I pretty much fell out of love for metal for a few years. Their 'All Our Gods Have Abandoned Us' album is an absolute belter from start to finish. Genuinely the best metal album I'd heard for 10 years or more. Fleetwood Mac's Rumours has an integrity about it, where the troubles of the band...

My old man lives a couple of minutes walk from his old guitar teacher. I had a few lessons from him back in the day. He was fully determined to becoming the best player he could possibly be I think. Where students might have taken an exercise away from a lesson, I think he'd pretty much return...

Had the privilege of playing some shows with him back in his yout'. He was a phenomenon to us even in his teens. He's one of the best rhythm guitar players in the world today for sure. It was really only a matter of time before the world would catch on. He's also left handed & started playing...

One of my regrets was parting with the Suhr modern in my avatar. Now a father of two, I can't see myself ever being able to afford another of that spec/price. :( I was so happy once I made a few trades & ended up with my Suhr T. Just a really playable, spanky & percussive guitar. No way near...

The Suhr Satins are pretty loud & vibrant. Super light & natural finish. I think I read John Suhr say in a factory tour that if a guitar doesn't sound good unplugged, it's unlikely to sound good plugged in. That being said, my old Mayones Regius was super loud & resonant unplugged. Also the...

I think there are more pros than cons to owning a top notch modelling unit. Maintenance, portability, consistency, studio. etc. I found there was too much in the box for me though. It was almost a lesson in what I didn't need and also that I just kinda prefer the organic 3D character of a tube...

That wall of amps looks so rad! Congrats!

I had one back in the day. I had the resistors upgraded & installed JJ E34L tubes. Completely change the amp for the better.

Can you dial that 'ting' out with the tone pot? For me, I find there's a sweet spot on the tone control where the highs just begin to creep in. Its position seems to change depending on the pickups & electronics. I typically have to dial the highs back more, the higher output the pickup is, to...

Interesting. I would've thought most people with that kind of cash would already have an amp or more & would buy a reactive load for all the practice & recording benefits. Collaboration with PT of course, so I suspect built to cater for his needs for the most part.

That's pretty steep, but that being said their products have been pretty much all stellar from my experience. This amp is all hand wired presumably?

What sort of price range we talking?

It's a pretty weird subjective rating system. There shouldn't be any discrepancy between the quality of top from one guitar to the next in this price point imo. I wonder at what point in the build the top is judged to be '10' and whether this happens spontaneously, or whether they try to meet a...

Ironic that it's called a Custom 24 really.

I think the Shawn Lane Vigier has a zero radius fret board.

That guitar looks amazing! :thumbsup:

Bought a Suhr Shiba Reloaded recently. Love it. Adds a lot of character & is really sound enhancing compared to other TS type pedals i've had in the past. You can adjust the output to match amp volume & toggle the gain settings.

I see him shredding on the FB Suhr community page every now and then.

I switched out my TS9 for a Shiba Drive recently. Quite a considerable difference in voicing & performance. The Shiba has a much more 3D quality about it which I like. It's also much higher output. It doesn't seem to lose some of the middle frequencies that I found with previous TS pedals &...

I'd invest in a decent modeler if I did a lot of work in the studio or toured. I mirror some of the sentiments above about the modular aspects of pedals & amps & the way they have their own intrinsic character & sound. It was almost a good lesson owning the AxeFX to teach me just how little I...
