I want a Science Amplifier

[sergiomunoz74]

So the ball is rolling, science cab here I come

[Bellyheart]

Sweet nectar! Get that sweet sine wave logo on it.

Maybe but I want the science loo rather than the classic look. I don't want just another regular 2x12 after all haha. Gonna be playing the most aggressive dream pop this side of the midwest

[WORMDIRT]

I think you read to much into my initial comment. I was making fun of the fact a blues lawyer could *possibly* buy it.

Maybe we should want blues lawyers to buy these...?

INT. CONDO

BLUES LAWYER walks in the door carrying a large assortment of guitar gear, including a very large wooden amplifier head, a 200W Mother. BLUES LAWYER'S WIFE is reading an issue of Martha Stewart Living while FRANCESCA, their live-in maid, makes spaghetti sauce at the stove.

BLUES LAWYER

Honey, I'm home!

BLUES LAWYER'S WIFE

Did you have fun at the guitar store?

BLUES LAWYER

Sure did!

BLUE LAWYER'S WIFE

(feigning excitement as one might with a child) What did you pick up? Another OD? (excitedly) How transparent is this one?!

FRANCESCA rolls her eyes.

BLUES LAWYER

No, no, honey, the strangest thing happened today! There was a new salesman. He had on... one of those leather jackets with no sleeves...

BLUES LAWYER'S WIFE followed a bunch of Hell's Angels in the late 1970s, wherein, uh... let's just say the Harleys weren't the only bikes around.

BLUES LAWYER'S WIFE

A cut, dear.

BLUES LAWYER

Yeah, a cut! It said "Electric Wizard" on it...? Anyway, he said, this thing is better than the drip-edge Vibrolux I was looking at. He said that it "dooms"...? I wonder what that means? (pause) Look! It says "S C I E N C E"! It must use the power of science to make über-transparent tones!

BLUES LAWYER'S WIFE

Turn it on!

BLUES LAWYER

Sure thing!

BLUES LAWYER grabs a mint '61 Les Paul off the wall and plugs it into the amp with a cryogenically-treated Mogami cable and turns the power switch on. He hesitates momentarily before decidedly strumming a single Em chord. Instantly, FRANCESCA and her stove are blown across the condo, everyone's vision obscured in a haze of blinding hot spaghetti sauce. The issue of Martha Stewart Living is disintegrated in BLUES LAWYER'S WIFE's hands. Everyone's ears begin to bleed and although they cannot be heard over the oscillating thrum, it is apparent that BLUES LAWYER'S WIFE and FRANCESCA are screaming. Shelves of legal tomes and bamboo plants collapse. The condo is destroyed and, as the sound begins to fade away, we are left in the middle of a heap of shattered drywall, designer clothing, and artisanal cheese serving implements.

BLUES LAWYER'S WIFE

This is the last straw! (wiping spaghetti sauce out of her eyes) I have entertained your guitar obsession for too long. I was with you when you bought the '53 Goldtop... I was with you when you bought the Dumble... but this is ridiculous. Come on Francesca, help me pack. We're getting a divorce.

BLUES LAWYER

(standing, breathing in a heavy, but measured, fashion, looking at the Mother) It's okay, honey. I've got a new wife now.




...it could happen

Holy shit yes.

[waltdogg]

Got an e-mail from Alex at 4am last night, my Mother is just about complete!

Brace yourselves!

[skullservant]

Plugged into my shiv for the first time in weeks last night hot damn if I didn't fall in love all over again

[waltdogg]

Happens every time I play my Hellhawk.

[waltdogg]

My Mother is on it's way.

[Bellyheart]

I'm making some poor decisions but I'll have one before 2016.

[Exclaimed]

Sister GAS is out of con-fucking-trol. Listing some guitars today.

[Cisco]

Is the mother a straight-up DR-201 clone?
Cuz if so, that's very well priced.

[Bellyheart]

From talking to him, nothing is a straight up clone I believe. Most are pieces of one thing combined with another.

I could be wrong though.

Just get it.

[DannDubbleEwe]

Just get it.

This.

The Mother is based on the DR201 but has that awesome overdrive input that drives the amp in the almost indescribable way an Orange/Matamp overdrives. And the depth control is an F.A.C. as found on Matamps. The Hellhawk is mostly a Super Lead/Bass but to my ears the overdrive sounds more like a Laney with awesome Sabbath-esq power tube breakup.

Saw my first science amp in person a few days ago. It was awesome. Opening band for the ceremony tour in Seattle. I'll have to look up there name and post a pic when I'm not on my phone. Street sweeper with a science 4x12 and a Marshall 4x12. It was real Grindy. Looked like they had either a muff or fuzz factory on all the time. Sounded great though. Really articulate for the piles of gain and abrasive style.
