Great Hubert Sumlin tone, this baby has some sustain too!

Comment by Lane Coker on June 7, 2011 at 1:07pm: I have a couple of shields for my amps. They work well, although I believe tilting the amp is better. I also have drum shields...they work wonders in small venues.

Comment by Michael Schaefer on June 7, 2011 at 10:17am: Hey Bill,

Yeah, I've seen those used by the rock crowd quite a bit. Always wondered if they could be applied the way you described in a blues setting. Glad to hear they work well.

Comment by Bill Jones on June 7, 2011 at 9:45am: At Antones last night, there was a plexi glass "blast shield" in front of the house blackface Fender Super Reverb and I was very impressed how great it worked. It did not effect the holy tone of the amp at all.

You could hear every note as intended when I played on stage. Best part was in the audience....you did not get that direct ear numbing blast that last long after the show. Has anyone else seen these?

Comment by Michael Schaefer on February 11, 2010 at 3:52pm: Looks great guys (and gals). The comment wall is just a random set of comments about the group in general. If you want to discuss a particular subject, create a discussion and we'll respond in there. The discussion also allow you to post pics, videos or anything else you can put in HTML. Keep it coming guys. Great stuff.

Comment by Gordon Malone on February 11, 2010 at 3:23pm: Thanks, Tommy! I love that B15N - Not very loud but sure sounds good!

I told Michael that I'm thinking about playing some guitar again. If I do that I'll need an amp and I'll come to you for consultation!

Comment by Tommy Tomcat Arnold on February 11, 2010 at 3:10pm: Gordon! That's gorgeous! Maybe I should just pass all my parts to you.. tell you what I want.. and let you do the hard part. :) There's nothing like a Pbass thru a b15n.
