That is so badass! This amp has a great story that I will share once it is put back together. Trying to decide how much I share about this amps road to redemption...
I have a couple of custom ordered guitars where I had the builder direct mount the pickup as close to the bridge as possible. All 3 of them are my favorites. But one of them is Gutierrez so that's kinda an unfair comparison. But the other 2 are Dean custom shop builds and are amazing too. I'm...
Started on the accordion at 12 years old because my favorite aunt was a badass accordion player. Lasted about 2 years.
My first band I got into was Rush, before the "Permanent Waves" album came out. Started bass lessons on a junker Memphis P bass copy. Upgraded to a Ric 4003 in 10th grade...
I kinda like the guy, but the ranting gets on my nerves. Like if I was in the room with him discussing things between the two of us and he started ranting, I'd tell him to dial it back. It's a way different vibe when you get excited about something you dig and get animated about it versus when...

This. Remember when you first heard it? It wasn't just the music, tho this thread is about tone, it was the lyrical content too. You can feel James pouring his backend heart out about his upbringing. Even when the musics tempo goes into halftime during the "torn from me" portion of the bridge...
"Crushing" is in the ear and mind of the beholder. Some of my fiends believe Dimes tones and riffs from his last few albums are super badass crushing, whereas I think they are just simplistic noise. The super down tuned stuff i hear alot lately(sleep token etc)is not crushing at all to me...
An endorsement means nothing to me. If I want it, I'll buy it even if it was endorsed by someone I despise. But I won't just buy something even if i like them(cough...mxr dime distortion). I will buy almost anything Gary Holt digs...but he's never let me down.
