Just played Staples Center with DLR - amazing night!

Whatcha playing through?

Suhr SL68

That's the amp Guy Hedrick designed/built while he was with Suhr, is it not?

No Pete Thorn asked John Suhr about a '68 Marshall and John said "Ill build you one" SL68 was born, Pete has SN 001...

There was no Guy Hendrick involved it was all John Suhr! John had tweaked a Marshall for me which was based on EVH’s Marshall, John showed me how to run it with the variac and a load box Pete was there and heard it when I was picking it up and he wanted an amp like this so then John started the SL 68 model. By the way Pete Thorn was the one who recommended me for an audition for the DLR band! Pete was asked to audition but was already committed to a tour and was unavailable to commit to any Roth show dates so I totally lucked out! Right place at the right time I guess?

...very cool story, thanks for sharing it!

...and just like that, demand for the SL68 Shur went way up.

And honestly the SL68 only has 3 component changes from a normal '68spec amp PLUS the built in Variac which can be added as well..Its cool they have separate bias adjustments for both modes, my 1987XL is modded to the SL67/SL68 specs..

Purchasing the same amp as "joe rocker" will make them sound better, of course.
