PD^^^^
dunno. my crystal ball hasn't been been cleaned for a long time now and is now covered in a thick layer of smoke residue. could only review the past in hopes a semiconscious extrapolation into the future MIGHT be valid.
the san fransicko music scene was in large part the handy work of Bill Graham. he rented old venues that were no longer profitable in the Haight-Ashbury district and turned them into rock concert venues to harvest the lost potential of abundant outdoor free concerts of that bygone error. eventually the underground capitalists would roam about after dark and break into cars concert goers had invaded/overwhelmed the immediate area with. bud-o-mine got to the point that he would leave his Volk's Wagen "bug" doors unlocked only to learn the perps had no time to waste trying door handles before breaking the windows to get in. doubt the locals were very happy with the weekend parking gridlock either.
feel that this and profit$ eventually drove Graham to pretty much pioneer the arena rock scene by plugging into same equation unscheduled sports stadium time where profit loss "old venues" were mentioned above.
still, the abstract scienterrific message of live music energy exchange hinted at in previous postings was a big part of the audience attraction, IMO. after hearing the very real dangers of large scale sports arenas stampedes, like yourself my concert love waned and led to an ultimate break up of the relationship. also learned the shortcomings of mass parking issues. nowadaze, the "average" cost of ONE beer @ NFL league (what we call football here) games is $10 dollars. if that made you flinch, eat a BIG meal before attending one...
methinx these problems were what eventually created the demand for MTV that Knopfler* wrote about in 1985 with "Money for Nothing". nearly thirty years downstream we have an entire generation of populace who may have never gone to a live music show. they may never witness the energy that a live show has to offer.
they may also never know how cold and sterile AI generated "musak" is compared to humanly created songs.
the tide MIGHT reverse in the equal-but-opposite-reaction that Isaac Newton defined if a good live performance is seen by them. or not.
no Nostradamus, mitchfit
*Knopfler-- think his new album, "One Deep River" is a counter reaction to all of the label, agents and promotional parasite %es that are feeding on the industry today. a successful parasite doesn't kill the host. if nothing else, listen to first song and >>>TRY<<< to tell me he isn't a JJ Cale fan.

have to paraphrase MM here. recall him saying in a posting from yesteryear that he felt changes in scale are easier to overcome than changes in nut width. holds true for itself also.

PD,
through a thick fog of cryptic ambiguity an image begins to form.
now i'm even jealouser.
bonzo,
pheromones were around a long, long time before phentanyl. some say same can be more addictive, and down the course of time--even more expen$ive.
:^)
color me enlightened, even though my favorite color is camouflage.

You're correct of course mitchfit. But we know Jimi did a lot of clubbing when he first came to London and became influenced by the British music scene...... and i am jealous as hell i couldn't have heard those same gigs that he did! mitchfit

while not endorsing any of the conclusions of the dual slit experiment video i posted before, i uploaded it to stress the point that a person observing it could change the out come. applying same to Eddy's statement. animals react to music. plants react to music. we can't communicate with either with no language in common, yet music can. i look forward to the time when Kirilian Photography becomes able to capture the 30-ish frames per second rate of early video cameras. personally believe a music concert Kirilian video would be somewhat like an energy tsunami. YMMV: duckduckgo.com/?q=kirilian+photography&t=ffab&iax=images&ia=imagesSO WHY DID HE CHOOSE TO POST THE DUAL SLIT LIGHT EXPERIMENT? BELOW FROM: www.britannica.com/video/186826/test-paradox-Einstein-Podolsky-Rosen-Nicolas-Gisin-University-of "GISIN: Going to telecom fibers gives us the possibility to go over long distances because these fibers are very well-tuned for that. One village is north, is near Lake Geneva. And it is about five kilometers north and the other one is about five kilometers south. And so we have this ten kilometer, direct, special separation. So if then, on the north of Geneva, let's say on one side, we do a measurement. Then the photon on that side acquires a property. And instantaneously, in theory, and certainly faster than light in practice, the other one there also gets the opposite property. The output on one side is random, completely random. The outcome on the other side is also completely random. However, the two outcomes are always opposite. Not only do we not know which photon has which property, but according to the theory, well confirmed by the experiment, the photons themselves don't know." an experiment we all can do at home. take a digital volt/ohm meter. switch it to direct current measurement. grab the positive lead with your hand and ground the other. then switch from positive to negative in hand and ground the other. why does the energy flow both ways? mitchfit

