Controversial gear opinions…….lets hear them.

[stratjacket]

The original version of anything is better than whatever that came after, especially that newest version

The rare version the company made for a small period (because it probably wasn’t good) that is the hardest to find is the best version

Right… & if it is legit I would imagine the deposits are being spent elsewhere rather than being used to float the next project or expedite the process. Couldn’t imagine someone keeping a hard on for that long, & the end results outweighing the wait time. To each their own tho. I’m sure someone out there has convinced themselves otherwise. Then again maybe these things really are Grail status.

People defnitely lose the hard on, and their amp and money as well.

Modelers can sound exactly like a tube amp...

Digital gear is for men who had their tubes tied.

If you have to boost, then you have the wrong amp.

I think this is pretty accurate if talking about "high gain" amps out there.

Here's mine:

-no one can tell if you're using Fender noiseless or regular Fender singles in a show

Surprisingly I’ve never really liked running a boost either, but for some reason a rectifier like NEEDS one or else it won’t get off its tubby ass..

Surprisingly I’ve never really liked running in boots either, but for some reason a rectifier like NEEDS them or else it won’t get off its tubby ass..

Pretty much why Carlos Santana came out with his own line of footwear, he's a big MESA guy.

Ts+5150+V30 cab=most overrated/boring tone

I kinda agree there. I find the 5150 series kinda boring amps. I do like good examples of the V30, and I dig the tube screamer in front of some amps though.

I agree, there a lot of amps that NEED a boost though, to get any kinda tight metal tone.

see what you’ve done to me.. done triggered my dyslexia.. those are btw

 

[hellzington]

The most important things to your tone are not sexy:

- Your pick choice
- Your string choice
- Your playing technique
- Your guitar’s volume and tone controls

I should be getting a free PRS Santana model for all the advertising I've done here. Or at least a sweet pair of boost.

Crystal lattices are not fragile, but in fact, are quite robust.

 

[Shreddy Mercury]

Here’s some of mine

The EVH line of amps are WAY overrated

All Celestion Creamback iterations suck

Dimarzio’s are worthless unless you are trying to fix a crap sounding guitar.

If you have to boost, then you have the wrong amp.

RFT 12ax7’s are garbage

Modulation always goes in front of amp

OG 5150 is the pinnacle of metal tone

Pick choice has more effect than preamp tubes

DiMarzios are worthless?!?! Boy, them's fightin' words! In fact, meet me at the flagpole after school!

 

[riffsfordaze]

A little thickness in the thighs saves lives

Loud amps too

Marshall Silver Jubilee is one of the best amps ever made.

The Marshall Vintage Modern is misunderstood and very underrated.

The Mesa Badlander is really really good as well, records much better than a traditional rectifier.
