Prolly gonna get me laughed out of the thread, since there's absolutely nothing metal about her, but has Hannah Wicklund been mentioned? She played up here a couple years ago at my city's Mile of Music festival, and while she could have a full career merely as an amazing singer, I can attest...

I've always wanted to try one of those! Over the innarwebz, they just scream classy!

Welp, here we go: the first of (likely too) many clips to come as I get my new rig dialed in ... Let me know what you think! P.S.: Thanks, YouTube, for capturing Goofy Guitar Face #6 in the thumbnail. Much appreesh.

It's been a minute, for sure! It's been a long time since I needed to change up my rig, and when I started thinking about doing that, I started lurking on the forums again. It's cool to have something worth posting about, lol!

Welp, I got too old to lug my big Shiva head around to rehearsals & gigs any more. So I sold it and my Suhr Badger mini rig, and got me my first brand new amp in I don't know how many years. And it got here TODAY!!! So here's a long, rambling, but (for me) EXCITING unboxing & playthru vid of...

Good LARD, that sounds fantastic! Man, I just sold my Shiva in order to downsize (prolly either to a 3534 or an SLO-30). Now I gotta wonder how big & heavy this JB is, because all three channels sound killer!

Marshall JTM 30 combo H&K Edition Tube combo Those two were just ridiculously thin and brittle sounding. Koch Studiotone 20 head Had a real love/hate thing with this one for a few years — loved the features, size, & convenience; never really bonded with the overall voicing of the amp. Also...

I'd think anything off of Hysteria ... but this is prolly the most, um, "produced" track:

The only amp I've actually bought twice is a Budda Superdrive 18 combo, and the second time around it just clicked & I've had that amp now for like eight years & change. Thing is, I went looking for one the second time because my tastes were changing and I realized that what I was probably...

These three are about equal, but gun-to-my-head, the Mirage I Koa has been my #1 the longest (since ’98), so she ultimately wins. But I love them all!

Sick Michael, man — a blast from the past. Can’t believe you remembered me, lol. I haven’t been on RT in years, but just happened to get curious and checked back in. Hope you’re well, mang!

:lol: :LOL:

Amazing. Happened across this old thread & saw this post. Over six years later, and here I sit with a Bogner Shiva EL34 reverb head with a matching Bogner 1x12 cab, and I'm utterly delighted with my tone & have zero amp gas for the first time in ... well, ever. :D Credit where credit is due...

LOL^^^ But seriously, that first vid really puts to bed the notion that you gotta play .013s to get good tone, dunnit? :yes:

Basically came in here to say that. :thumbsup:
