If I had to spend 5k on gear I’d have a hard time not getting a new Robin Machete and a Morris UK68. I may have to top it up a bit or get a 67, but that’s fine
For me its more so "the amp has a developed a hum, let me swap a couple tubes and see if I can eliminate that" rather than trying to fine tune the tone. The more I turn the amp up the more the differences fade away if its just trying to nitpick the tone.
I often will keep the back covers off if I'm rolling tubes fairly frequently, but if I am happy with it I'll put it back on.
Preamp tube covers are a waste of time. They stay off
One factor I think of is that it has become a bit of a thing to try lots of gear, and a lot of people who get sucked into into really can't afford to buy dozens of $3-5000 amps and take a significant loss on them. So they try to get as close to the new price as they can, hoping that someone is...
Sweet! Though the SLO has sort of fallen out of favour, as a rock guitar player I would love to have one again. I don’t need Uber tightness. Gimme that juicy lead tone and a good crunch and we’re off to the races.
Currently my rig is guitar-tuner-Morris Sirrom-Boss SDE3 in the loop- Greenback 412
I have a Strat, two Hum Single guitars, and a single hum guitar (not including the RR1 that’s for sale).
I can get every sound I’ve wanted out of that simple rig and my hands.
I went through a a brief...
Of the 3, the Wolf is my least favourite, the LP and G&L both sound pretty close through the shitty headphones I have at my work desk. My home base is sort of bolt-on floyd guitars, so its cool to hear that sound pretty close to the LP, with the positive (bright) things I like about Superstrats
$2000 if you meet me in Buffalo, Erie, PA, down to Pittsburgh, in that route on Tuesday or Wednesday this week.
