I'll second the SH14 Custom5. It's beefy, not too overpowered, and the low end is not as loose as the JB's.
ToneZone is an option, but in the wrong guitar it would become muddy probably.
Have you considered the DiMarzio Breed Bridge? It's big sounding, but also quite polite. So I figure for hard...
Well, can you name one album from, say, '78 to '82 with the same level of gain (so less than VH, probably slightly more than AC/DC basically), but with that same chewiness? And sure the songs rock well, so that helps...but for me, the tone definitely stands out.
To be fair, I think they lost...
Not just crunchy, but magically very chewy and juicy at the same time.
Interested to know if anyone knows what Steve Clarke was using gear/signal wise, aside from a Les Paul into a Marshall?
Duncan: Pearly Gates neck and Screamin' Demon
DiMarzio: DP103 36th Anniv PAF, Air Norton and Breed neck, but...the Breed neck needs to be in the right guitar.
In my Charvel So Cal it was so so, a bit too jangly up top (alder body, maple neck, bolt on neck and Floyd Rose probably all added to...
Oh he'll probably label this as 'hatin' ' or something... These days calling someone out on their BS is either jealousy, bigotry, misogyny, racism, etc....
To think that someone would actually own up to their doings/mistakes... you know, like not releasing a video with 5 high-output humbuckers...
Wassup @Bad.Seed :p
I figured that 'rent' is due, so lemme do a little pet peeve of mine about EVERYONE doing something wrong...
Difference is, I won't go against my own advice two weeks later. :ROFLMAO:
Anyway, on topic:

If you're looking at the Powerball, I'd go for version 2. Less clinical.
Powerball I was also known for not cutting through a mix next to some bog standard Marshalls.
I've played in a Twisted Sister tribute for a year and the other guy had a PB I...I had to help him with the tone shaping, since...
FWIW, I found the MXR Analog Chorus having one of the best base-tones, but... the bypass sucks big time! Major tone-suck. It's weird that they didn't make this one true bypass like the Bass Chorus or the Micro Flanger. I noticed it in the bypassable fx-loop of my EVH 5150 50W; with the pedal off...
Here's is 4 of mine (yes Dan, this is my flex :p...a mint silver screw MIJ Boss CE-2 with original box and papers :cool: ) and I recently added a vintage TC SCF as well.
Still looking to score a DC-2 some day. Had the Anadime ADC-3 and 4, but sold them. They sounded great clean, but so-so with...
That was my feeling to some extent as well with the SE EL34 I had for a while. Cleans were really nice (but then again, so are those on my Invader), but the Crunch channel was not quite what I was looking for in a multi-channel amp, and Lead I and II were brutal, but in high gain mode easily too...
There are some functions of the 120 that I'd like to have, but the 60 is extremely versatile. Heck, I've played in a soul/funk coverband (weddings, new years eve stuff n' shit) with the Savage 60 and a strat about 20 years ago. :ROFLMAO:
It still does the cascading gain thing (where Rhythm...
You rang?
I had to add a little Palmer switching thingy to be able to hook up 2 cabs in series, since the Savage 60 just has 1 8 Ohm output and 1 16 Ohm, but it sounds glorious with both Marshall cabs.
I get where you're coming from, but like I said in my previous post, there are cables out there that are still affordable and definitely an upgrade over a bog standard $10-20 cable you buy in a store. And soldering it yourself can drop the price even more.
Also, it's always best practice to...
The LLX is different than the XXL; the reason I like the XXL so much is a few reasons:
-low enough capacitance
-very flexible
-thick (enough) inner core (0.75mm2, roughly AWG 18). Note that the LLX 'only' has a 0,38mm2 core (~AWG 21).
-smooth/glossy cable jacket; easy to clean and doesn't get...
Yes worth it...in reverse!
I went from buying Monster Rock cables to Sommer Spirit XXL and Klotz LaGrange, and soldering them myself. 1/3rd of the price for a better cable with more highs (lower pF/ft or pF/m if you're on my side of the Atlantic).
Another nasty thing about the Monster cables...
Please note that the DiMarzio Norton fits this to a t, but is 12.62kOhm DC. It's not super hot though...more medium, medium/hot. But clarity fer days!
@JohnnyGtar I'm very curious about trying the Evo2 in the future. I had the original Evo set in my Ibanez S series and after a while I found...
