I agree with what ends said, just work on it, you might as well be amazed with how your hands can stretch :lol:

However, if you feel that you can't progress further because of this problem you have, like, really burnt out, I think you should try a shortscale guitar with skinny neck.

Does the Bugera get a good tube overdrive going on with the .1watt mode? you should try it in a shop. i didn't like it at all, however i didn't like 1 and 5 watt modes either - it just gets all farty. i have a vox night train with 12" blackheart cab, i use it in my apartment and i love it. but...

I'm not sure where you're getting confused here, but that's entirely not true.
looked at rob's transcription once more, and you are right. somehow i saw that as Em7, mostly because i use it often

your second chord is kind of E7, which sounds more like a minor chord without the third. the third chord you mentioned is in most cases an F (major). but, given that you use only two notes for each of these, depending on context they can be completely different chords, because just two notes can not...

you can turn it on into standby without speakers connected, surely. i'm not sure why you wouldn't be able to turn it on without a cab, but if the manual says so, it'd be the last thing i'd try. I would not turn it on without a cab, you should never run an amplifier without a load. it can kill the o...

hey guys, i'm going to pick this amp today, but the cab haven't arrived yet. is there a way to test an amp without a cab? if it even turns on? the user manual says "NEVER OPERATE THIS AMPLIFIER WITHOUT SPEAKER CONNECTED". which isn't a surprise, but i wonder if i can turn it on in standby ...

great demo, thanks! some nice sounding distortions, and sub-octave fuzz is pretty good too. but hell, the Fuzz Pi barely sounds like the real thing. it actually sounds a lot like the rat model.
but still, very nice piece of gear.
