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

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

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

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!

Just don't bump it or anything! 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 !!

I must agree with Mark.

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...
