Hacker Amp Demo "Chicken Catcher Blues"

I've never tried to catch a chicken but imagine it is not easy - you nonchalantly happen by before making a grab, then in a flurry of claws and flapping feathers the dang bird gets away, mocking you from the roof of the coop...!

The Hacker Sovereign II radio/amp was repaired and converted for guitar by Smojo, our very own electronics wizz kid, and I couldn't be happier with the sound - very rich and revealing, I used Punch 2 for the demo and for fun made up the musical piece almost on the fly, a usual Sunday morning noodle, though a few other builds i tried sounded pretty good. No effects - the sound you hear is true! The amp is very loud and breaks up nicely with increased volume, I will be making more songs with this I can see! (-:

PLAY LOUD !

Comment by Slowpaw Steve T on March 5, 2012 at 4:56pm: Cheers guys! - ED did the Italians get soup, eggs, or nothin'...? (-;

Comment by ED (Bad Finger) on March 5, 2012 at 4:32pm: Yeah, I've caught many a chicken. How else you gonna make soup?

I remember we sold a bunch of old hens to an Italian family that had moved up to the country from NYC. They were running around the coop trying to catch them screaming "Son ova beecha!"

Anyway, I like it. Nicely done. :)
