Notes
there was a time in American history when men rode Harley’s and played loud rude country music…and soulful rhythm and blues music…and rowdy rockin’ blues music for scantily clad nasty ho's that were built like brick shit houses in smoky sweaty bars across this great land….
and this was the amp that they used…
and when the gig was over they pushed the driver seat of their 2 door 1975 Pontiac Grand Prix forward and threw the thing in the back seat while it was still hot …and then they went back inside and bought an eight ball off the bartender so they could stay up all night banging some stripper in their mobile home…
and this was the amp that they used….
and they didn’t have to “go direct” or put “baffles” in front of the amp…and they didn’t have “expression pedals” for their “modeling device”…and if they DID have a pedal , it said “MXR” on it in big block letters …and it ran on a 9 volt …and it sounded fuckin great …
and this is the amp that they used…
