Thanks for the feedback, I'll check it out in person this weekend.

Yeah that sucks but owner claims he's had it for 35 years, who knows. Levant looks wrong too, rough looking.

Thanks - yeah I actually did post over there. I'm a player, so if it sounds good it is good, but always nice to know what you're getting for you money. Asking $2650 USD.

Hi guys, Spotted this Super Lead locally - looks rough but thought it might be a cool project. Your thoughts on the good, bad and ugly? Will probably go have a look this weekend, what transformers codes and markings am I looking for? Thanks.

Yep once you get deep into recording it's a whole new rabbit hole of fun gear. The BAE stuff is fucking killer, with the price tag to match. I sold all my Neve gear years ago and the BAE is the closest for sure. A more budget option that actually sounds great is this...

Great thread. I prefer the Heritage G12M over the regular one, but ymmv.

Yep. Pretty nice acoustics but not Martin level in terms of tone. Workmanship is very solid and reliable though, it's probably the woods - they use a lot of local materials.

Best to base your opinion on playing it in person. As I'm sure you've found, clips of the same amp range from terrible to awesome. The skill of the content creator is the biggest variable here - being a good player or popular youtuber doesn't make you a good recording engineer.

No don't know those guys, I'll have to check them out!

Amps - Achillies, Lucas Miles, Ulbrick, Reynolds, Barret, Barwatt, Valvetone, Ledford. Gtrs - Cillia, Crossley, Grubisa, Mallia, Ormsby, Gilet, Fenech, Clingan. I'm not a pedal guy... Probably not much that would interested the crowd here - lots of tweed clones, strats/tele etc, quite...

I'm not sure I understand the volume pedal in the loop concept. How is this different than turning down the master vol? And a good attenuator can sound great if you don't get fooled by the sudden drop in SPL as 'tone suck'.

I hate that he gives Aussie builders a bad name - he's the only local company I've heard of that regularly treats customers poorly. There's a small but growing pedal, guitar and amp scene here and MI is a sore exception to the great work going on.

Had no issues with JJ's and EH. Not much of difference unless you're recording clips and quickly switching between... and then the difference is noticeable but small.

For some players, less low end and more midrange is a huge difference... so for them tubes matter. You don't seem to be one of them - that's cool. Be a pretty boring forum if we all shared the same exact opinions!

Yep.

Timmy for 2203, GE7 for Jube.

No need for criticism, it sounds great! The tone is not exact, but it never is - some many variables. Chasing a recorded tone is a rabbit hole that never ends. Yours is a little more aggressive in the upper mids, but who cares it sounds rockin'.

My only experience with Voodoo was an already modded JCM2000 I bought off ebay. My stock model sounded better, go figure. Hope this works out ok for you mate.

Agreed, the differences are generally pretty subtle. I've found adjusting pickup height a bigger influencer, unless you're replacing a faulty tube of course.

Your amp needs to be insanely loud before the power tubes distort, so unless you're playing a plexi on 10 this is a non-issue.
