This is a PSA to update your forum passwords and watch your accounts like a hawk. I'm a member of the My Les Paul forum, but I rarely visit it or post. I think like a lot of people I have a junk email address that's separate from my primary and work email addresses, and that's where a lot of my...
I'm a huge fan of the load box/IR approach. With the Suhr Reactive Load and hosting the IR in my DAW, I can make changes after the fact quickly and efficiently without having to re-amp a whole track or album. I can also record cranked 100w amps silently at night.
I'm going to go against the grain and say the Quick Rod. I've had multiple Splawns over the years, and for lower tuned metal, I prefer the tighter and more focused Quick Rod.
I reached out to a dealer today as well and am in the same boat. I definitely want one, but it's been like 5 or so years that the PT50 has been in the works and "coming out real soon". I'll put in my order when I know it's really happening. Definitely looking forward to it.
The QR is my favorite amp on the planet and is the benchmark that I compare every amp to. GAS causes me to keep trying new things, but as soon as I A/B the flavor of the week to the Splawn, I ways just end up playing the Splawn.
So I've been interested in the SE-100 for ages. I know the OD100SE+ on paper has the same lead channel, but is that really the case? Curious to hear some thoughts from any of you who have played/owned both.
I'm actually pretty interested in this. I've been wanting an SL68, but I'd just be loading it down for recording work anyway. If it can get 95% of the way there through studio monitors and for significantly less than the $3,500 SL68, I'm in.
I know a lot of great players who are surprisingly uninspired writers. I also know a several fantastic writers who play covers professionally to pay the bills. Everyone's on a different path.
It's custom made for Suhr to the exact recipe that Fender used in the early 60's. The magnets used for pickups to chip when they were cut, so Leo had to pay people to grind the magnets. It's why Strat pickups and Tele neck pickups have covers. They weren't pretty. To combat this, they changed...
