RIP Steve Albini. Unlikely to be another one like him anytime soon.
A little piece of my Gen X heart just broke

This is pretty much my all time favorite:

I don’t think anyone has ever had a better ear for rock music. The number of truly great albums Steve Albini was a part of will never be equaled.

 

[ferball]

Yep. He was an absolute genius and he loved music (but not necessarily the industry.)

It's only 60 Watts with 12AX7s in the front end and 6L6 drivers. It should be fine for playing a few metal riffs late at night to calm down after a busy day I think.

What could possibly go wrong?

I have lost the hearing in my right ear already. That was within 30 seconds of plugging a guitar into it.

My first amp when I was about 18 was a 35 watt Peavey backstage plus (great little solid state combo). At 19 I traded up to a 100 watt JCM800 stack - that thing was a beast, I could shake things off shelves with it. I wish I still had it - they’re worth a fortune now and that tone and power was just outstanding. It’s also one of the main reasons I’m such a shitty guitarist - I just found cathartic release through the power on tap and didn’t focus on practice or technique.

Next was a Fender Super 60 - 60 watt valve combo - it was as loud as stink too.

Got rid of everything and decided last year after 20+ years of not playing to take up guitar again. I bought a sweet Telecaster and a Boss Katana 100 Mk2 - can dial back the wattage to 50 or 0.5 watts which is still pretty loud and can create all manner of guitar tones.
