Don Quixote…. only without the hyperbole and windmills… and a lot more cheap wine

So I spent part of the 4th blowing up GI Joes with my brother (which is just as fun as it was when I was 8), and part of it playing with my new Crate V8 amp. It’s my first tube amp, and it sounds like sex compared to my craptastic solid state practice amp (also a Crate). With my Ibanez Delay/Echo pedal, I can get some really organic/analog spacey sounds that I’m enjoying. It’s also nice that a sub-$200 amp is also made in the USA (by Ampeg for Crate), and contains a somewhat decent sounding Celestion speaker. I know there are better sounding tube amps out there, but this one is mine, and I didn’t have to skip meals to afford it.
