I won the first round of Guitar Center's "King of the Blues" contest in the New Orleans area last night.  Store finals are in two weeks.  I read about Pete Anderson in ToneQuest who wrote the 30 backing tracks for the contest.  I called GC and the contest was full.  They put me on the alternate list.  It wasn't full when I got there so I played first out of 7 other players and ended up winning.  I was the only one that used the Mesa Boogie Dual Rectifier Roadster half stack.  I took my vintage TS-808.  It sounded pretty good.  The other two amps were a 1965 blackface reissue Fender Twin and an Egnator Rebel 30.  The Twin was kind of lifeless.  The Egnator wasn't bad.  I played track #2, "Still in Love."  You can listen to all of the tracks online.  You can also download them for free if you want to use them for practice.  Afterwards, I got a hot tip on the Fulltone OCD and bought one with my winner's 10% discount.   It is worth the price just for the Fulltone made 3PDT True Bypass switching.  My amps came to life again when I removed the old TS-808 from the signal path.  I hope you can hear the difference.  You don't lose any bass.  It also runs on 18v if you have an adapter and it's supposed to sound even better.  I will post that video next week when I get the 18v adapter.
