The SD1 or similar derivatives are what I use. I’ve never gelled with a TS.

The Budda and Naylor preamps are very very similar and both had a lot of Friedman input to them. The SD30 is a dark amp. The SD45 is darker than a Marshall but not dark per-say. Never run the SD80 but I’m told it’s a beast! The Rockett Tim Pierce is based on the Naylor60.

I had the AFD 100 for a short period of time and really really wanted to love it. I didn’t bond with it at all. It’s absolutely a single channel head with options. The Vintage Moden is too, but found it way more useful. Had I had something like an underlined or Oscillator Siren, I’d have kept...

Thanks Thanks!

I can’t find the SuperDrive on the griffin site, only the screaming ts.

I’m sure the tech will fix it. It sounds like a dodgy FX loop. If it still persists, try plugging the guitar directly into the FX return and that could highlight a power tube issue. If not, it could be a defective cable.

Lots of people keep saying the Suhr is the better RL. I had the Suhr RLIR and Two-Notes captor X at the same time, with the same IR’s and preferred the Two Notes. The difference wasn’t massive but preferred it for my use.

Albums were the way previously and they were a journey. Not every track was a single and didn’t need to be as it set the tone for the rest of the tracks. Releasing songs as a single is no guarantee of success.

I fully expect bands to evolve but can’t help think the reunion was subject to re-recording the old album. It would have been better with cut back keys and forward guitars… and better vocals. No wonder Slash decided to continue with Myles Kennedy.

That’s the point about doing his own style on covers. In VH that’s to be expected. The issue I have is, if this is about VH then people go to hear VH, not a tribute act. Even a non official tribute act probably gets closer. Fully agree Satch looked super nervous and about to shit his pants, if...

Marshall. They make amps that do one thing well and in recent years (since 00’s?) have never made the amp everyone knows they could and should.

Pete Thorn would have done a killer job, too

For hot rodded PAF’s those selected have quite a variation between them. Some are potted other aren’t. I’ve been using a WCR Goodwood bridge, Crossroads neck set for around 8 years and they’re fantastic. I have Wolfetone Legends and Dr Vintage sets so Wolfe won’t go far wrong although you’ll...

The MXR Custom Modified Overdrive gets close. It needs some tweaking to get there.

That 69 😲 I’d forgotten how much I loved that style of amp. The 78 sounded quite thin by comparison. I don’t know if it’s the natural EQ or the mixing process but the 69 sat way better in the mix and didn’t get in the way of the vocals.
