Marshall 2203/4 (the JEL mod in the one I have is really articulate and mid gain if need be)
Twin Sister/recent Dirty Shirley w/bright switches (I like a SS rectifier plug to tighten it up a bit)
MGL (they all are fantastic but the new ones are amazeballs)
I like how the Splawns and Stilettos...
I’m sure there would be a bunch of guys into the idea, I just think that number would be in the dozens and that wouldn’t justify the amp. But hey, it’s just my opinion and you know what they say. I figured $4k b/c that’s what Petrucci’s model runs
Which is why they released the IIc+ RI. The Metallica fan guitar players with disposable income prob already have one of those so are they going to drop another $4k+ to get a Het sig model? I dunno man…
Not sure how you know which ESP guitars sell the best but there is a big difference between an import Explorer knockoff and an sig Mesa amp. You can cop Hetfield’s tone pretty easily for under a grand and a sig Hetfield amp would be prob 3x that
Used to be most Heritage LPs were heavy but in the past decade or so they have done a lot better than Gibson in that area. Prob for me is there is only one neck carve and as a giant human one size fits all doesn't work. F'ing Gibson makes us spend a premium for the fat necks but it's worth it...
Lots of good tones in that amp—esp with a eq or boost—but tbh I don’t think I’ve played guitar in my bedroom since I’ve lived in places with multiple rooms?
I credit RJM for turning me from one of the “MIDI is really complicated and not for me” guys into someone who uses the tech regularly. Good people, great products.
I’m with you, I’m simple. I don’t want to run 4 x 20’ cables from my rig to my board but I want to be able to use time based fx—even with a channel switcher—after my amp rather than before. I can do that. Plus I don’t want to carry a delay or reverb pedal.
Zero incentive for me to do that? You posted the same threads you mentioned initially, the guy with the Wizard. I get it, you believe him. I don’t. I have the unit and am well aware how mistakes can be made, you need to pay attention. Same with the PS. If the TAE fried amps there would be...
Same vague, unfounded line we see every time the TAE is mentioned. If I blow a tranny...wait...you know what I mean...I'll be sure and put my name next to the claim. Like real people do.
