Compared to an amp like the Friedman BE-50 Deluxe are his is multi channel amps similar to that take on a Marshall or is the BRBS different. More Mesa?

Has anybody played on any of the BRBS amps? Not too many here in the states. A few videos and a demo by Doug R. Most interested in the Vintage Class 3+. 50 watts in a pretty portable size with 3 channels and several tweaking options. I have played a BE-50 Deluxe as a reference to the type...

Found a Goldfinger SL

I like a Marshall tone in general, but there are some things about Marshalls that I don't totally get along with. I tend to like a little softer feel and tone than many Marshall proper circuits. Sometimes Marshalls can seem a little pokey or stiff sounding. It seems when they get good and...

Yeah... I will always have a loop going with delay and reverb if needed. Didn't realize the 101B loop affected main tone. Supposedly the 3534 loop takes an improvement they made on the xtc25 as that loop was a bit weak on the first few. Liked the Helios but would definitely like a...

I am looking at picking up a first from Bogner. I am closely watching for the release of the new 3534 which is supposed to reference the XTC 101B according to guys at Bogner. I have never played an XTC 101B or any other XTC. I have never been able to catch a Goldfinger Superlead at the GC...

I have my reservations after talking with Joe myself as he said the Eclipse is more of a high gain amp. The gain is more in line with a 5150 rather than the old Helios. A more defined 5150 style saturated gain. Sounds like it will be a different animal than the original Helios. I was hoping...

Paul Rose is another guy that is pretty underrated.

I know Friedman's first couple models of guitars were using the Motor City Pups. I think something custom based around the 2nd Degree Black Belt. MC does not show what the output ratings are on their pickups. How hot is the Detroiter? Here is what I am thinking after a little reading...

Thanks Scottosan. I can see with the design why the Smallbox does what it does in the plexi channel with the bypass.

Jeff Kollman is another monster player that you don't hear much about, but the dude can rip.

How much more does the SSV+ have in it? Is it any darker? The SSV is a cool pickup, but it is almost like playing thru a single coil with more power. I have an SSH+ in another Suhr and that one is too hot for what I do. I need to change that guitar out as well with something with less gain...

Is the mod with the SAT switch a different variant than the Wildwood version? From what I have been reading the WW version has something similar to the SAT switch, but only in the added 3rd channel. Your mod....Is the SAT switch selectable for both channels and also does it have a 3rd volume...

That is definitely one that I have been checking out. Suhrs, Motor City, Arcane possibly and the Duncan 78.

I have a Suhr Pro Series that has a SSV in the bridge. I see that Suhr uses A5 magnets for most of his humbuckers. I am looking for something a little hotter than the SSV, but still maintains an open clarity and can split decent. I see quite a few pickups that use A2 magnets in the slightly...

Dan Huff is a really monster player from back in the day. Good Call

Definitely have to see what they roll out in a few weeks at the NAMM show. I had an older Japan version, but will ahve to check these newer models out. I like the looks of the burst models with the maple top from last year.

Peavey Studio Pro. Been a long time. Can't imagine what it would sound like now plugging into it. But back in the day those Peavey's were everywhere.

Are the necks on the newer Sand Dimas models similar to the older Charvels?

The Bogner Helios Eclipse sounds like it could really change the appeal of that amp. One of the better old school Marshall style amps that I have tried out. Just could not get around the separate inputs to go from clean to the higher end of the drive in the original Helios so would have been...
