People used to rag on me all the time for "touring" with a 2x12 and not a 4x12 but as soon as you stick a mic in front of it in a live situation it kinda becomes null and void, I played for years with a boogie 2x12 and never had any issues with volume or tone, in fact I think the lesser bass...
Winger is one of the most underrated bands out there, the talent those guys possess is crazy and Kip is an amazing writer. If you haven't checked out his solo albums I definitely recommend them, not as rock oriented as winger but damn good music, Andy Timmons played on all 3 solo albums I...
I've had 7 of his guitars over the years, still have 4, Jerry is the best out there in my opinion, his work is impeccable and he's always willing to take a call if you have a question. Very good dude. I need to get one with single coils from him, are these the Hippy Whip pickups?
Never played a badlander but I was never a fan of rectos, I had a single rec I loved many years ago but it was modified like crazy, I gigged with a tc-50 for a few years and it was a great sounding amp and it could definitely cover the styles you're looking to play, my only gripe was the combo...
Had one for a bit, the loop was fine, a little noisy but not unmanageable. I played it live probably at 100 shows and it was always a good sounding amp. My only issue was the boost being controlled with a midi controller wasn't 100% reliable cuz it would activate half the time I needed it to and...
I owned about 5 or 6 of their guitars back in the day and they were a great value and very well made but now with the price hikes I'm not sure I'd go that route for the cash, I'd love a new axis but they're just too much for me to justify.
It may have been a one off but the last couple I tried...
Saw periphery a while back and couldn't walk out on them fast enough, this tone was part of the reason. My biggest issue with modelers is it seems that everyone feels the need to run two amps at once along with 6 different boosts and 4 compressors with an assload off effects all because it...
Played for 20 years carrying 150 pound racks and multiple cabs wanting to get the perfect sound that the crowd never gave a shit about, about 2 years ago I decided to try out the fractal stuff telling myself that if it's 80% as good nobody would ever know anyways. Won't look back, the sound may...
I've owned seven luxxtones and still have four, the playability is unmatched for the price point, I've played and owned just about every guitar out there and I'd put them against any other. The green one you bought is awesome, I was eyeing that up myself, hope you enjoy it. Here's a couple of mine.
My first real guitar was one of the sparkle 570's from 96-97, still have it and those were great playing guitars, I would have bought it for that price no problem.
