    Friedman C45 setting on Marshall mods and og BEs

    50 or 100 watt? I have the BE-50 Deluxe and it doesn't have C45. It has Sat and the three way Gain Structure switch on the back. The 100 watt does have it, though. But you lose out on the Buxom Betty clean with the 100, which IMHO is the whole reason to get the 50 (not knocking the Plexi clean...

    New Faces? Why are You Here?

    Just thought I'd add to the thread. I've been here since the very beginning (might be in the first ten RT members?) but haven't posted very often in recent years. In that time my gear collection has definitely grown (working in IT and having a huge line of 0% credit at Sweetwater and GC...

    Amps that sound unique

    Calling Landry amp users

    Yes. There was the LS100G3 and then the 50 watt version (same chassis and layout). The LS30 is the same circuit but small form factor and a 30 watt power section.

    Calling Landry amp users

    I made a quick clip of my LS100G3 through my PS2 into the Axe FX for a Friedman GB cab sim with a ribbon mic. Not my greatest playing but I was making it up to demo the amp :) Note the reverb is the Axe FX not the amp. The reverb on the versions with the spring reverb isn't that great (even...

    Calling Landry amp users

    I have an LS100G3 from 2016 and continue to find new sounds in it. I don't have experience with Wizards other than clips, but my sense is that the Wizard will be more "glassy" while the Landry will have a more liquid tone and feel to it, like a Mesa Mark series (but without the Mesa EQ). Based...

    Finally have a proper desk setup after years of "making it work."

    Been a while since I posted, but wanted to share since I'm quite happy with this setup! So, having moved to California two years ago and running into the challenges of not having much space for, well, anything, I finally got around to getting myself a proper recording desk with rack space. I'd...

    Just pulled out the KSR Gemini after months ignoring it... wow!

    I think the only change I would make to the amp is have multiple values available for the bright switch on the lead channel. It reminds me of B2 on the Ecstasy, which cuts well and adds a ton of aggression, but can be a bit ice-picky. Sometimes I feel like I want a bright that’s in between off...

    Just pulled out the KSR Gemini after months ignoring it... wow!

    I've had my Gemini since 2021 (incidentally, the one Joe Satriani used to own, and I believe used on his Shapeshifter album if the "Gear Thanks" in the album book means anything), and when I first got it I wasn't finding myself getting along--probably because I've mostly been in the Marshall...

    Do you think modelers will get there in the next 10 years?

    Figured I'd chime in with my experience. I've been playing electric for about 20 years now, and tube amps for just as long (started with a used Peavey Ultra 212 I got for like $300 on eBay around 2002 -- what a beast!). I've had most of the modelers starting with the Line 6 POD, which was cool...

    Do you think modelers will get there in the next 10 years?

    Kemper does. Technically, Line6 does with their amp offerings. There may be others, but those are the ones that come to mind.

    Similar to the SLO but...

    I'm definitely loving mine. The stock and blue modes on the gain channel are fantastic, chunky SLO-ish goodness. Smooth yet ripping at the same time. Palm mutes are tons of fun. I initially got turned on after the latest Axe FX 3 updates, the SLO models are stupid good in there now and got me...

    Similar to the SLO but...

    KSR Gemini or Colossus. Kyle started out building SLO clones and it shows in his amps. They're a little less hairy than a SLO, but still have that chunky goodness that makes your guitar sound huge. Kind of like if a SLO had more Mark series midrange and smoothness to my ears. A lot more...

    Why does my BKP Holydiver seem so bright in my Strat?

    I would consider changing to block saddles from bent steel if you feel the guitar is too bright in the bridge. You might be surprised how much of a difference it makes. The BKP HD has a really great midrange fatness to it that should work well with a bright guitar. I had one in my alder/maple...

    Working on the next Henning amp design... Thoughts?

    Guy Hedricks did this in the late 90s early 2000s with the Guytron GT-100. It's an EL84 18watt Marshall/Vox style design into a dummy load, sonically amplified by a totally clean 100watt EL34 power section. It has Gain and Tone for each channel, and a TMB post-eq in the power section. It's...

    Electricians: help me out here...

    I'm well aware. I emailed my landlord not fifteen seconds after regaining my wits. Though the guy who came out today seems to think there may be a loose wire contacting the radiator/water pipes. The ground pin tests good on the actual power outlets. When he hooked up his DMM to the radiator...

    Well, turns out I'm not crazy (yet). There's a good 125V AC running through my radiator. Now the fun begins finding where the loose wire lives :D Goes to show that you should bring a DMM with you when renting out an old apartment...
