Lot of people think OD2 is too dark and compressed. I like OD1 with a pedal - not really for more gain but for toneshaping.

Normally no but then I don't like delay effects. On the SV20 I have a little black box in the loop so I can actually use it at home.

Have you tried it on high power and low power?

I like the GT mullard replicas everywhere. In my experience not the most reliable -I've killed 3 so far - but nothing else gives my amps that mojo. Thick and crunchy.

I don't feel I need anything but.....

Pyramid nickel classics. Although the PRS ones sound like similar design.

👏

Yep. Crunch with a pedal for me.

I've decidedcI just don't care anymore.

If you plug the f/s in and change to classic then unplug the f/s what happens?

It's true that a 40CR is more compressed-sounding than a lot of amps but that's partly what makes it work well at low volumes. There's enough adjustment to keep it to a minimum. If you avoid the red channel.....

40CR. No question.

It's true that you can get great tones at bedroom volumes with the 40 but there's definitely some extra mojo once the volume gets to 6-7. Quite possibly the 100 is the same - dunno.

A while back it was all the rage to put a nylon nut on LPs because 'bursts came with them. So I did. You can't get 6/6 nylon anymore - one of the components was a carcinogen and was banned. I think what I used was 6/8 which is the modern equivalent. I just got a sample piece from a plastics...

Ronnie Scotts is tiny. My SV on 5 watts would be plenty. My uncle used to be the de facto house drummer there....

Something I've noticed in life is that the true geniuses are usually humble - it's the wannabes that gob off all the time. On the subject of his playing if there is a secret secret to being a great player as I've long suspected it's the amount of attention lavished on each note that makes the...

I suddenly regret my post above. When I saw him ( not 25 miles from his house) he had the 2 DSLs, a couple of rats and some kind of delay. I'm sure he could've had any amp he wanted. Anyway he sounded exactly like Jeff Beck. I also read an article by his tech for that series of concerts who said...

Still surfing the alnico goodness wave🙌 nothing else will do now....

Did a proper check and it wasn't the preamp it was a power tube - also a groove tube. Took it out and it was rattling. Put another one in and the crackling stopped. Weird thing is I liked the sound of the dead one.....

Prob had mine biased @ 35 - 37. Maybe that was too hot. - shrug-
