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.
