1950's Kent amp.

This amp right here is an old vintage 1950s Kent made in japanusa (meaning it was made in usa with Japan parts) and it's awesome. When I first got it, it wasn't really working properly until one day it fell and basically like a bone breaks back into place, that is how this amp work really well. The speaker is original and so is the plug and does not have a ground. It's tube, old tunes that probably don't exist anymore and it get a nice sound.

I use this amp for practice and it's sounds really good. I love this amp and will not part with it . It sounds really great with fuzz. 

Also it made me like tones knobs better than Eq knobs like bass and treble. I am going to switch to amps that either have prefixed tone or tone knobs.

New Modulation pedals (DOD 401B Phasor and BOSS BF-2 Flanger)

I got these new modulation pedals in the mail today (March 13th). I really like the BF-2 because it reminds of the EHX Electric Mistress (Original, the one the Hartman Flanger is based on) but I don't like using the EHX because 1. 18 volts, 2. Even know my EM is beat to shit on the outside, its still worth some money regardless of the looks. I scored on the BF-2 because they usually go for between $99-$125 used for a old black label made in japan and my is a black label made in japan model and score it for $55 shipped.

Onto the DOD Phasor. This was dubbed as the best Phase 45 you heard and its true. Its has the warm vibe you get from the MXR 45 (Mines an original script bud box '75) but in 4 stages rather than 2 stages from a MXR 45. Sounds great. Better than a old 80's phase 90 because 80's phase 90 have sometimes an unwanted distortion signal.