archtopeddy said, "When humans play, we play and interact with not only the other players, but with the listeners who are hearing us. ALL of us are part of the musical experience." did you ever hear about the double slit experiment? through many recreations of this since the late 1800s, it seems to imply that a human observer may contaminate the experiment. see: the observer effect in human behavior paragraph in posted link below: www.linkedin.com/pulse/how-human-behavior-inspired-double-slit-experiment-outcome-kumar-jenhci don't even pretend to be able to explain this, mitchfit

bonzo,
you make a valid point.
still they did not even come close to the extent of both versions of Voodoo Chile, Third Stone From the Sun or Pali Gap did?

MM said, "nothing can replace the human spirit".
if a machine(s) can, it is only a matter of time before they form a coalition and decide that we need removed from the equation.
that's why humans will never be purely logical,

roger that!!! my youngest son has forgotten more about computers than i'll ever know. he says there is a computer out there that "creates" endless music in real time now. how could this be possible with NO phrases that were somehow copied from previous artists?
the machine can only regurgitate data that was programmed into the operating program.
not true with humans?

what Lee said. the suggestions above are only what the owners have liked, or perhaps what was not ideal to them as my thoughts on fuzz face, EQ as distortion or tube pedals regarding what MY ears wanna hear.
along those lines richclough's suggestion for Effectrode Blackbird may be worth looking into if the third valve is used as the (very low wattage) power valve and the other two as a preamp. this way an actual output tube saturation may sound very close to what my ears want. couldn't determine for sure if that's true about circuit from reading owners manual online.
consider testing what got mentioned above live in a [worthwhile] brick and mortar music store as all posters may not have similar likes to your's. buy >something< from them even if you didn't like the the audition. it is to your benefit they remain in business.
if i were looking down upon the planet from above the north pole i'd say the world spins in a counter clock wise rotation. if you were doing the same from above the south pole you would think i was so-o-o full of it my eyes were turning brown.
who's right?
before Jimi, feed back was generally considered very unwanted noise.

Jimmy Page used a Dallas Arbiter "fuzz" pedal turned way-way down on the wave peak squaring into a tube amp, with the rest added by amplifier output tube clipping. this ploy was used to avoid the "In-A-Gadda-Da-Vida" type chainsaw grind that many dislike. clearly this seems well beyond your stated desires. another option is just a 10 band EQ pedal used to cut unwanted frequencies and/or boost the desired frequency range into amplfication source and mildly saturating input signal to PA by tweaking input/output volumes to taste. reviews: products.bestreviews.com/best-guitar-eq-pedal?yb&cid=650116251&aid=1254543415160027&eid=&tid=kwd-78409332074560:loc-190&ul=78540&mt=p&n=s&d=c&dm=&dt&sn&adid=&k=guitar%20eq%20pedal&p=&pc=&ap=&chtrb=1&msclkid=08b57a186d341d32abfb1c0443913a9ethe Electro Harmonix "English Muff'n" was a compromise between signal Hz selection and genuine tube/valve wave clipping input to amplification source. it used a "cascading tone circuit". high/mid/low volume pots regulated circuit based on the Vox AC30 preamp design. the original OEM tube offerings were 12AX7 pair. later reduced to 12AY7 to get away from over emphasizing distortion. to my tastes a 12AU7/ECC82 is a better choice for most use. even an intentional use of different valves is possible in order to change gain characteristics. still, it will not really get the output valve saturation qualities from resulting signal. the EHX was steadily going down in used prices until the offering was dropped from production 'coupla years ago. now the demand has increased by lack of supply. user ratings near bottom of page: reverb.com/p/electro-harmonix-english-muffnNOT an endorsement for any of them. you have to decide what creates the sound you really desire. hope this helped some, mitchfit

Lee said--"really only looking UK to avoid complicated form filling"
good call on that one. you could be required to provide PROOF that the wood used to make the guitar is in no way hazardous to humans. after the shipping costs have been collected to import it to US customs.
not a fantasy scenario.
