Let's just say it was on "permanent loan". (No I didn't steal it) haha. But honestly if you get the chance to try an alternative material guitar, diffidently try. The industry eventually will move to alternatives when rare woods become unsustainable to harvest.
Yeah I had a 070 for ages. I can promise you no one who listened to our album wrote into me to say "I could tell you used a plastic guitar and it ruined the album for me." Funnily enough no one cared/knew!
I stick by these rules:
- Don't listen with your eyes
- If it sounds good, it probably does
So if a plywood squire into Peavy Bandit nails the tone, I couldn't give two shits of what folks on forums have to say about it haha.
The irony being that people do use them and if you closed your eyes, you would never even know.
Some killer companies:

Holds about as much weight (or less) as just saying "trust me bro, it does".
:p
Plenty videos debunking the dogma. Sadly people have eaten up the "tonewood" marketing and even convince themselves they can hear a discernible difference. But of-course, they never provide a null test. Often instead resulting to personal insults or defensiveness instead which usually says...
Looks like a ring door bell haha!
Pretty cool tech though, cool concept. Just does the opposite of what I want to do when I practice... which is get away from the computer!
I highly recommend everyone read the Yngwie Autobiography, then read the Unofficial Biography straight after.
The same stories, COMPLETELY different perspectives.
Let me send you 10 WAV files, 5 from analog, 5 from digital, using the same DI loop.
Using all your evidence and knowledge above, put your dogma to practice and prove us all wrong?
I've had enough of folks pointing at graphs and diagrams trying to tell me what I'm hearing. If it sounds good...
All we're asking is you back up your claim with proof via a simple test.
We all agree a Square, Sine, Triangle and Saw wave sound different. So we can park that discussion.
I'm guessing you only listen to music on record and record on magnetic tape? Since anything played back by your...
We aren't comparing an isolated Sine and Square wave, we are comparing analog and digital guitar amps.
Real test is whether you'd routinely fail a blind A/B test between the models and the reference amp. Can you claim to beat a blind A/B?
I like your style. Let the art speak for itself and don't let people know the technicalities.
I had a phase of purposefully recording on a "bad" piece of gear but withholding the info till after folks said it sounded great. I know it's a troll move but nothing beats the feeling of hearing a...
If we can't measure objectively what the difference is, then I'm inclined to say it's placebo. I've convinced many folks in my studio by swapping the signal from the Analog Marshall and Cab, to a line from a similar set up in the AxeFX. Never since the AxeFX Ultra have I had anyone say "wow is...
