for what it's worth, i never read andy's disclaimer as a put down,
or even as having anything to do with you.  i thought it was just
the standard disclaimer that most everyone here uses when discussing
amplification.

as far as fancy amps, i've got a looong way to go before helping
people hear me is a good idea.  i currently make about negative 
$500 a year playing at the local jam, and my oldest (of 3) kids is
about to head off to college, so it'll be quite some time before any
of this matters to me.  but's it always interesting to hear about
this stuff, and i file it away in the nether reaches of my brain for
future reference.
