This is a cool thread... I have thought about this more than once myself... For the last 15 years or so, I have always had an EQ available because I am always running my amplification in 4CM with a Fractal (or similar) processor, but, for some reason, if I *have* to use even a little bit of EQ...

Yes 100% absolutely take exception to the idea that not identical is somehow “worse”. In some cases it is definitely better. Think of it as a build your own boutique amp rig. A/Bing the Syn stuff and using it with various heads it is not uncommon for the Syn to sound better than a head’s own...

Another Synergy lover here… I have the 30W head and a Syn2 rack that I can run with any of my three power amps or into the return of any of a number of heads via DeLisle switcher. Like others have mentioned as long as you are treat them as their own thing and do not expect them to be exactly...

I always loved Kick Axe:

Leaving an IR on wouldn't sound harsh, it'd sound the exact opposite; like a blanket over the speaker. In general, the excessive filtering from an IR diminishes the sound of a cab because the cab is rolling off the same frequencies the IR is and they double down in an uncool way. You probably...

Quoted for truth. In digital, there is Fractal and then there is everyone else. IMHO. Like @TheGreatGreen , I own a bunch of other gear and amps but the Fractal could absolutely be my entire rig if I did not have that luxury of collecting analog stuff as well. Fractal + Powerstation + Cab can...

Rarity is driving those prices. The HR25 had people trying to sell them for 5K until the SLO30 dropped for 2.7K and the floor fell out from under them on the used market. I doubt there is any meaningful relationship between what randoms on reverb are asking for those old ones vs BAD’s target...

That sounds correct.... I bought an M60 this year (about a month or two back) so have been researching Elmwoods for a while this year. :D Mines an early one (the M60 had two variants) the serial starts with '05' so I'm wondering if date of manufacture wasn't 2005. They are a bargain on the...

MZero is EL34, Trinity can be built w/ one or the other depending on buyer's taste/wishes.

My understanding is Lynch did not want that to be an LM record. From an interview:

Might have been an Axe Fx II:

The Driftwood slays, IMHO. Maybe my fave. That said, the Kraken was the only one that I would consider less than good. The 6505 was also a bit uninspiring which surprises me because I consider it the archetypal metal amp; but that is probably just me wanting more presence on it rather than a...

Two days after. 6/26/06... Also part of the HCAF exodus.

Reported.

Yeah Bogner stated the OG was around ~45W. @gtr31 That makes a lot of sense. I wonder if a 3534 could be modded to a 50W version w/out a transformer swap.

My fave of the cabs I have is my Synergy 412, which is the same as the Friedman 412 (Greenbacks on top, V30s on bottom).

I‘ve had this one, about three or four months: https://www.delisleguitar.com/shop/de-lisle-amp-speaker-selector-8x6-pro-plus-with-reactive-attenuator/ It’s been great so far.

Doubtful. That'd be peanuts for Maiden and Fractal has gone on record saying they don't pay artists. It's pretty easy to understand what is going on here. Most of the appeal for these big acts are probably pragmatic considerations that apply for big name artists that are doing a huge...

No one has made such a product because Bluetooth’s inherent latency is far too large for live guitar playing or monitoring.

Before you give up on digital completely: buy a Kemper and compare your experience of not playing it versus not playing the Fractal. You may find that you have a strong preference for not playing one over not playing the other.
