The desire to be someone, and to identify with something that you like, something positive, is pretending at best. This archetype, or that one, or combined in a hotchpotch of identities, colours and attitudes.

Would you like to scratch the surface?

Vox VT40+ Valvetronix

The perfect combination of innovation and tradition, the VOX Valvetronix + Series combines sophisticated modeling technology with vintage know-how to provide an array of authentic guitar tones that are worthy of the name VOX. Based on the acclaimed VOX Valve Reactor circuit, which utilizes a genuine 12AX7 vacuum tube in the power stage, these advanced digital amplifiers retain the familiar warmth of a genuine tube amp. True tube tone is pumped through a custom designed 10” VOX speaker, while the intuitive control set makes customizing the VT40+ to your liking simple.

The Vox Valvetronix range of amps was hailed as the great happy medium between solid state and tube amps – taking the advantages of both and combining them into an amp that sounds warm and authentic yet is easy to maintain and retains the features the modern guitarist needs.

The new Vox Valvetronix Plus amplifiers take the next step with a greater range of models and features, and updated amp models that sound more accurate and faithful than ever before. The Valvetronix+ amplifiers are the new faces of versatility in the hybrid amp market.

A little history lesson here.

In the other Reflector group a while ago, some heated debates occurred, some with me, but all of a sudden to the fact it was an Open Group. Open for non Reflectors, as it has always been since it was made, but who reads the about group message that you see upon admission right?

So this became a huge problem, and Sabrina was so nice to make a new, closed group, only for Reflectors. The backlash she got from doing that without consulting them, whoever them are ! She just saw the call, the desire, wherever it might have come from/originated, and felt the push to act upon and did. She made a Reflector only group. It got populated with people.

In the mean time, some individual arguments continued, people started blocking me, I started blocking others. All so we don’t have to be triggered anymore by each others writings. I learned to embrace it.

In comparing with others we always do good and others always do something bad. Only to ourselves do we deem ourselves always and only bad, all of sudden the good is gone. Bring in a comparison and we’re back at us doing good and others doing something bad.

On and on and on and on.

The notion of doing this is good, and doing that is bad, is just a notion. It is not real, don’t listen to it, don’t make decisions through it, and see how your life changes.

Sometimes one learns a technique, and applies it occasionally or perhaps everywhere, and might even become extremely good in the application. But the technique is not you, it is not who you are. The ritual of exercising the technique, however well performed, is not who you are. Nor is being a bad performer of it, who you are.

Drop the identification with exercising any ritual or technique, and find who is doing it.
