Personally I found something slightly scooped works fairly well. Since 24.75" scale + thick body + low tuning adds up a lot of lower mids which can get congested pretty quickly. I liked the BKP Impulse for this application but I'd imagine something like SH-5 could work too.

What are you looking for exactly? Less brightness? More mids? The Impulse is pretty neutral sounding so it might just amplify what you don't like about the guitar.

Just spent 6 days in Tokyo. Went to 4 concerts and 1 fest so only got to check out Ochanomizu a little bit this time. Shops in Tokyo open around noon yet gigs often start at 5/6pm which leaves me not much time shopping. Scored some nice shirts and jeans though.

I had a HR50+ and SLO100 at the same time, it was 85% there at less than half of the price. Eventide stuff should be fine in old Soldano loops since they can take line level. However since the loop is pre-tonestack it can still be a bit dirty.

I remember seeing Old Man Gloom in 2013 and Aaron Turner's tone was devastating. He brought a GP3 on tour and was running it into the fx return of rental backline. I just had to get one. Got a 2/90/2 to pair with it later. Also bought a CL100 in recent years.

For studios the amps probably need to be easy to maintain/repair. Some of the modern amps with too many features won't be very easy to fix. Also with enough studio magic they can probably match most of the tones with older amps. Probably not very hard to make a 5150 to sound like KSR/Driftwood...

I'd assume they dropped the plate voltage on these 6L6's to have to run at 30w? Which would explain the flubbiness.

Borrowed one from a friend for a while, can be killer with the right boost.

RIP. He was also the owner of Schecter.

Yeah but they haven't made a good album since like 2003? While not that great, the new song sounds better than what I've heard from the last few albums lol.

ESP and Schecter are owned by the same dude.

Sounding great. I hope they do more 90's stuff and leave the 70's material alone though, not the biggest fan on Tim's interpretation on these.
