I didn’t make it to 0’20.
Tend to agree on n Nels in Wilco. Actually my favourite guitar playing on a Wilco album is Jeff Tweedy doing it himself on AGIB.
I just like the Nels in his own merit! He’s avuncular, funny, a killer player and noisemaker and has no hint of gear snobbery about him. He’s a dude!
-
I don't really know anything about him, I really enjoyed his Rig Rundown whenever that was... Did he play on YHF? I could walk over to my records and check, but ICBF... That's the last Wilco record I own...
PS the guitars on the first three Wilco LPs are spectacular, love them... Very trad/power pop but that's my fave bag...
Apart from anti-music fuzz terrorism, that's my top fave...
-
He does loads of freak jazz noise stuff. Joined Wilco for the AGIB tour I think and the record he played on was Sky Blue Sky. Impossible Japan is the tune that people seem to take his noodles to heart on.

And that Russell Howard off Mock the Week on rhythm guitar

Give it a try (cardigan wearing, cat owner with eight strings in band context)

Micro Cube in local secondhand shop for £70. Living room amp?
-
Don't want tubes really. I have tubes. I want child-proof, cheap, a few effects and and voices at very low volume.
-
If you're talking super low volumes would you not be as well with some sort of headphone scenario?
-
I thought you had a yamaha on order? It's a great amp
-
Finger was hovering over buy on the THR-10 a couple of weeks ago... Bought a new TS-9 instead.
Headphones just not the same is it? Can plug into Logic if I want headphones. I want something for late night noodling in front of the fire or TV. Was gonna get the Yamaha but a Micro Cube just popped up in a local shop.
-
The only time I tried a a Micro Cube was when I bought my electric off some guy on Shpock. It was a Micro 30. It sounded lovely (mostly played it clean) but I remember thinking it was loud for his living room.
-
@No_Sense_Needed, Nah - I had a moment and binned the order to get a new OD pedal and some other bits instead. Still have need of a little amp tho. I reckon I should just buy it as a b'day pressie to myself.
-
Happy Birthday, Do it! I think a Micro Cube is a safe bet for price/size/quality.

1 watt valve combo with reverb?
-
Nah. Honestly, I'm not convinced by the teeny tiny valve amp thing. I have a OG Champ with a Weber speaker in it and it sounds great but even 5w with the volume on 4 is going to bother the neighbours. I need something that does passable clean and gain sounds at conversation levels and i'm not convinced that even 1w valve amps do that. To my ear these micro-tube things all sound boxy as all hell. Which can be a good sound in some applications, but that's all they do. Don't get me wrong, I'ma massive valve amp snob, but for this particular application, I'd rather have something that does a range of emulated sounds through a couple of tiny full range speakers... Think i'm going to go back to the Yamaha which seems to tick all those boxes.

😅 Each to their own eh! I think it's great to see someone doing something really different with the guitar as an instrument though! You should have a listen to his band, I think you might find it more palatable in context!
