I love my computers, TiVo and digitally enhanced stuff but when it comes to music, I am becoming more and more decidedly analog. I want my gear to be free of USB connections. Don’t get me wrong, I think the editing capability of the Line6 POD is really cool but the sound leaves something to be desired. OK, my iPod can keep it’s USB connection but that is where I draw the line.
I have been playing an Orange Rockerverb. Sold off my high tech guitars for things like the Duesenberg and ESP Vintage Plus guitars. We even found a 1964 Hammond B3 to add to the stable. There is nothing like it on the planet. The stars align when you get a read drum set, a nice guitar with a tube amp, an old P-bass and a Hammond all rockin’ together.
So, for now, you will still find me online and I am still the old .tom but…..musicially, I am a Luddite.
