I have an older Korean one. Very well made guitars. Metal hardwares on these have a tendency to rust after a few years though.

Same here, might just pick up another used H9 and run it together with my first one lol.

Mike should've pocketed his acquisition money and retired for good instead of being a shill for Avi Elkiss. Doubt the little SS amp and the pedal has much to do with him design-wise.

'79 Silverburst '90 Ebony '19 1955 Black Beauty Reissue

Haven't played the TC but a real HM2 does that too. There's a lot of studio magic in the Entombed tone. The core element is in the pedal for sure but don't expect to get that tone instantly with just the pedal and whatever amp.

Congrats! That's very clean looking one for sure. Here's a '79 Silverburst I picked up before Gibson decided to make a $10k reissue of it (and subsequently drove the price of the original up).

I think it's their previous demographic getting older and have more money now lol.

They have nothing to do with Marshall apart from using EL34 though.

That's the best thing you could do actually.

What I found over the years is that stage volume probably play a part in the overall sound in small pubs a lot more than the sound guys like to admit. Most cab-less bands I saw in small pubs sound hollow and have this void in the middle of the sound stage. Not much of an issue in bigger venues...

Salvation Camerock for me.

They are mostly modded Jet City. Probably not very close to actual Orange/Matamp's, but it's in the tonal/gain ballpark where all these Matamp guys end up with their pedals haha.

Here's my 2010 R9. The main thing I liked about historics is that you can get really lightweight ones without weight relief.

I have a Syn1 and a GP3 but I don't have the Fryette modules. But I'd say the extra tone shaping controls on the GP3 are definitely worthwhile.

The 2/90/2 is pushing 90w out of only 2x KT88's and run at a higher plate voltage so it'd be quite different from the more common versions of the 4x KT88 UL power section.

Yeah I prefer the contour on max too. The lower settings might be useful for lead guys like Neil Zaza? From your experience it definitely seems like Rick keeps tweaking the amp under the hood.

Yeah still have that one, it's a keeper for sure. I like the amp but for my main tonal needs it just doesn't do anything the MC1 can't. Still good to have both though because more is more haha.

I bought a 100w MC1 a few years ago and really liked it. Always fancied a MC2 since I'm quite curious about what the contour control does. Having a master volume on channel 1 sounds useful too. Got the chance to pick up this 2020 MC2 50 watter. Channel 1 is definitely a lot more usable than the...

I still use the Focus since the extra frequency range on the Standout were useless to me. Focus was the first time I actually liked a boost pedal. Since I already cherry picked my pickup/amp combinations, more mids or extra clipping are the last things I need. I just want to cut some lows.
