                        <content:encoded><![CDATA[My favorite Dummy load was custom built by Rivera Research and Development, Other ones include a Palmer PDI-03 and a Rocktron Juice Extractor. These are the three I use mostly.  I have few other ones custom built ones that seem to infringe on the tone and don't see much playing time other than experimenting. Attenuators I have many different one's. The only one I wasn't happy with was the power brake. <br><br>Joe]]></content:encoded>

                        <content:encoded><![CDATA[Everyone will have their own opinion when it comes to equipment. I've been using all tube amps, Equalizers and attenuators for at least 30 years or more. how they are utilized and setup will make a difference on how they sound. I'm currently using five tube amps, one dummy load, 6 attenuators, numerous rack mounted equalizers (both digital and analog). There is not tone lose here, but I do have my equipment connected or set differently than most guitarist would. It's set to give the audience what they came for. Depending on the venue I'll break out one or two of my old Gibson Falcons 12 watts or other choice of tube amp along with a equalizer and attenuator and rock the night away, My playing speaks for its for its self. Unless you saw the equalizers an attenuators hide behind the other equipments, you wouldn;t even know they were there.<br><br>This is from a guitar player that has been playing around the world many times and major credit songs and riffs to his credits. I started out just like everyone as a straving  musician with no cash flow. My goal was set and mind conditioned to keep a positive mential attitude, which left me with a positive onpn mind. Search around you'll find equipment that just plays an sounds like you.<br><br>Joe]]></content:encoded>

                        <content:encoded><![CDATA[You find that many of us professional guitarist use all tube amps. Currently I use five of them. They have their own tone which are combined together for my total sound. I have a Galaxie 10, thing is I did modifications to it so for me to upload Mp3's would not be fair test. Depending on the money you want to send will be a deciding factor on which amp to get.<br><br>I could recommend all tube amps all day long. It comes down to what you want.   Cornford, Epiphone, Fender, Gibson, Mesa Boogie, Marshall,  Peavey to name a few all make small watt tube amps that will work for all venues, also they sound different and are more than capable of playing all styles of music. This is not including going rack mount with a tube pre-amp and tube power amp.<br><br>There are many things that make up a signal chain and how they are connected or combined in which to achieve great tone. If you looking to get that sought after cranked guitar tone at any volume you need to think of more than just an amp, you'll need an all tube amp, equalizer, and an attenuator or dummy load.<br><br>Joe]]></content:encoded>
