of course you played with the Zvex OOh Wah and Seek-Wah for this too
:) right? right ?  those things are awesome, when i have more
disposable income and less microphones and mic-pres to buy im getting
the whole zvex line.

yeah, i try to explain this to guitarists and get blank stares.
Nowadays having an amp above 30 watts is mostly a waste, unless you
have a big soundproofed iso-booth. even on stage i never could turn my
Pro Reverb (i think its about 30 watts) above 3 or 4 because of the PA
mic'in and  the tubes dont REALLY start to cook until 5 or more. 

I have an old Ampeg V-4 that i got modded with a Master switch so i
can actually crank the preamp tube volume to max and control the
output with the master, it sounds SO unbelievable. its a shame the
powersoak pedals kill tone because a solution like that without having
to mod every old Fender you get would be great.
