<P>Hey, Mark...You've lived here a while. Have you ever heard good sound there (The Metro)? I wasn't impressed at the SubHumans show we went to. Couldn't tell if it was the acoustics or the sound guy. Definately not my favorite venue but, hey...not my descision. </P>
<P>Did we ever figure out where we're meeting tomorrow? And what time? And who all's going to be there?</P>
<P>E-mail me off list with your number (again...I'd lose my head if it wasn't glued on). I shall call this evening if you're not busy.</P>

<DIV></DIV>>Do you mean the power amp clipping into distortion, or neither pre or
<DIV></DIV>>power clipping?
<DIV></DIV>>
<DIV></DIV>>Also I didn't write all of what I meant to say regarding the modern,
<DIV></DIV>>digital delay or delay modelling vs. analog delay (such as EHX Memory Man)
<DIV></DIV>>or old digital grit. I don't know that one is necessarily *better* than
<DIV></DIV>>the other, but different for sure. In '84 Geordie was supposedly using a
<DIV></DIV>>Memory Man into another delay (which may have been digital...probably
<DIV></DIV>>8-bit if so) and then into the Burmans. Modern delay or a modelling unit,
<DIV></DIV>>or just directly into an overdriven lo-fi Marshall would certainly sound a
<DIV></DIV>>lot different.
