Well, it's music related.
This isn't actually a new head; it's just the electronics of my previous setup, an old semi-broken Fender solid state amp lined through a tinny 10-watt Yamaha (which somehow made it sound great) stuffed in a fancy box. The wooden box was built by a friend, and the patterns on the top/side were done by me with a standard sharpie, since I have to do this to every flat, clear surface in my possession (including my much-treasured acoustic guitar).
So yeah, it's basically a just a new shell, but I couldn't be happier with it so I had to brag it up here. ;) Some pros include:
-Looks totally pimpin' (...I really said that didn't I?)
-Light and tiny
-I can hit people with it (not that I would, y'know)
So yeah, there you have it. I love hacked-together equipment with a one-of-a-kind custom look to it. :p I record everything with this, by the way. You can get a surprising amount of tones out of it, especially if you mess around with what you use as a speaker. There's a few of 'em here: http://www.distractionware.com/josiahtobin/Amp_tone.mp3
It's really hard to get a good clean tone from it, but when I can it's beautiful.

Sweetness. I've got a Fender Frontman 25R (like the Fender amp you used in your "rig", except 25 watts and spring reverb) and it sounds pretty nice too for a small amp.

Yeah, you can do more with a little practice amp than one might think. I hated the sound the 15g had by itself though-- same goes for the Yamaha G-10-- but somehow, they sound great when strung together. Go figure :p

Hmm... at work so I can't listen to the MP3 yet, but I don't care how it sounds, it looks really sweet :) _________________ Mark Hall

Thanks! :)
The mp3 is just on-the-spot randomness really, don't expect anything too coherent if you do listen to it. :p
