Doug,
Thanks for the kind words and yes, we had a blast. The Zoo was really good
to us (and the other bands that played this summer, I imagine as well: The
MiGs, Longboard Ranch, The Closet Surfers)
Regarding the strange rig Rob was using, he was trying out that tiny Crate
head people have been talking about. 150 watts of power in something the
size of a loaf of bread. Sounded great. Funny when the effects (reverb tank)
are physically bigger in size than the power amp!
Cheers,
Ted
