Los Angeles amp show, Oct 6th

I went to this last year and I was like a kid in a candy shop. If you're anywhere in the area be sure to go. More boutique and custom amps than you can shake a stick at. Believe me, you won't regret going.

Several of the 18watt members were their too. Once it gets closer we should setup a get together time and say hello!

I wasn't planning to go last year but, wound up going anyway and had a great time. Highly recommended.

I went last year. I got to crank a couple of different amps back and forth between cabinets with Celestion Blue and Celestion Gold speakers, I heard (and played through) Scumback and Voxer and London 65 amps, I saw and heard the Mercury Magnetics revision of the Valve Junior (spectacular, though I know you guys can do as well or better), met or listened to lectures from a bunch of major amp dudes. I'm going again.

Good to here you're all going.

I have to say that you won't get the opportunity to play and hear so many nice amps in one place again. This show is where I fell in love with the Komet series of amps, Wow! Believe me, if you live within 200 miles, go to this thing.

I'm hoping to make it this time. Can't remember what came up last time, but I was shot down.

I'll be there.
Come to the AXL room and look for the geek.
Then play some amps.

I'll have a demo room there again with WCR Pickups and V-Picks...with the usual hot dogs & beer....plus a drawing for a set of pickups and another for a set of speakers.

I went last year to check it out and was maybe interested in displaying
Not a room but in the ballroom where there were 20 other dealers...

It was interesting and saw alot of people I knew and sell to.

It would be nice to get a demo room, but I don't think I'll be ready for it by that date

stupid house....

I may still just go for fun.

We should plan ahead for next year. How about a 18watt.com room? Not just any room but something BIG. A few amps, guitars etc. I realize each manufacturer might want there own room but.... Show the world what 18watt is.

For what it's worth I'd be willing to throw in $25.

Just a thought.

Just to let you know, the regular demo rooms are $850 each. A suite with two rooms is $1600. That's for the day, mind you. You get the demo room on Friday to load in, sleep in on Fri & Sat, demonstrate on Saturday only.

By noon Sunday you have to be packed up, checked out and gone.

You can contact Loni Spector (www.ampshow.com) about a big room rate, but my guess is you'd have to get quite a few people involved to make it reasonable.

Just thought I'd let you know what the costs were.

It looks like I will be going. I'll more than likely be hanging with Rocco. I should have a couple of prototype amps there.

I'm looking forward to this! It's a b-day gift to myself.

dartanion, well then you need to roll by my demo room with WCR and say hi.

dartanion · Post by **dartanion** » Tue 09/11/07 6:34 pm

I certainly will stop by.

This should be a great show, and I have a lot folks to grease palms with
