I am in both camps. I prefer to use my tube rig (3rd Power Kitchen Sink combo and a basic pedalboard). In my main band, I still use my tube rig as our regular venues allow for it. I love this rig. I was recently hired to play with a local party band that performs at corporate events and...

I just returned to the Kemper fold about a month ago. Bought a brand new Stage and loving it. I don't make profiles, so the original is just fine with me. It's great to see them introducing updated features. Fractal also releases several updated or "MK II" versions of their hardware. I don't see...

I tired a VH4 and Herbert about 15 years ago. Cool amps but just not my sound. I’m just not a modern amp guy. I think they are great but just not for me. That being said, I would like to try a Bigmax or the Paul someday.

I miss Scott! He was a great guy and knew his gear.

Another great plugin suite is STL Tones - AmpHub. I've been playing around with for the past couple of months and it sounds as good as anything out there but somehow flies under the radar. https://www.stltones.com/products/stl-amphub?srsltid=AfmBOorZ_eCoiQMKliN91i0N2No4gVKVNs30UXp72cuqWYpYKv0iTSdF

I recently purchased the Bad Boy plugin. It is really great if you're looking for a really good modded Marshall tone without having to tweak. ML Sound Lab makes some really good plugins as well. https://ml-sound-lab.com/

I recently joined a party band that performs at corporate gigs and weddings. They are all direct with no stage volume, with the exception of monitors. I am really excited about using the ASI 3DME in-ear monitor system I purchased...

I added myself to the waitlist for Amp X months ago. I couldn't wait any longer, so I grabbed a Kemper Stage a couple of weeks back. I am really happy with it (I owned a toaster for 7 years). I'm sure I will check out the Amp X when it finally releases. Blug makes great gear and it takes time to...

I'll work on something tonight and post it here.

I picked up the Bad Boy plugin. Sounds fantastic. I got lost in it for about 2 hours on Saturday playing through it.

I am a sucker for surf green! Congratulations!

I play this one every day

I'm deeply entrenched in the Tom Anderson builds but I have been following Curt and his Chubtone guitars for a few years now. High-quality, beautiful instruments that are closer to the Charvel custom shop builds without the long waits. If I was looking for a superstrat and wanted more of a...

If you love Charvel...I would definitely look into Chubtone.

I agree. I love Eddie. Always have and always will but I felt that as VH went on his leads became retreads of the older stuff or just stuck to his iconic licks. His rhythm is always what kept me listening. I sound and play nothing like him but he really got me to hone in on my rhythm playing.

Totally! Nothing against the amps. Just never jibed with my playing but others (like you) make them sound huge. That breakup tone you posted is great!

Wow, I love this clip! No offence intended but I never got along with Deizel amps. This sounds fantastic.

Hadn't thought about the Tonex pedal. I'll look at that too. I think the Friedman pedals sound great. Does the Tonex sound as good?

Looks great! Reminds me of the Ken Lawrence guitars. Good looking modern take on the Explorer.
