I have a star player tv and love it! Pickups are pretty low output and have a nice openness to them. Playability is good although I find the neck to be a bit chunky in the shoulders, action also has a bit of fight to it which I don’t mind. Overall it’s a bit of a rock machine, can turn its hand...
1. Carol Ann OD3r - should never have sold it, an epic amp!
2. Bogner Goldfinger 45 SL - my current amp and not a million miles away from he Carol Ann, does everything I need really well
3. Bogner 3534 - My first Bogner, loved the clean, loved the blue channel, struggled with the Red channel

If you’re being active when wearing it’s hard to beat Bose soundsports, bit of an emphasis on bass but outside that pretty well balanced and very comfy when running etc
You can’t deny the man has chops and he’s got a great work ethic, the guys always releasing new stuff, some good, some great. His last effort ( time clocks) was pretty good, some pink Floyd moments and a nice diverse album, dust bowl is quite good as well. I would echo most comments that in...
Another vote for the Bogner Goldfinger SL. It looks shit, it’s footswitch is confusing as hell but as soon as you start playing through it none of that matters in the slightest. It’s just got this great chewy thing going on and it’s such a versatile beast, I’ll put my neck on the line and say it...
Lengthy response alert!!!
I’ve been using in ears for about 5/6 years now and wouldn‘t go back but it’s a rabbit hole, so items of note:
- The do slightly detach you from the audience, I say slightly because if you have enough mics running, including a drum overhead then you general still hear...
The Halo kicked my capistan on my board, as for reverb I use a Meris Mercury 7, not much has comes close to that one, including the new UA Del-verb which is alright but not mind blowing.
Also consider thE goldfinger sl, to my ears a better clean than the Ecstasy and the second channel is 3 flavours of Marshall but with a hint of Bogner (nice low mids and a rounded top end). Coupled with the ability to boost, bright and fat switches and a bright/fat eq it’s an incredibly...
Currently reviewing my amp choices, I dont Like having multiple amps so my amp has to be versatile to fit with 5 different bands.
My outgoing amp is a Carol Ann Tucana and challenging it’s place is a Friedman Twin Sister or a Bogner Goldfinger SL. Having played both amps live I’m leaning...
’record well’ is such a broad term when most studios eq guitars pretty significantly to sit within the context of a band. Mic placement, speaker type, mic type, preamp quality all contribute.
I use iems for every gig and I play small pubs all the time. I do the to protect my hearing and it also...
I’ve just started using a Suhr Corso, using its line out into a cab m+. It’s a great little amp, gives all the tube goodness you need. It’s a great clean platform but also pushing The amp to break up and flick8ng the higher gain setting gives a great classic rock tone, boost it with a clean...
