This week I spend some time outside the state to visit my parents to have urgently needed calm and relaxation. While things are usually going well, I was stuck to watch Friends The other night because I lost my far away privileges South Park and Nicolas Cage films. While I saw the episode with the title āThe One with the QUALLEā, I actually laughed out loud -which surprised me because I hate this show more than I can currently articulate -because there is a sight that surprises me: on stage behind Phoebe (Lisa Kudrow) she plays in Central Perk, where she was led with a hill halves. The most inappropriate device for a cafĆ© appearance because these things are hell.
There is no way that Phoebe has to move so much air
Although I cannot see the exact model of the Hiwatt amplifier in it Friends Episode, I can assure you that it was deliberately placed in Central Perk as an opinion gag for the musically inclined.
I can also confirm that the loudspeaker cabinet packs four 12-inch speakers and the performance evaluation of the amplifier between 80 to 120 watt tube stream can range, depending on how many valves are housed in the device.
As someone who played in bands in my formative years and until adulthood, I can tell them with the greatest trust that the Hiwatt -Halbe stack behind Phoebe in this Friends The episode was put into the background to discharge laughter because it is absolutely exaggerated.
For the context, I once played bass for a stoner metal band, and both guitarists played similar rigs. As a usual complex āI have to be the loudest person in the roomā, which is a typical guitarist behavior, I remember Redlining my own rig to find my place in the mix.
A general rule of thumb for bass players like me, who play through solid-state rigs, indicates that they are at least three times as high that they keep pace with a similarly rated tube amplifier. During a rehearsal, I had my 500 watt rig turned so high that we rattled lights out of the ceiling.
We were so loud that we had to have a band meeting about the rejection during the rehearsal because we were Drown of the drum kit. In addition, it makes it so bad that they are so loud in a basement, since their hearing is so bad that their balance actually concludes until they go into a door frame after they are expelled if they do not wear hearing protection.
So when I saw Friends Suggest that Phoebe uses a hiwatt amplifier for your central perk gigs.
Friends have indie credits
When I saw Phoebeās hiwatt in āThe one with the Quallsā for the first time, I immediately watched them Friends Episode online to see if someone noticed it. What I learned through my research is that Friends Has an indie cred that I knew nothing about because I have not broadcast the series since (maybe I should look at and re -evaluate after this information). By Rachel (Jennifer Aniston) Wearing an MC5 T shirt in āThe One with the Lotteryā for Phoebes Hiwatt have pointed out the fans of the show to a large number of Easter eggs that are based on the occupation of Friends Are much cooler than the characters they represent, all unbearable (fight me).
Could be a sophisticated motif, but probably just a gag
The fans have suggested that the Hiwatt amplifier was introduced into which Friends Episode as the result of a crew member who writes in the production budget so that you can take it home after a series of episodes, but I canāt find anything online that confirms or denies this claim.
Although I always appreciate this level of small book chef, especially when it comes to free music equipment, I am ready to accept that someone who works on the show was simply that it would be fun to bring the half -stack on stage as a gift because it brings a cafƩ to a cafƩ that opens the mental image of Phoebe in front of the soil.
