    Sorry can't help it...this is taking the traditional post wedding balcony kiss to a whole new place. Hope it's not a Gen Y thing!

    Its a VOX VT20. Got a great deal on it and a multi channel (2 banks of 4 channels) foot switch!

    Heres a good little demo...http://youtu.be/3IdCfeq5gLQ

    Love this thing! Can plug ipod and earphones into it, on board tuner, multi channel, HEAPS of presets, Amp models, effects and easy to work out. Im loving the foot switch. Go from clean to a dirty rhythm to a heavy sound for lead type stuff. Really no need for any effect pedals now!

    Got it off the shelf for $285 with the foot switch included. Retail on amp is $300 and cheapest Ive seen the FS is$65 up to $100.

    Can you tell how happy I am? haaaa

    I just wonder why you put that in the "Things that make me grumpy" thread.

    Some guy who has qualifications hanging out of his you know what, who advertises his "new family business" & says he'll do it all for $25 per hour!

    This really makes me spew! Here we are working year after year to get the industry recognised as a genuine trade & along comes Mr $25 per hour!

    Well mate! You'll either increase your prices after a while because your business isn't making a profit, or your business will fail! In the meanwhile, the rest of us have to field customers inquiries from people who think $25 per hour is the going rate. YOU KNUCKLEHEAD!

    This guy really has the qualifications to make his business work, but no idea how to do it! He has a friggin degree for Christ's sake!

    But does he really have the qualifications or is he just trying to make his advertising look impressive?

    Tell people you can make more stocking shelves at Coles and put them straight on what it's really worth!

    Well hate to say it but that's half the problem. Having a degree does not impress me at all. Half of them are educated idiots. Spend all their time learning things that they forget 2 months down the track. The best teacher in my book is experience. From the sound of things this bloke has concentrated on getting all the qualifications rather than actually doing the job.

    Ya just gotta say, "He has his hourly rate and I have mine, if you can find someone who is willing to work for nothing, good luck to you, in fact give me his number and I'll get him to come and do my place while I go out and earn some decent money."
