    New Lynch ... Is.....

    I will reserve judgement until I hear more tracks. For a man that has put down some legendary riffs, licks and tone, I can't be alone to hope there is much more that his new release will offer.

    Vito Bratta tone on Pride

    Vito could drop a set of silverware on the ground and it would still sound melodic. I'm still impressed with his library of chops. That band stood on his shoulders.

    Tone chasing is exhausting

    My main rig for past 5 years has been a Splawn Super Sport with Helix for affects, OD pedals, etc. For he time being, i am perfectly content... I have no clue how I will feel a month from now. Who knows, I'll prob start rolling tubes again.

    Blackstar HT Club 50 MKII Review/demo

    Hey Jon, spot-on assessment. They are a great bang for your buck. I have played amps at double the price that did not suit my tastes any better. Fyi, the MKII is a nice improvement in overall sound quality vs the origional series.

    Album debut: April Asylum - A Leap into the Unknown

    I listed to it. Fine job Mr April. Is that Laney an Iomni Signatute? You surely conjure up some Sabbath like tones. I enjoyed it. Good job.

    Splawn 212 w/ Small Blocks

    I have both the Splawn 212 and EVH 212. The tone and resonance are pretty close. The EVH breaks up just a hair earlier. Going from a 412 to 212, you will also appreciate the dimensions of the Splawn cab too. It's slightly larger than most other 212's cabs, which helps give it more overall body.

    “Bark at the Moon” Live at the House of Blues

    Very nice. What amps are you using? Like gb mentioned, your playing is spot on - so is your tone.

    Tell Me About Super Sport

    There is a noticeable difference between the 6v6 and EL34 version. The 6v6 compresses quickly compared to the EL34. In my personal experience, this allows a much broader sweep in level of overdrive with the EL34. The 6v6 was a tad more Fender'ish, whereas the El34 is an improved Marshall...

    Lets see your Splawns and get some dialog started here.

    Thanks Mr C. I have been through so many pedals that I can't keep count. Yes, that is a HoF Reverb. I like the benefit of dialing in Reverb to match the room I'm playing in. I find the Etheral to be really good for lush-shimmer. Wheras, the HoF has a lot of flexibility. For instance, if...

    Pickup advice les paul

    EVH Wolfgangs are a solid choice too. Full sounding without booming bass or piercing highs. Nice cleans too. I have both the Rebels and EVHs, I get what you are explaining. The EVHs aren't as high output or aggressive sounding as the Aldridge or JB though.

    What kind of rock is going through your Splawn?

    I like versatility too. My Superport 50W delivers. From Cash to Hall and Oats, Setzer, Chris Isaak, SRV, Satch, VH, Pearl Jam, Lady A, Soundgarden, Foo Fighters, BLS, Gojira, Soilwork and Stone Sour. It's pretty to throw a Strat, Les Paul or Charvel at it and come up with the kitchen sink of...

    Lets see your Splawns and get some dialog started here.

    My trusty Splawn Super Sport. Have had her for 4 years. She cured a lot of regular GAS. Black Tolex with Wheat Wicker. Cabs are 212 Splawn + 212 EVH. Originally purchased as 22W 6V6. I recently replaced power tubes with Mullard EL34S. I'm now on 2nd honeymoon. The biggest change was...
