Apparently there's fewer of them at Uluru. I think sea turtles are pretty cool, and there's tons of them at the Great Barrier Reef. I went back and forth between the reef and Uluru, but in the end it came down to one thing: turtles. Great Barrier Reef - At least I knew this one existed. It is the closest that we've been to a nominee though, as we did fly over it once. Grand Canyon - It's kind of a makeup vote as we've made the drive from Las Vegas to Phoenix at least a dozen times, and despite my wife's frequent requests, we've yet to take the detour to see the canyon in person. For someone like me, whose buoyancy level is something akin to a boulder, this sounds appealing. They told me about how it's almost impossible to sink and that no matter what you do, you'll find yourself floating on top of the water. That one just makes me queasy.ĭead Sea - I've heard stories of the Dead Sea from Lori's parents, who visited it a few years ago. I was set straight when I read a post by Hecktic Travels about their visit to the Cliffs of Moher, and their pictures really impressed me, except for the one where she dangles her foot over the side. Up until then I thought it was just people misspelling Cliffs of Dover (which I only know from the Guitar Hero song). I will confess that I almost didn't vote for them, as I once got really bad service at a Rainforest Cafe.īay of Fundy - How sad is it that I live in Canada, yet didn't know where the Bay of Fundy is? Having never seen it, I'm not sure that merely having the highest tides in the world should qualify a place for being one of the seven wonders of nature, however, since I don't like snow, can't play lacrosse, and prefer Starbucks to Tim Hortons, a vote for Canada's lone representative seemed like the least I could do.Ĭliffs of Moher - I didn't know that the Cliffs of Moher existed until about two months ago. Combine that with the fact I'm pretty sure this is where Tarzan is from, and the Amazon gets my first vote.
Still you can't live in North America and not hear all about the rainforest. Let me explain my thought process behind each of the votes that I cast:Īmazon - Of my seven choices, this seems like the least likely one that I'd ever visit. It doesn't matter if you vote early or late though, your vote still counts the same, so I sorted through the 28 nominees and selected my favorites. I only found out about it a couple of weeks ago (Thanks GoneWithTheFamily). In the choosing of the new 7 Wonders of Nature, my vote actually counted, although apparently not for much.įor the last four years, people around the world have been voting on their favorite natural wonders of the world. After all, if you're going to vote on the world's seven wonders of nature, shouldn't you have seen at least one of the nominees? I make it a point every Oscar season to see all of the best picture nominees before deciding which one I think should win, and I don't even get a vote for those. I wonder if I should have been disqualified.

GUITAR: 1963 Gibson ES-335 (bridge pickup setting), volume: 10, tone: 8 1954 Fender Stratocaster with DiMarzio HS-2 bridge pickup (bridge pickup setting), volume: 10, bridge/middle tone: 7 (Note: Johnson’s Strat wiring was modified with a tone control connected to the bridge and middle pickups instead of only the middle pickup)ĪMP: 1969 Marshall Model 1959 Super Lead 100-watt head (Presence: 0, Bass: 4, Middle: 2.5, Treble: 0, Volume I: 10, Volume II: 10 Y-cable connected to top input jacks on channels I and II), Marshall 4x12 wired at 8 ohms loaded with 8-ohm Celestion G12-80 speakersĮFFECTS: Maestro Echoplex EP-3 (Echo setting, Sustain: 3, Volume: 1.5, Delay: 24 on a scale of 0-35) Paul C.’s/Chandler Tube Driver (Output Level: 3.5, Hi EQ: 0, Lo EQ: 0, Tube Drive: 4)
If you can afford it, adding a Dunlop Echoplex Preamp will get you even closer to Johnson’s violin-like warmth and sustain. TONE TIP: Start with the Marshall’s Tilt control at '5' to simulate using both Marshall channels at once, and dial to the left if you desire more warmth.
