The EarCandy is doing great. I have a decent solid state amp paired with it right now, but I am planning on swapping it for something that will better match the cab. A buddy of mine just ordered a Vader 2x12, so I will get to test the two side by side. I am looking forward to that.

Yeah, Spinks! He's a great dude. The last time we were in Lawrence was Summer of 2007, on tour with Battlefields. That was our last major US tour, everything in the past two years has been either local or overseas. Dylan from Samothrace actually played bass on a couple of Battlefields' later tours too, and we've done some shows in Philly for Samothrace since 07.
