I'm with you 100%. Brian is amazing and I absolutely love rockabilly music. My profile picture here at Rig-Talk has a rockabilly feel. Setzer is one of my very favorites even though I don't sound anything like him. Hell, even my full sleeve tattoo is a vintage microphone and a Gretsch hollowbody...
I like Maxon OD-9 but have loved the Boss SD-1 40th Anniversary pedal. It has been on my board for a long time and I love it. I have no GAS for a new overdrive pedal but I would love to try the Friedman Buxom Boost someday.
I feel the same way. I have zero problem with anyone using an OD to get "their" tone. It just isn't for me. That's partly why i love my current setup with the 3rd Power Kitchen Sink. Great Marshall tone with no need for a pedal. I have one on my board for flavor but my main tone is my guitar...
I only regret selling one amp and would have easily bought again was the Bogner XTC 20th Anniversary. It had 6L6 tubes and it could do everything I wanted and then some. I sold it as I was in the mode of trying lots of amps. If I wasn't so satisfied with my current setup I would get another one...
ENGL Powerball- I owned an original ENGL SE EL34 that I really liked but the Powerball just didn't do anything for me. I had it for almost a year and bought it brand new from DerekB at Rock Solid Amps. Not trying to be offensive but it sounded like I plugged into a bar of plastic and wax...
I haven't had GAS for amps for several years but have to admit that this is the only amp I have been thinking about. I would love to try one someday. I am into combo amps at this point and this would be a great one.
It is amazing! I had my Kitchen Sink combo built in mid to late-2018 and took delivery in early 2019. It has been my main gigging amp ever since. I have never experienced more compliments from soundguys and other musicians on my live tone since I have used this amp. It takes pedals very well...
I'm interested in that too. Could be the perfect backup rig if my amp ever went out. Sounds great!
Other than that..the only thing I want to get is more ink on my arm.
My 3rd Power Kitchen Sink combo is a 1x12 and it is killer. The Hybrid Master Volume is perfect for playing gigs and at home. 40w but plenty loud to keep up with my hard hitting drummer. Pricey but totally worth it!
I'm with this approach. I have been playing an Axe III or FM9 at home since 2019. I have never started playing with any deep parameters or constant IR changes. If I don't like the way it is going I just move on to the next preset. I have a couple of great IRs I use that seem to give me what I...
