My latest performing rock band just cut an EP last week for release on iTunes. It was quick and dirty and I used amps that I have built and use weekly live in the clubs. Mostly it is an 18 watt Marshall variant through a 2x12 open back cab or a slightly modified Valve Jr through the same cab. No attenuator. No distortion pedals were used other than a $40 Bad Monkey overdrive. I did use a Vox wah and an Ibanez DE 7 delay. That's about it. Check it out! If you like there are previews available, but the whole EP is only $2.99 at the moment. If this is inappropriate, my apologies to the moderator:
