I made a video recently about having a go at exploring some of the dirty or distorted sounds you can get from the Boss MG-10 amplifier. Triple gains! This amplifier has three controls that contribute to the level of distortion you can get out of the amplifier. Two are potentiometers, one labelled “Gain” and the […]

Jimbo Guitar – Can I Play My Old Riffs? “Repeat” by Small Machine
This is another video where I see if I can still play one of my old riffs. In 2009 I joined a very loud rock band called Small Machine, and I played the bass. I heard them on MySpace and I became a massive fan, so it was really exciting to get the chance to […]
Jimbo Guitar – Can I Play My Old Riffs? “Things We Did” by Vehicle Derek
In this video I try and see if I can still play one of my old riffs – the song “Things We Did” which I wrote the riff for some time in 1988 when I was about 17 and playing in a band called Vehicle Derek. We were a fast hardcore punk band and […]
The Results
Since there is a page about Vehicle Derek on this site I really ought to put more silly-named band-related pages up here. My problem is I tend to ramble on and on about everything and it’s hard to get to the point half the time. Something of the history of Spunkle is actually available onscreen […]
Jimbo Guitar – Boss MG-10 Amplifier – Clean Tone!
I made this video recently going through some of the clean sounds that the Boss MG-10 amplifier can make. I’m playing through my original one that I got in ’89 and I’m also using a Steinberger Spirit guitar which I got in about 2001. I’m not using any effects between the guitar and the amp […]
The Squier SP-10 Amplifier
Since my site is quite popular with amplifier fans, I wanted to show you this video of the Squire SP-10 amplifier, which is a little 10 watt amplifier made by Squire (who are of course related to Fender). I thought I’d post about the amplifier because I’m going to mod this one beyond recognition, […]
Jimbo Guitar – Some Boss MG-10 facts
Update! New videos out now of Boss MG-10 sounds, both clean and dirty! Scroll down for more! From what I can tell, I get a fair few hits on this site from people wanting to know more about the Boss MG-10 amplifier, and since I have had one since they came out in 1989 (and […]
HH IC100 and electrified acoustic guitar
With some spare-room-reconfiguration this weekend briefly revealing my very early 70’s HH IC100, I thought I’d make a quick recording of Harry, my electrified acoustic guitar being strummed through the 100 watt weapon of mass destruction that is the HH IC100 guitar amplifier. For those of you familiar with the HH IC100, it’s on the […]
Firefly Amplifier (and Flying V guitar)
A few years back my brother built me this little valve (tube if you live across the Atlantic) amplifier, based on the Firefly circuit. I say based as I don’t know exactly how he did it, but I know it has an extra valve in it for a boost circuit, which is what I am […]
Modified, electrified acoustic guitar and Boss MG-10 amplifier
I don’t expect you’d consider a guitar like this to be matched with an amplifier like this but I have done this and can attest that they sound good. The Boss MG-10 is a small solid-state amplifier that gives a very good clean sound and some far-out distorted sounds. I bought mine in 1989 and […]
