If I had a place where I could open up a Deluxe Reverb and let it roar, I’d drive that far for one without hesitation.

Driving 45 minutes is like an eternity to me. Doing an hour and 30 minutes round trip just for an amp sounds like torture

Yeah, none of those are happening for me. I have a 5 year old that would have to drive with me. I'll just get him yelling that he's hungry and to turn the music down because his head hurts1h30m of you your tunes AND you get a new amp? Cmon

I feel this though too. Hard to do gear trips these days with a 10 month old daughterYeah, none of those are happening for me. I have a 5 year old that would have to drive with me. I'll just get him yelling that he's hungry and to turn the music down because his head hurts

Yeah, for real. I work from home, so technically I COULD do it almost any time of the day, except he only has half-day preschool and usually they want to meet later in the day and I gotta weigh whether it's worth being verbally abused for the amount of time or notI feel this though too.

This is why they invented canvas and duct tape

Any Revv D20 or D25 owners in here? Looking to buy one to take with me as my long-term traveling amp.

Wife works and doesn't get home until after I have to pick the kids up from school. I drop my youngest off at 12:15 and pick up at 3:15 so the window of no child is very limited. Usually have lots going on after school, so unless they're close or nearby somewhere we all want to go, it's usually a no-go. Sometimes I have time on Sundays, but at this time of the year, it's unlikely.
Basically as far East as it stretches. If it's past Tempe, I'm usually not down unless I really need it and it's an insane deal lol.
I would quit immediately LOL.I got a 6 hour drive next week for work, lol. 45 is nothing

I found a 6505 for $549.
I am seriously considering selling my EVH 5150 III EL34. I could likely pocket $300 to use on pickups and whatnot…

Nevermind… I’m listening to the demo of the new G50 and I think that clean with the wide switch engaged sounds way better than the D25 cleans.
I’m thinking G50 + 112 cab covers all the bases and likely means less pedals I need to bring.

I had ordered a Ken Lawrence explorer sometime around 2008, when I lived in Amherst, MA. When it was finished in maybe 2012 or so, I had graduated and moved on and was living with my parents. I pinged Ken here and there, and I knew the guitar was near completion and getting ready for ship. Then I received an email saying like, "it should be delivered!" and I'm like, via Fedex?? Because that truck already came? "The address is still ... Amherst, MA, right?" WHAAAAT!?
I had to race the 5 hours out to Amherst hoping the most expensive guitar ever wasn't stolen off the porch. When I got there, there was no box, but my previous neighbors said they saw a mysterious guitar box sitting there and when they walked up to it, it had my name on it, so they had put it in their porch
So grabbed it, turned around, got back home around 3-4am. And it was a KL and super amazing so I didn't even really dwell on how ridiculous the situation was.
