Day 26. Once soundcheck is done, resist the urge to turn up your volume. If you do, you contribute to volume wars and potential feedback issues, ultimately harming the band and the music. It’s a thankless task, but maintaining your level serves the entire performance.

In this video, I tell you why I love the new Ashdown CTM-15 I found at Gearfest through Sweetwater. Its a small punchy tube amp with 15 Watts of all tube power that you can use without a load, so you dont need it plugged into a speaker. I really like Ashdown for a gritty British rock vibe, and this amp punches hard. Thanks to the guys at PRS for letting me crash their jam session and Ashdown for capturing the moment!
