Kick the Blue Drum - Live at The Comet, Northside, Cincinnati OH
มุมมอง 118ปีที่แล้ว
Kick the Blue Drum performing their tune Kentango at The Comet in Northside on April 28, 2023. Bill Littleford - guitar, vocals, Chris Novy - drums, Josh Moore - bass. I played thru 2 amps at the same time; a 1954 Gibson GA20 and a 1960 Ampeg Rocket. Hard to hear the vocals but that's my fault for playing thru too many amps.

1960 Ampeg Rocket amp - Live Rock example

Pedal chain is MXR phase 90, Fulltone GT-500, mini Flashback delay. Jam is based on Cissy Strut by the Meters. Recorded live on 1/26/23 in Hamilton, OH. Bill Littleford - guitar, Noah Cope - bass, Kevin Coggeshall - drums.

I've been using this amp a lot more lately. It has a nice 'with a little dirt' sound. As you can see, it's pretty rusty. Maybe that helps? But it all still works. It can get that 'snarl' if that's a sound you like. Bill Littleford - all instruments.

It seems to be in ok shape but one wonders why I would bother to use it with today's advanced technology. Everything is twice as much work. You have to run lots of cables. There's dropouts (the bass guitar kinda disappears half way through) and the monitor mix is pre...

    I was wondering if your GA19rvt still has the sprague circuit that came stock in many of these. I have a 63. Either the prior owner had spraque circuit removed , or it didnt come with one.. Mine sounds very nice with a Weber 12a125-a. What nice reverb, trem, and general tone.

    • @bltfan1976
      @bltfan1976 ปีที่แล้ว

      It's been awhile since I opened it up but I remember the circuit looked like the tweed falcon. Nothing has been changed in it since it was made. Everything in it had 1962 date codes so I believe it was either late 1962 or early 1963. But who knows with Gibson amps, I'm not sure when they started using that sprague circuit but this one doesn't have it.
