joe,
this may sound kind of strange, but i want to assure you i have zero motives. i just wanted to say "thank you" for giving me and my son tyler some common musical ground to enjoy as father and son. i picked up on you while i was serving in the army in the late eighties and have been a fan ever since. my son started borrowing my cd's of your music as soon as he had his own cd player. as years progressed i think he'd bought every cd you made. your stuff always seemed to find its way in his rotation of music. the reason i have such heartfelt thanks to you, is the memories i will always have of tyler and i listening together, or dicussing which song we liked. tyler joined the army january 2005, got hooked up with 101st airborne division, and was later sent to iraq. unfortunately just this november 2nd 2005, he and two other soldiers were killed by an ied. i was devasted, and almost gave up playing guitar for the rest of my life.(sorry, i dont mean to bum you out!) but i realized if i did tyler would not of wanted that. he would want me to continue. so needless to say here i am. i will always have great and wonderful memories everytime i hear your songs. and its wonderful therapy for me. dont ever underestimate just how much your music touches us who have the honor of hearing it! tyler believed highly in what he was doing, and wanted the iraqi people to have a chance to enjoy the same freedom he had experienced in twenty short years. i honor him everytime our band plays, and im getting my strat painted as a tribute to him. also i tried the jsx combo this week and deciced to get one as it is the most awesome amp i've ever heard in the 30 years i've been playing. i can see no other fitting way to honor and tribute my son than having a little part of that satch connection in my music as well. joe thanks again for just being you!!!...........DAVEMETAL

joe,
have'nt visited your website for sometime now, but thought i'd just drop an email. just recently bought the JSX combo. i think it's the best amp i have personally heard. i play in an 80's/90's cover band, hardrock and metal. that amp covers everything extremely well, and allows for anything in between too!! it is inspiring to play with. great, great tone!!
i am hoping to see you and eric johnson april 1st, in denver as i live about 50 miles north of there. i've seen eric live once, and was just blown away. seeing the both of you in one night will be awesome!!! your music has given me great pleasure, and something to always strive for as a player i lost my son in iraq november 2nd, and he was a big fan of yours as well. when i hear your music it keeps him and i connected, and gives me great memories of him and i driving somewhere with your tunes blasting on in the truck. just know you, and him an i are connected thru the great music you've created and i thank you! keep rockin and hope to be at the show in april!!!.
