Install the Aldrich in the Modern Lite and see if it's still vastly different. They should be more similar than they are different. Aldrich is basically an overwound SSH+. Been ages since I last tested them, but I recall the SSH+ being a bit brighter with the Aldrich having a bit more of a mid push.

Have done it, sounds cool. Usually just grab whatever I can get cheapest from a reliable vendor who tests the tubes before shipping. EH, JJ, Psvane, etc. Kohle with the audio test:

Roadster (and Road King) are darker, for sure, but it is vastly more versatile. Channels 1 and 2 are just awesome. Channel 4 sounds killer, too. Little more vocal midrange and not as cold sounding as a normal recto. Kohle did a good vid comparing how they sound with 1:1 settings: At around...

Great amps. Amazing clean channel, too. Can't get over how good the clean is on that thing for such an insanely heavy high gain second channel.

Most tight switches I see are done by reducing the coupling cap around the first stage. Marshall is using a resistor to ground for their tight switch? Any gut shots on the 800?

Fryette is designing the Sound City module that I believe will be released this year. Was leaked by themselves by accident when showing off their new location on a whiteboard.

Assuming current production only, I'd go: Mono: KSR PA100R Stereo: Fryette 2/90/2

It's good, like mine a lot. I think the Eclipse is a better overall processor with higher quality effects and a few algos that don't exist on the H90, but the H90 has a lot more "creature comforts" that make it better to integrate into a guitar rig. Nice editor, bluetooth, spillover, instant...

I would wait for the Syn-20IR in your case, and grab that. All tube, portable, has a built-in IR loader with headphone out, dedicated clean channel, power amp simulation stuff. I think it's exactly what you're looking for.

I'm assuming racks aren't included in this. Savage 120 Mk 2 or some EVH variant

Looks exactly the same to me? Just different knobs.

Heard these are killer. I believe this is the stuff Dave Friedman is recommending these days, too?

Hah, this is awesome stuff. Might try making one

Hipshot is great. That said, for TOM-style bridges, I prefer TonePros. From what I remember, TonePros are basically Gotoh bridges and tailpieces with a locking screw added to them to prevent them from falling off. Suhr also used the TonePros stuff on the Auras he made, so it's pretty quality stuff.

Awesome, happy (soon) birthday, japetus! Sure, I'll play. 1693

Thanks for that pic, Rex! I don't remember my personal EMG 60 I used to own looking quite that "blue/gray" color. Always looked silver to me. I remember mine looking more like this which looks like an 81 to me: https://reverb.com/item/86233335-emg-60 But this one definitely looks more like the...

Colors refer to the magnet itself, not necessarily the model. Silver = Ceramic Gold = Alnico Copper = Dual mode So an EMG 60 will have a silver logo, and an EMG 60A will have a gold logo. EMG81 is ceramic, so it's silver. EMG85 is alnico, so it's gold.

I don't get the issue with board mounted sockets. Not sure how it's that much different from other famous preamps? VHT GP3 (Fryette is famous for board mounting tube sockets in all his designs) CAE 3+SE Bogner Fish Egnater IE4, old variant Mako Mak4 Also don't get the issues some...

For a bright cap? Any decent quality ceramic disk will work. Something like a Vishay/BC Components one
