Considering buying a Landry LS100 G3 and asking for input

[rpurdue]

In my experience the G3 is great sounding amp, but it definitely lacked in the low end. It had enough at low to low/mid volumes, but when turned up toward band volumes, the bottom end couldn't keep up with the volume, making the amp sound smallish and less full. The core tone is amazing, but it could definitely use a resonance control.

I just updated my G3 made in Oct 2015 to the latest revision. It's a very simple change that adds a lot of low end but stays tight. It's a very substantial change. With this change it compares to the Wizard MC2 i've had in bottom and punch. Check it out!

Sweet! I'm hoping mine will be shipping to me by the end of this week! What speakers have you used and do you prefer with your G3? Is it still good at lower volumes after the update?

Hey! I'm using a Dr Z Zbest cab with a V30 and a G12H30. That cab sounds awesome with every amp i've tried it with. Yes, the master works awesome before and after the update. I've had a lot of boutique M style amps and the G3 is special in my opinion.

Awesome! Thanks for the input! I cannot freaking wait to get my G3! I'm gonna try it with my Scumback M75-PVC 65 watts, Scumback BM75 65 watts, Made in UK greenback reissues from the 1990''s, Hellatone 30's, and WGS retro 30s.

I've tried mine with my Z-best, an EVH 412 with the EVH GB's, and another 212 i have with WGS veteran and invader. Honestly, the amp sounds awesome with any cab i plug it in to. The EQ is very sensitive, and small turns make quite a difference. But that being said, it's not like the Rivera Bonehead i had where there's such a broad range that it's really easy to make it sound terrible. I'm interested to hear your thoughts on it when you get it!

I am definitely curious to hear your thoughts on the G3 as well as yours will be the most current incarnation of the head with all of the latest tweaks. I would definitely like to know how interactive it is with the guitar volume knob for cleanup. There are quite a few amps that will clean up decent, but I am wondering if the G3 cleans up and retains the highs when rolled back rather than getting darker or muddy. Will it retain the chime and high end and really get cleaned up with the knob from a pretty dirty setting?

Also wondering how the G3 does with harmonic overtones when just starting to go into feedback. Some amps really go into nice even harmonic overtones when the note just starts transitioning to feedback. I really like those even harmonic overtones that fall into a 4th or 6th overtones, which are the ones that are the higher pitched overtones over the original note that sound nice.

rpurdue and chasintonez:

Thank you both. I will definitely start a new post to discuss this with everyone and probably ask some questions from others with Landry amps when I get it. I just found out it shipped today, so it'll be here soon! I spoke with Bill again today. I know I've probably driven the man half nuts with questions and conversations about his amp and other amps as well. The poor guy earned his money with me! lol. I can't say enough good things about how great he is to talk to and deal with. He's just so honest and helpful and straightforward. He's as straight up as they come and not trying to push a sale or color anything or put down any other amps or builders. Everything about the guy just screams that he just wants to build a damn good amp that he is proud of and that his customers are happy with. He is absolutely a class act!
