Site Updates: Additional photos

As part of maintaining this site, I occasionally go through and find typos, update missing or incomplete information, or find things I think could use new photos or details. I’m always learning new bits of historical or technical information and I try to add things like that too.

It’s a pretty time consuming task as it now constitutes a bit over 500 pages - enough to trigger a warning from my host about size - so it’s more of a “rolling” approach, where I update one page at a time with big gaps in between. Occasionally though, I make an effort to make some larger scale updates and today I wanted to mention that I’ve added additional photos for a large number of guitars. Check out the list below for updated photos:

And a few minor updates, mainly the main photos (top of the page, front/back profiles) were poor on these pages so I took new ones:

Here’s a quick example of the old vs new profile pictures. I’m not sure what I was thinking with the red blanket hanging back there… fixed now. The amps make for a much prettier backdrop.

I still have a couple of things on the to-do list…

Thanks for reading!

Major Site Updates - Photos, Circuits, Descriptions etc

I know I haven’t done a video in quite a while, but I have been hard at work on the website. I’ve been building shelving to house my amps, taking photographs of every single amp I own including their internals, as well as cleaning up the guitar sections and adding descriptions of each item in my collection.

In addition, I’ve also added the schematics for a few amps, as well as other technical documentation if I have it available. Much of this stuff I’ve gathered across the web, or it was sent to me by someone, so I appreciate everyone who had a part in making this happen.

So what’s new?

First, new amp shelving:

Next, the amp internal photos, of which I found quite a few oddities:

I have to say, the soldered in Radioshack AA batteries from 1985 is pretty wild, and even crazier that they still work!

I’m still working through the website and adding descriptions to some of the guitars and other bits and pieces that I missed the first time through. The Kramer guitars section is definitely the most daunting task, but I’m starting to chip away at that. Hopefully by the time anyone actually reads this, I’ll be done.

I’m also working on a few other projects for TRG in the background too. The next thing I’d like to do is make some tone comparison videos between some of the amps, but I need something that’s a little lower effort content than my usual 45 minute presentations of the technical and historical details.
