No doubt about it, transformers make a difference. Of course when builders get found using them they claim that it is because they sound best and cost had nothing to do with their decision. As said by someone above earlier, transformers are the most expensive parts in a build, classictone are at...

There were guys on tgp who owned many amps and picked the Helios as their new favorite. While the talk has died down here somewhat, I think that it's more due to the fact that so few of the amps ordered have been sent out yet. I think it was cool of bogner to not list the amp at $3500 even...

This is the only link showing up for me but this sounds killer. Someone posted a clip on metro forum of a Landry that also was great. Would love to try one in person.

Gibsons latest move is to no longer take the extra time and skill to properly do the binding nibs over fret ends. Of course that they pass it off as a move for our benefit to give us more room but in reality it is just another corner being cut. Another reason why these high end bartletts and...

Wow, that's unbelievable. You could get your money back with the speakers alone.

Since the replicas are a touchy subject, both builders have now came out with their own designs, they are similiar in some ways to a 59 but different in many ways. Check bartletts website and all the talk is about his own design, looks really nice too. Same thing with yaron , he has his own...

Yeah , if in mint shape about $1400 max. A 2203 would fetch more.

Last time I played with my want it went berserk and blew.

First off, guys like Bartlett and yaron were able to build you an EXACT replica of a golden age les Paul. This means same type and age mahogany, Brazilian rosewood fingerboard, exact paf copies, correct headstock angle , bridge position, etc. The same person builds each guitar by hand using the...

Someone made a good point above that even though the goop looks like shit, these things change owners and at least the goop guarantees that nobody else has fucked around with the original spec of the mod. I once had an original Jose modded jmp. I took it to a tech to have some minor work done...

Does this mean someone is going to start another jd appreciation threads or all the wonderful help? :lol: :LOL:

I don't remember it having near the amount of gain as an slo or a wizard mc. The one I played had a thick tone to it although not overly dark. Member James lugo use to have one I think , u may be able to find clips of his or a vid from his amp fest. Maybe you can pm him. I remember some saying...

I know , that is really some fucked up thinking.

Awesome Steve , does this have sunburst under the black finish? What color is your other Bartlett ?

Its not the best sounding cameron mod I've heard but it's not as bad as Dan makes it out to be either. Like others said, it's not recorded well and who knows how it was dialed in. As most know, it also depends on the quality of the donor amp. THERE ARE OTHER well known modders who have sent back...

I don't know, some of the jet city/Soldano hotrod comparisons sounded pretty close, I think its more on reliability and qc that will be the difference more so then tone.

I don't like the cosmetics at all but from what I've heard so far, the new amps sound pretty good. I also think that the prices are high for a made in china amp. But With a lot of people it's the exclusiveness of owning a real fortin. I bet that mike could put a real handmade natas, bones, etc,(...

But what about carpenter ants?? Seriously, these look really really nice as do your pedal boards. How much will this effect the price of a pedal?

:lol: :LOL: is that the h.b.e. input that was special ordered from Dave ?

Don't u already have a b.e 100 though?
