He’s not my favorite song writer, but really is a standout live performer who brings out some really stellar musicians on tour. I’ve seen him live a few times & it’s always been a great show.

I bought my Mark III for $600, which wasn’t unheard of back then.

You should get both & tell us all how they compare!

I’d really love to try all 3 side by side. The IR-X goes pretty heavy with the aggressive upper mids, which I like but also wish could be tamed down a bit. For what I want out of it though, it’ll work.

I’ve kinda settled on the Friedman IR-X as my small format backup solution. It’s a bit of a one trick pony, but I could get through a gig with it in a pinch. It’s also decent for recording direct.

I’m glad we have both. Nearly half my amp collection is 25w or less these days, which is great for every day home playing. The rest are 50-100w, because they’re stupid & glorious.

Sounds like I need to make a trip back down there.

I agree with most of what he said, though most of it is pretty common knowledge these days. Years ago I really fought with lower tunings, to the point that I just came to avoid them. You really have to treat them like a different animal & shift your expectations. It also helps that there are a...

For my liking, if you want to go down that rabbit hole, it’s best to have a decent collection of all the classics. Tubescreamer, Klon, Rat, Bluesbreaker, fuzz, ODR, Bluesdriver, etc. or whatever modern iteration of those you like, there are tons of great ones now. Choose 2-3 that play well...

No joke, I bought that on vinyl from a yard sale as a gag. Listened to it sometime later & couldn’t believe how much I enjoyed it.

I accepted a long time ago, that most people who ask my opinion on anything guitar-related have no intention of putting said knowledge to use. Sounds like she needs to find a teacher who has long nails & can show her how to play with them.

He sounds just as good live, if you ever get a chance to see him.

I bought mine new around 2004 & haven’t had issues with it.
