Hot Rails is exactly that - hot! But I prefer the Chopper T - more articulate, and complex in tone. Never had a JB Jr, which has always been on the radar as well.
I’ll give him the benefit of the doubt. Having dealt with anxiety issues since the early 2000’s, unless you’ve ever experienced it “for real” in a clinical sense, it can be hard to understand how debilitating it can really be.

Noticing a ton of anti-Fortin sentiment on RT these days. I haven't really been paying much attention to it, but it finally has hit the tipping point where I need to ask why all the hate for all things Fortin? I don't own any other than some plugins from Neural DSP, and while I don't think...
Said it before, and I'll say it again - the Comp I had (50 watt) was probably the best "Marshall-y" amps I ever owned. It was a pure joy to play! Just the right amount of sag so that I didn't fight with it, but still maintained good clarity. If I was using tube amps, that and my Mesa MKIV would...
I had 3 LTD EC-1000T-CTM's - 2 white (i had EMG's, the other had Dimarzio 36th Anniversary), and 1 black w/EMG's. I hate EMG's, but loved these guitars, and even with the EMG's, they were inspiring.

I'm just mystified where people are getting the money to pay for ungodly overpriced guitars these days. I never thought I'd see the day where I'd never even consider a new USA-made guitar just out of principle, never mind what they're going for used, but hey...here we are.
Mine is fantastic! The frets need a little polishing (which I'll do when I change strings), but that is LITERALLY all I can even think of that was less than stellar.
