This week, I spend time outside the state to visit my parents for a much necessary rest and relaxation. While things are going above all, I was stuck to watch Friends the other evening because I lost my privileges from a distance after making the line of an unhealthy quantity of Southern park and Nicolas Cage Films. Looking at the episode entitled “The one with the jellyfish”, I laughed out loud – which even surprised me because I hate this spectacle more than I can currently articulate – because there is a gag of view that took me out: on the stage behind Phoebe (Lisa Kudrow) in Central Perk, where she interprets her folk music on smelly cats or whatever. The most inappropriate equipment for a coffee concert because these things are noisy like hell.
There is no way that Phoebe needs to move so much air
Although I cannot distinguish the exact model from the Hiwatt amplifier in this Friends Episode, I can assure you that it was deliberately placed in a central advantage as a gag of view for the inclined musically.
I can also confirm that the speaker cabinet contains four 12-inch speakers, and the amplifier power rating could vary from 80 to 120 watts of tube power, depending on the number of valves that are housed in the unit.
As someone who has played in groups through my years of training and well in adulthood, I can tell you with the greatest confidence than the Hiwatt half-pile behind Phoebe in this Friends The episode was placed in the background to cause laughter because it is absolutely exaggerated.
For the context, I played once from the bass for a metal stoner group, and the two guitarists played through similar platforms. Like the usual complex “I need to be the noisiest person in the room” takes place, which is a typical guitarist behavior, I remember having my own platform to find my place in the mix.
A general rule for bassists like me who play through semiconductor platforms suggests that you need the power at least three times to follow an equally well rated tube amp. During a rehearsal, I had my 500 watts rigging so high that we were lighting lights in the ceiling.
We were so noisy that we had to have a group meeting to refuse during rehearsal because we were drown the battery kit. In addition, playing as hard in a basement with your hearing so serious that it actually throws your balance to the point where you are walking first in a door setting after having hidden if you are not the type to wear hearing protection.
So when I saw Friends Suggest that Phoebe uses a hiwatt amplifier for his central concerts, I spit my drink and I ended up giving the family a dog bath because it was absolutely energized with diet coke.
Friends have an indie credibility
When I saw Phoebe’s Hiwatt in “The One with the Jellyfish”, I immediately searched the Friends Episode online to see if someone else noticed it. What I learned through my research is that Friends Has an indie credibility that I did not know because I have not watched the series since it was originally broadcast (maybe I should review and reassess on the basis of this information). From Rachel (Jennifer Aniston) wearing an MC5 t-shirt in “The One With The Lottery”, by Phoebe’s Hiwatt, fans of the series highlighted a multitude of Easter eggs that suggest the cast of the distribution of Friends are much cool than the characters they represent, who are all unbearable (fight me).
It could be an ulors of pattern, but probably just a gag
The fans suggested that the Hiwatt amplifier has come back Friends The episode following a crew member writing him in the production budget so that they can bring him home after a series of episodes, but I can’t find anything online that confirms or denies this assertion.
Although I always appreciate this level of cooking from books to small, especially if it is for free music equipment, I am ready to accept that someone working on the show simply thought that it would be funny to have the half-pile on stage like a gag of view, because bringing a hiwatt to a cafe evokes the mental image of Phoebe on the central floor before completely repressing the place of the mosh. “”
