...so I pulled the chassis. Took the back panel off, checked the fuses. They're fine. Tubes appeared fine. Plugged it into my bandmate's Mills cab... all the channels work!

I replaced it in the combo cab. Upon further examination, there was a bent speaker terminal on the Blue. (Having both a Blue and a Greenback in said cab.) The internal wiring on the combo is very short; it must have been bent attempting to position the attenuator in back. It was touching the other terminal. The terminal was then re-bent to its proper position. I fired up the amp, it worked fine. I connected the attenuator, no issues. Methinks I shorted the thing out. I want a longer cable in there anyway so I can place the attenuator on top rather than behind the map anyway.

w00t! :dance:

This is glorious news, because it's not the OT. :cop: :poop: :D

It also means I can get to work on the Garda record.

My bassist has the Prophet 08 now! :dance:

I will be excited to hear this recording!
Will I be disappointed if I am expecting guitar harmonies and blast beats?

If by "guitar harmonies" you mean octave fuzz, pitchshifters, ring modulation and whammy pedals, and "blast beats" you mean 909 kicks glitching, then no. :red: This is full-on Snaxorawk. It's a different kind of heavy. We do have some stuff in drop D though?

The health of your boner is important to all of us.

That's exactly what I meant by guitar harmonies and blast beats.
How funny.

No, but seriously.
I want to hear some Goth Euroblasts.

Grindy goth blasting seconded. :D

I think it could be done without sounding wildly out of context.
It would have to be a slow, churning Euroblast.

Euroblast, question mark. ?

I was going to say: There are a lot of places in this building to get wonderful natural reverb. This excites me. Also, I can't wait to fuck around with that Prophet. :love:

...but you posted something before I could hit "Submit".

And then Geoff posted something.

I'mma think of ways to work a blast beat in there somehow for the hell of it.

Can I hear a Brian May type lead ,snaxy?

Post subject:  Re: The AC30 lives.
Euroblast is the xxBROSLAMxx way of saying the traditional grindcore blast that leads with a kick and cymbal... preferably heavily accented.



It is by far my favourite one. :huzzah:

Well, a full-band version of this might be on there, for starters: http://soundclick.com/share?songid=8338054

So yes, there's some nice melodic solos through a cranked AC30.

Re: Blasts- my drummer plays a four-piece with a single kick pedal. That sort of blast would be do-able if I could find a way to write it into something. As I'm sure I'm the only one in the band who would ever think of putting a blast beat in there. Double-time punk beats are not the same.

The Euroblast is menacing and evil.
