i havent seen Milk, but didn't think it was a depressing film...now i will have to watch it. nothing gets me like a good depressing film, but i do always feel the need to watch some stand up comedy afterwards...just to balance things off. I think a good depressing movie is probably one of the hardest films to make, the story, script the acting; everything has to be so good to draw you in and get you emotionally hooked so you feel the way you do by the end of the film...
Or you can do what many directors and writers do: give a small child Aids, remove his/her legs and arms, give the mother a cheating husband, and play lots of sad piano orchestra. Instant gratification.

The Pink Floyd film?

A pre-phase inverter master volume allows preamp distortion at lower volumes; a post-phase inverter master volume allows for phase inverter distortion at low volumes. I think the problem with Darren's Dunwich was that when he boosted the front-end with a pedal it became too loud in the band mix.

It has Philips 7027s in it so I am not sure if they are the originals tubes the amp came with. I am guessing not, since most of the preamp tubes have been replaced with JJs. Who knows though. I might have it converted for 6550s anyway.
Also, the reverb does not work at all. I doubt I would use it anyway. Hopefully I can use it as a bargaining tool to get some money back (doubtful). Either way I am excited about this amp! Now I just need more cabs and a ABY pedal so I can run a dual amp rig.
Nice. Shame about the reverb though. Get some moolah off that bitch.

I picked up Tony's current Sunn concert bass for < $200
Jammed with new drummer again tonight. He'd learned a few of the songs from recordings I gave him and picked up a couple more over the course of the evening. Left his gear at my place which says to me....
I OWN YOU NOW!!! YOU PLAY DRUMS AND LIKE IT!!!!!
MWOOOhahahahahahahahahahaha.
I think we'll be gig ready in a couple weeks but I'm gonna call it a month to be on the safe side.
Dudes good. makes me feel like I need to step up my game.
We found another peavey classic 400 at guitar center. I think the DOOM gods are speaking to us. I got to play through it and it does sound really fucking good. Might try to work up some trade stuff.
Glad you've found someone that you like. The music I used to play took ages to learn and tighten up. It was such a ball-ache. I really regret not doing something simpler. Ahh well.

Plus I live in a town where every venue's sound dude busts out the decibel voodoo detector, (we have retarded licensing laws in this state) so you don't often have the option to go to 11.
If you put the volume pedal before the preamp you'll only cut down on gain, it might work in the loop though...I've never tried that actually.
Having said that, if I had money I'd totally jump on that wizard.
Now if only I could get my wife to say that about me...
Agreed. A volume pedal in the loop of an amp works kind of like a traditional master volume, but not quite the same. Also, that last line made me chuckle.

Most depressing movie? Grave of the fireflies and requiem, sure. But have you seen "the road"? Such bleakness.
Also, Melancholia.

but now I'm thinking, i wont buy a guitar with that money, and instead ill put a P90 in my other LP and save the rest of the money and once my band starts gigging, ill sell my amp and add the cash together to get a Laney GH100 and a 4x12 cab or maybe even a 2x15 cab...
Sounds like a plan.
Thankfully it's local and he's knocking off shipping so I can pick it up, its right by my band practice spot. Not to mention it was a fair price to begin with. 
Kinda excited.
