My SB manual came with some Friedman recommended settings which I started from and then tweaked. ‘The Friedman sound’, or so it states. I think the BE sound is in the dna of these amps so these settings might be useful universally. Those settings are B8 M6/7 T5. It states the gain for 8. Some...

I recently shifted a few pieces of gear and landed a SmallBox combo. It’s amazing I love it. Stupidly powerful and impractical for a 40 year old dad in an apartment but whatever. The plexi channel is honestly one of the best sounds I’ve heard in an amp.

Purple Tortex or Wedge for me. 1.14. I tried the mini Jazz III back in the day but I find they promote a lot of thumb movement. I find I get a lot more control with the bigger picks.

Thanks y'all! And nice guitars! :thumbsup:

Thanks man! I feel kinda privileged. :thumbsup:

Not quite NGD, but only this weekend. Came into some money from a successful financial claim & thought i'd splash out. Initially bought a pink Mateus Asato Suhr but wasn't for me and switched it out for a TA. 2012 Hollow Drop Top in Maui Kazowie. Absolutely flawless condition, kept in...

Your comments on this forum are utterly bizarre.

Not talked about Blackmachine guitars for a couple of years. looks like Blackmachine are still taking orders for a new headless model using their stockpile of rare timber. http://www.blackmachine.net/vi.htm http://www.blackmachine.net/inprogress.htm

Strung Out are pretty technical & one of my favorite bands of all time.

I loved my VH4, but I rarely ran it dry & pretty much always had ancillary pedals in the mix. On it's own, the VH4 is pretty direct and dry. I can see how someone might be underwhelmed by it on first impressions. I think that's its best characteristic though, in that it's got a tonne of...

I've owned two VH4. I blew the main power fuse on both amps within a couple of minutes of turning them on. These things can happen, even with amazing amps like these. I miss my VH4 :(

Amazing guitar. Would bang.

I think this gives a decent rundown of the amp. Class A/B. It's a massively different beast to the Herbert in power output, voicing & features. It seems to be more a classic rock amp with a bit of extra gain on tap if you need it and with a sweet clean channel like the Schmidt. I've owned a...

Anyone know how does the Suhr SL68 compare to the 68 plexi?

Sorry. Should have read as well as looking at the pictures.
