Testing, testing...is this thing on?

What's up gang? Several beers in, wrapping up the weekend and back to the grind tomorrow. Thought I'd try to get some conversation going here. We obviously all have a mutual interest. Anyways...

Tell me a little about yourself. Where are you from? Beginner or seasoned vet? Are you an at home player? Gigging musician? Studio guy? If you're in a band, what music do you play? Covers, originals, both? Got a website, Facebook page or Twitter account? What's your guitar or guitars of choice? Which Hughes & Kettner amp, and why? What other amps do you use or like?

Hmm...guess not. lol.

1. St. Louis
2. Veteran
3. Totally at home, for now.
4. Gigging: Used to be.
5. Studio Guy? Yup! Nothing worth posting though.
6. Guitars: See signature.
7. GM36 - Does the job with no fuss or muss.
8. Amps: See signature; considering Kemper. Didn't care for Axe FX. Am noticing many professionals are switching to Kempers now in live situations.

I just discovered this forum today while doing a "google" search for Tubemeister 5 mods. As I looked around and noticed the participation level, I figured this forum just recently started up. Then, as I checked out more threads, I realized that this place has been around for quite some time. Kinda odd that there aren't more H&K participants. But then again, I'm a huge H&K fan, and I just found this place today. Go figure.

Anyway, back to the topic. I'm an "Army brat", from all over. I'm purely a bedroom / home studio wanker. I've been messing with guitars for 50-something years, but if you heard me play, you'd think I bought my 1st guitar last month. I'm more of a tech than a player. I still love it, but I love wiring them more than playing them. I think it's a left-brain / right-brain thang.

I'm a retired electronics tech, working mostly in the military sector. I still do guitar and amp repair on the side, so to speak.

My only two H&K amps right now are an Edition Blue 60R and a Tubemeister 5 head. I modded the EB60R with an external speaker jack so I can play other heads through it. The EB60 is a killer amp. Highly underrated. It has one of the sweetest clean sounds I've heard. But I'll save more comments on that for the "Edition Blue" sub-forum.

I hope this place grows. Seems like a nice place to talk all things H&K.
