Billy Sheehan once suggested that your instrument should hang the way you practice, and let there be no change when you go live. Makes sense, but that would be too high for me. My strap gently touches my back when I sit down and practice, just enough to support a little. But I've always thought about that approach. FWIW

My experience with trying to develop a dB level to room air volume ratio has lead me to a "rule of thumb" that states...Well, inconclusively, an 80dB output in an 11ftx10ft room with an 8ft ceiling is hopelessly small (and just too quiet) to allow any decent guitar amp to breath. And yet I allow myself to be stuck here most of the day. My problem is less to find an amp to "fit" the room than a room large enough to support adequate sound volume. I assume the designers of an amp have adjusted so that "best" tone should not become limited beyond minimum room size. The manufacturers really should provide their recommendations as surely they've tested for them. I'd probably need be satisfied with dB levels in the low 90s tp protect my ears.

Mick, since you demonstrated the Albert King thing, I've been meaning to ask you about something you do - it's a lick I've only ever heard you use when a blues goes to the IV chord. Say we're in G; when the chord moves to C, you play this thing where you do a half-step slide into the major 3rd of the IV chord, so Eb to E, and then there's this fast tumbling downward arpeggio that I think ends on the same note but an octave lower, so E, then usually you snap back to the root of the key right above that, so G. Buh-DUH, biddly-dee DAP. Starts with the slide on the last upbeat of the previous bar, so it lands with that first E directly on 1, and then the last note is on the upbeat of 2, like "uh-ONE, diddly-two-AND." I think you might be sweeping the whole downward part with one stroke across several strings?

I love my Supro Delta King 12 with an ODR1 and a voodoo lab sparkle drive. However, I don't use high gain sounds. The gain is set at noon on the odr1 and the gain at about 10 or 11 o clock on the sparkle drive that has some clean mix dialed into it. You might be able to use something similar with the ac 15 and the Princeton

Thanks for a great episode with the cranked amps. After watching it I would really like an episode focused on your kind high gain tones. I know your somewhat against a high gain episode but both of you always seem to really enjoy it you venture into high gain territory. I dont mean metal tones but instead your kind of high gain tones, and in some ways Jimmy is more high gain than most metal bands anyway. I all cases have a great summer. From sweden with love!

Guitars and live mixes... I'm mostly a tele guy and tele punch and quick attack dynamics always get me heard even though my Nocaster reissue and Ellis pickup set-up is far from thin. My other live guitar is a Gretsch Jet. The Jet has a lot more low mids and less attack transient being chambered. I find that guitar suits songs with less going on mix wise, and also tends to worker better in songs with slower tempos. In those situations it sort of allows me to play less will extra natural sustain, the romance of a Bigsby and feedback on demand. :-)

Based on cable lengths not beyond 18ft, I'd need to be about 15ft from the amp. The amp should probably be between 1.5 to 3ft from a wall. All that adds up to a minimum room size of 20FT (plus) square (& hopefully with at least a 12ft ceiling. That is then, a "living room"(or game room) and not a "bedroom".

Hey Mick, talking of boosts into cooking amps - have you ever heard or tried a PastFX BLD? It's a cleaned-up, bulletproofed version of the old TC Booster Line Driver, much loved by Allan Holdsworth, and it's flat-out astonishing. Other than a Rangemaster with a Vox, I have never, ever heard a pedal that can push an amp into heavy overdrive while totally retaining the amp's character like the BLD can. It truly sounds like adding preamp tubes, kind of the same way that Dumble ODSes aren't really channel-switching amps, they're one big channel with different sections you can switch in and out. I'm usually much more into amps and guitars than pedals, but I've become an unashamed PastFX fanboy. They take old, beloved, hard-to-find, expensive, fragile circuits, fix any obvious problems, usually add an obvious feature or two, put them in rugged standard-size enclosures, and sell them for less than a new Boss pedal. Truly sacred labor for the good of all mankind. I just got their versions of 2 Pete Cornish pedals I thought I'd never get to play! (They're Aussie as well, and if Dan has any connections to her, I'd love to see Verlie Kirkwood of PastFX on TPS sometime. It would be fascinating to learn how she takes something old, beloved, and very specific, then fixes what needs fixing without disfiguring the core sound at all. Not a common talent!)
