VHC 2008 Awards

Post by OldSchoolDave »

We didn't have any official recognitions at the 2008 Vintage Hiwatt Convention, but I think we should publicly acknowledge a few people:

VHC 2008 Award for most miles traveled over LAND: Mikhailwatt (from Washington State)

VHC 2008 Award for most miles traveled by AIR: buster (all the way from the New Malden UK Factory)

VHC 2008 Award for best host: Dr. Hiwatt - thanks again for your hospitality!

VHC 2008 Award for Fish out of Water: Drummer Keith - for putting up with all those guitar and bass players (especially, Mike B. :mrgreen: )

VHC 2008 Special Thanks: Mikhailwatt for the creation of our commemorative T-Shirts!

Feel free to add to the list...

Mikhailwatt, your setup sounded great too. I was engulfed with sound when I stood in front of it! Rush fans are always ok by me. Also, I never realized how good my jr sounded until Mark and Dave rocked out with it :shock:

Thanks, Phil - glad you enjoyed it. I'm all about the engulfication. :wink: :lol:

BTW - Fired up the ol' iWATT today. No problems - sounded great. None of those goofy vibration issues it was having at the Convention.

Go figure! :roll:

Just don't bump it or anything! :wink: I still think it's a funky solder connection somewhere.

I must agree with Mark. That's about the only thing that really ever went wrong with any of my amps, except a lone filter cap spew/failure. Pretty good track record.

Mikhailwatt, the amp sounded too good to be sick. Enjoy. Great work you did !! :wink:

Me too, I'm just glad it is temporarily exhibiting no problems... when I have time to give it a thorough inspection I will.

Hopefully it behaves this weekend... my son's band booked the entire day this Sunday at http://www.robertlangstudios.com/home.html . Just doing the drums and scratch guitar tracks, but still... :)
