Re: Swollen Pickle [was: My Y2KX recording]

I will chime in here, kind of funny because I was just in a Facebook 
thread 
about the Swollen Pickle. I got one the day before I played, tested it in 
the motel and then used it for my set at Y2KX. I was very happy with the 
result. This thing is very powerful. I think I had all the knobs on 10 and 
the volume knob on 1. Very dark, powerful and still allows definition even 
maxed out. As Steuart Liepeg just pointed out, mine is a reissue though 
and 
perhaps the older ones sounded different (better?) I will know more when I 
finally get my studio put back together after the trip :)

plus the attraction of the thread of jokes when you talk about it is worth 
a 
lot, hehe.

best,

j
