I went once, had a blast...no real desire to go again.
I hope those there this year have a blast as well....sure they will, with or without our approval
I've had an SVP-Pro and now own an V4B, and think it's something about how well the EQ suits the sound I like, and how the driven valves add a bit of extra...extra to the overall picture.
Oddly, I never got on with the SansAmp I had.
It looks to me like there's no tension in the strings- the E strings looks curved and possibly stuck to one of the pole pieces.
Might just be my eyes though. !
