Picked up an old Mesa Boogie Mark IIb (1981) that needed quite a bit of work. Managed to get it back into good-enough shape for a Wenj. New reverb tank and probably more caps and resistors to replace. Still sounds pretty cool for an amp that appeared to be stored in a barn for last 20 years. 3N Sword Cop Wafer Thin Mint Bad Jack 81 Stun
Jeremy set up his ensemble of amps in a wet/dry configuration. Effects only going through the kitchen sink leaving the Z-Wreck all dry. Was a lot of fun to try out and I think it sounds fantastic. Abochon Illative Nager Astrut Wakerife Isogeny Krimmer
Finally posting from last month. First foray with the little mesa I believe. Deliquesce Sumgumption Dongle Dinger Bastardo
Two weeks in a row! What a streak. Played the Mill City guitar through the Z Wreck Jr. again. Quite a match in my opinion. Growly. Brought over pedalboard Rev 219. Recent additions include a BOSS OC-5 octave pedal that I found used at Lavonne music. Impossible to find since the chip shortage started. Also picked up the Fairfield Circuitry ~900 fuzz (about 900) from El Diablo my all time favorite music store.
Didn’t have a ton of time which might have been a good thing. Get right down to business. Just showed up with a guitar and played through Jer’s Z Wreck Jr. Great amp. Jer laid down some killer grooves. Good time now matter how brief. Remeant Interdendritic
Back in action! It might get loud? No, it definitely got loud. First night for the Mill City guitar to see the Sanctum Sonorum. Red amp, red guitar. Unplanned, but welcome. And a happy Wenj to all! Ruly Alectryomachy Kilderkin Unruly
Another great gathering. With moments of brilliance. LOL. At least much fun was had. Dave in town again for an all-to-brief jam session. Again, so much fun to have actual bass in the room. It always goes way too fast though. Not much planning, just a lot of playing. Pinch Pants Goatlike Just One More Nip Xanadont Scuffed Foggy To No Michelangelo Incomprehensible Quadrant Sloe Slog
Replaced the old EV-12L tank of a speaker in the Mark III with a new Eminence Wheelhouse. The neutron star of an amp lost about 16 pounds and will no longer rip your arm off while trying to pick it up. It remains heavy, but manageable. Think it sounds absolutely fantastic. Maybe a little less in the high end, but not in a bad way. Also learned what Avunculus means thanks to Jeremy.
First night with the old Mesa Boogie Mark III from 1985. Black dot special. It sure can get loud, but can also be quite reasonable. Jeremy on point with the naming once again. Frangible HighwayMirage LaBreaTreaclePit Marzipan NogginIt Rootless
First night with the Mesa Boogie Blue Angel. It’s way louder than I thought it would be. Has some nice punch. Add some RAT type distotion and it can get down right nasty, but still holds together. Sounds pretty incredible. I love all the amps! Did some experimenting with different sounds and levels. Reverb is pretty drippey when cranked up. Has a nice natural growl when turning the mids way up.
Jer got a new amp! Very exciting. Got to try it out. Just a King Tone miniFuzz used once in a while. Otherwise it was guitar into amp. Fantastic. FourToes TheWahl Tatterdemalion Dromedary WaxyWalrus
The time goes by so quickly when the jamz are on. A few hilarious ones in here. Always a good time. Mordelae Hhhhah Hans Vlad Ingestion Relief
Life gets in the way, but we return triumphant! Sometimes it takes a while to get warmed up and going, but eventually the good stuff comes out. Not in chronological order. I need to document these sooner after they happen and not three months later. Photoautotrophic ThePointyEnd LeadOut SuperDuperNovae D4E
Jer comes up with the best titles. Very under appreciated. This must have been the Princeton tweed in use with some heavy distortion. Classic amp. Scary noises.

First time in a long time! We all got together for a weekend jam. Dave zoomed into town with BASS. Much fun was had. Hours of music was played some of which is posted below. Prolific!

It was hot in there. I think this was the first night with the new/old Swart from 2007. Very cool. That was the only thing that was cool. Everything else was hot. Did I mention it was hot?

This one was a lot of fun. I brought over my Swart Mod 84 this time and just let’er rip. Hit it heavy with some fx tonight as well. The ambient stuff seems to turn out better. At least in this context. Some may disagree. Lay it on thick and see what happens! Jer’s drumming was on point. My playing wasn’t half bad. I think this may be one of my favorite jams in quite some time.
Back to somewhat regular jams again. Brought the old BC Audio No. 8 amp for more gain. Sounded great, and would be better if my timing was a little more on. Did spend 2 hours in the dentist chair earlier that day, so I’ll use that as an excuse. Not that I’m just rusty actually playing in real life with another human. Still some gems to be had in there I think.
Extrude at jeremyulstad.com The first Wednesday night jam in over a year. Used Jeremy’s new 3rd power spanky amplifier for guitar gloriousness. So good to get together again.

Jeremy took the helm again and split up the long meandering jam into edible chunks. This was a last minute jam that started with some technical difficulties. Mostly just my issues. Much fun was had in the end. It’s a bit of a time-warp. Ninjam allows people to jam over the internet by introducing whole measure of delay.

Many thanks to Jeremy to editing down the master, naming, and posting these. I’m just copying here for redundancy. Dave on bass, Jer on drums, and my scratchy guitar.

Had been meaning to post about this for quite a while. Jeremy and I had been getting together weekly for really laid back jam sessions at his super cool sound-proof home studio. Then the Covid hit and with it quarantine. The jams have sadly been absent for quite some time now. According to his site March 4th, 2020 was the last. Until now. Enter Ninjam.
