Letting go of my incredibly clean Friedman BE-100. This three channel amp offers a stellar clean channel along with two great hot-rodded Marshall inspired dirty modes. The amp features a fat switch, C45 switch (goes from more of a Plexi voicing to a JCM800 voicing) and a SAT switch that's...
A Plexi and V30's on their own is not at all the way to go in my opinion. Are you set on a Marshall? As others have pointed out, a Friedman/Suhr/Bogner with a Greenback and V30 blend will work a little better with those amps. Additionally, you could get a Marshall BX and swap in a pair of those...
They're pretty wild right? I did a bunch of YouTube videos for a retailer and got to try out most of the Quilter line. Super impressive stuff for the size/weight/price. They take pedals and modelers really well. I even used one in a live rig as a dedicated clean amp for a while and A/B'd with a...
I teach a little over 40 students per week, and I have a lot of luck with songs like Green Day's 'When I Come Around', 'I love Rock'n'Roll', 'Blitzkrieg Bop' and 'Seven Nation Army'. Even if your son isn't super jazzed about the songs themselves, they'll sound like rock...and that's pretty cool...
My Les Pauls have already appreciated significantly. I could sell four of these five Suhrs right now for more than I paid for them. Resale value isn't why I bought them though. It was to actually play them.
Big fan of John and his work. I suspect the majority of what will be sold are pickups, effects, load boxes etc. If you look, most of the guitars aren't in stock. Also, you'd have to be nuts to let Sweetwater plek a Suhr. They have the best fretwork in the business.
A friend sent me a Sweetwater link recently to a Captor X asking my opinion on it. A few days later someone from Sweetwater both called and texted me asking if they could answer any questions about the Captor X for me. That's just wildly uncool. I cleared my cookies and asked to be taken off of...
That's how I feel about my early 2000's Mesa 4x12 that everyone seems so excited about. I still have it out of nostalgia for all of the shows I've played with it, but it always sounded brittle and brash no matter what amps (dozens over the years) I plugged into it.
My old Edwards was pretty much a Les Paul shaped guitar of 1000 series LTD quality. It was fine, but I sold it and don't miss it. A Les Paul Classic is just a better guitar all around. That's not knocking Edwards at all, but it's not an apples to apples comparison. Get the Gibson and don't look...
