their product advertisement.

"Do you remember the very first time you plugged into one of those great VINTAGE tube amps?"

gads people show some originality already!

Doyle Bramhall II settled for a relatively modest four.

Only heard him with Clapton. He soudns pretty damn good IMO. What was he like and did he use the Trussart telecaster?

[Philly Q]

He was good, but what a miserable looking bugger.  I think he only smiled twice!  Charlie Sexton seemed a lot more enthusiastic.  The sound wasn't too great so I couldn't hear a lot of Sexton's playing, unfortunately.

Here's the guitar listing:

Bramhall
Single cutaway LP Junior (right-handed, played LH of course)
Double cutaway LP Junior (LH)
Fender early '60s style Strat (LH)
Fender Custom Shop red sparkle Strat, with matching headstock (LH)

Sexton
Some kind of (Greco?) Zemaitis, black with diamond body inlay
Trussart Steeltop (wood body, and shiny, not rusty)
Fender early '60s style Strat
White maple-neck Strat with lipstick tube pickups (and capo!)
Epiphone Casino
Gibson SG (very unusual colour, almost like a Fender blonde)
A Rickenbacker (I'm not very good at identifying Ricks - one of the big ones!  Probably a 12 string)

The 65amps Soho sounds great, check out the demo on YouTube... if i had a spare ~£2k, i'd get one, no questions... but i don't, so i'll carry on as is :P

If you look at my thread about the NY Amp show again, you will see the VERY favourable mention I gave the 65 Amps London.
