Battle of the Bobs
Pretty simple, who’s music do you like better?
It could be for songwriting prowess, cultural impact, musicality, whatever, just which do you prefer?

ST20C or Origin 50C
Does anyone have experience with the Origin 50 combo and what the circuit is like or based on?
I recently got a ST20C and I like it but it doesn’t have quite enough headroom so it’s a little more distorted than I’d like at stage volume. I started looking at the Origin 20 and 50 and those have a master volume as well as DI out and a Creamback speaker. On paper, it’s what I’m looking for but I don’t know much about the circuit. Are they based on the JTMs? I’m also looking at the Friedman Runt 20, but it’s more of a 2 channel amp and pricey.
I play alt-country and mostly play fairly clean rhythm but also trade leads. The ST20C handles boost for leads very well and the cleans sit well in the mix, but it starts getting pretty gritty pretty quick.

Jason’s Old Live Tone
Does anyone here happen to know what amp he’s using on Live in Alabama? His tone on Goddamn Lonely Love is all time great for me. I’m assuming he wasn’t playing a Dumble yet.

Student Loans Closing?
I’m quickly approaching the moment where I can pay off my student loans (hold for applause). I paid off the highest interest and unsubsidized ones first and every time I did, I would get a hit to my credit followed by the points coming back in a month or two. I have three left and I’m wondering if it makes sense to pay off all but a few cents and keep them open since they’re technically some of my oldest accounts. Is there an advantage to this? How will this affect my score once there’s no open loans? Will it dip and recover or hurt it overall? My score is excellent, so I’m not too worried, but I’m curious how much these 10+ year old accounts impact it. Does the debt/income counter the age of accounts? Thanks in advance for the insights.
