I can agree with this ^ ^. But re: how many watts the OP needs in an amp setup for a live show? Assuming it’s a show that has even a rudimentary PA , not many watts on guitar amp And in modern digital mix and design, a good modeler b with a quality digital line out to FOH which will have all...

Jc 120s are gorgeous amps!

I know this isn’t a tube vs SS post but can’t resist. Tube guitar amps are really beautiful creatures ?

There was a time decades ago where PA’s weren’t that advanced and audience volume was needed from each instrument. Those years are long past. Big rock/punk/whatever style bands you see with stacks of speakers behind them? Most are void of heavy speakers because they’re unnecessary. UNLESS (and...

And regarding mic’ing the amp,!yes that is an absolute reality and a standard for even medium-sized bars/venues. Most will have a house PA system and smaller ones come with a sound man to run it. Any sound man will tell you first thing at soundcheck to turn your amp down. And it’s annoying. But...

It sounds like snake oil and 1 watt on a factory spec scale should equal another and maybe they do but I’ll say this in support of above…the loudness (maybe just perceived) is different in both SS vs Valve, but I’ll even suggest vintage vs new. Buddy has a newer Yamaha power plant stereo with...

I had a maybe similar sitch with an MSR-16S (Dolby S not DBX and different machine) I bought off eBay years ago and after pulling the cards and cleaning it, the tech place (TASCAM support praised them but forget the name) they either couldn’t or didn’t know how to fix the problem. Mine was...

This was a basic 12 bar original I used when I got the 488 II. Recorded in proper studios with a few bands and on cheap 4-tracks not knowing what the hell I was doing, but the 488 and this recording is when I started trying to actually learn tracking and mixing, not just playing and hitting...

Here is a cover I tracked of Tommy TuTone after I bought a bunch of decent outboard gear cheap (relatively) in the early/mid 2000’s and after I got everything I needed, had to learn how to work it, including what mics where for each instrument, treatment, board, busses, etc. So I adjusted...

Unfortunately, it seems to happen so often to him. Self-control behind a keyboard has never been his strong point.

Totally biased, but trem on a Les Paul...not right.

Also, must've missed it but what happened to Greg?

I don't like sign guitars. If I'm going to mod a stock gtr I want it to be exactly the way I want it, my signature model if you will.

Here is another of their tunes with Jeff playing an SG. I like the LP tone much better, but he still owns his playing and gets a great sound from it. The second guitarist uses a '72 Deluxe or (year unknown) LP Std. and occasionally a 335 usually through his Super Reverb. Both of them use...

My new favorite tone idol is Jeff Massey (the singer/lead guitarist) of The Steepwater Band out of Chicago. I buddy of mine has been their second guitarist and lap steel since 2012. His tone is good, too, but Jeff is the sole reason I bought an Orange amp because of the tone I heard with his...

According to wiki EVH's tracks on the debut album were reamped in Sunset Sound ' live room. I know he also used an echoplex to get that awesome echo as well. His tone is one of my favorites for that style of music.

I'm also in the slick, wide leather camp. I have a few from I can't remember where and the two recent buys- a no older gibson leather and a walker and Williams leather. To me, the padded ones seem to stick like glue on my shoulder in one constant, uncomfortable spot.

Late to the show so the link is expired. I used to own a couple of the Performer series DOD in the 80s and still own an old early 80s model fx40. The later fx40s that added a 7th band sucked. The earlier ones (first 3 graphics models) sound great. The basic DOD choruses fx60 and 65 had the...

I don't think I've played a Hagstrom, but both of those guitars look nice. Congratulations!

The TS9 is a great pedal. I can use it at low drive level for more saturation going into an overdriven marshall, or I can use use it at a higher drive level setting and get a good moderately distorted tube sound through a Super Reverb. Both sound great, just different flavors of the same genre...
