'I battle gravity'
No one ever went wrong buying a Marshall.
Hope the procedure goes according to plan.

You got that right. It was a shame that I couldn't afford one back when I was on the road. Oddly enough though, I acquired a Sunn 100 watt head back in the late 70's to which my sound engineer and I had to tweak the tones to unbelievable settings. Full treble, full mids and NO bass at all and the volume was maxed. The bass only muddied the sound up. Bought a small 5-6 channel equalizer and reshaped the sound. Sounds a bit strange, I know, but once we found the sweet spot, it was every bit as good as any Marshall amp. Funny thing about this, my dad built my speaker cabinet and I installed the 4 Celestion speakers. I acquired the amp for dirt cheap from a buddy of mine and took it on the road. Seemed like every guitar player I met out there was blown away by the sound I was getting. I was also using an attenuator to manage the on stage volume and allow for the natural overdrive. The Sunn was a tube amp using the exact same tubes Marshall amps do.No one ever went wrong buying a Marshall.

And as you might have guessed, the tubes had to be changed at least every 10-12 months from being driven so much. Yup, This "Po-boy" rig was a beast.
And regarding said procedure,I feel pretty optimistic about it. The proposed date for the surgery is on the 17th this month. So it's only days away. Keeping fingers crossed. Thanks for the support.
