I was about to sell a strat that I never play because it's just never sounded right to me, took it out to the garage to give it a once over, and plugged it into the el cheapo R200 Ritmuller M-15 that lives on the workbench for a quick last strum on "clean". And it sounded amazing. I got carried away and ended up playing for around an hour, jamming away like I don't think I've ever done before, and what was the soon to be ex guitar is now my favourite.
Not sure if I am imagining things because subliminally I don't want to get rid of a guitar.
Not sure if I can replicate that "sweet spot" tone with another better amp.
Not sure if I'm going to have to start collecting amps now too.
