They are quite well made with nitro finish and brand parts. I wouldn’t pay new price but I think they are pretty good buy if you can find one used.

I've been looking into a semihollow for a while. But every time I looked into a Gibson 335 I just go "HOW MUCH they want for a plywood guitar?" and end up with another Les Paul instead. I was looking at a new Epiphone Lucille but realized that I can get an used Eastman T486 around that price...

I like my Gibsons.

Destroy Erase Improve and Chaosphere were recorded with boosted Rectos before anything fancy was on the market. "Tight" became the last thing I look for in an amp after I realized I can just put a parametric EQ in front...

Isn't the "Meshuggah thing" more about the boost than the actual amps?

I had one years ago and it was good, definitely in the Savage/Blackmore family. And it cost about the same used as a Synergy Engl module. I have a SYN1 but I'd totally own a E530 again instead buying a Synergy Engl module.

If your LP is on the heavier side weight-wise then get something that's slightly scooped to counter the excessive lower-mids.

I have an older Korean one. Very well made guitars. Metal hardwares on these have a tendency to rust after a few years though.

Same here, might just pick up another used H9 and run it together with my first one lol.

Mike should've pocketed his acquisition money and retired for good instead of being a shill for Avi Elkiss. Doubt the little SS amp and the pedal has much to do with him design-wise.

'79 Silverburst '90 Ebony '19 1955 Black Beauty Reissue

Haven't played the TC but a real HM2 does that too. There's a lot of studio magic in the Entombed tone. The core element is in the pedal for sure but don't expect to get that tone instantly with just the pedal and whatever amp.

Congrats! That's very clean looking one for sure. Here's a '79 Silverburst I picked up before Gibson decided to make a $10k reissue of it (and subsequently drove the price of the original up).

I think it's their previous demographic getting older and have more money now lol.

They have nothing to do with Marshall apart from using EL34 though.

That's the best thing you could do actually.

Hipshot

What I found over the years is that stage volume probably play a part in the overall sound in small pubs a lot more than the sound guys like to admit. Most cab-less bands I saw in small pubs sound hollow and have this void in the middle of the sound stage. Not much of an issue in bigger venues...

Salvation Camerock for me.

They are mostly modded Jet City. Probably not very close to actual Orange/Matamp's, but it's in the tonal/gain ballpark where all these Matamp guys end up with their pedals haha.
