    Amps that sound unique

    Dr Z CAZ-45 Also, nothing has a midrange like my Landry.

    Calling Landry amp users

    Yes. There was the LS100G3 and then the 50 watt version (same chassis and layout). The LS30 is the same circuit but small form factor and a 30 watt power section.

    Calling Landry amp users

    I made a quick clip of my LS100G3 through my PS2 into the Axe FX for a Friedman GB cab sim with a ribbon mic. Not my greatest playing but I was making it up to demo the amp :) Note the reverb is the Axe FX not the amp. The reverb on the versions with the spring reverb isn't that great (even...

    Calling Landry amp users

    I have an LS100G3 from 2016 and continue to find new sounds in it. I don't have experience with Wizards other than clips, but my sense is that the Wizard will be more "glassy" while the Landry will have a more liquid tone and feel to it, like a Mesa Mark series (but without the Mesa EQ). Based...

    Finally have a proper desk setup after years of "making it work."

    Been a while since I posted, but wanted to share since I'm quite happy with this setup! So, having moved to California two years ago and running into the challenges of not having much space for, well, anything, I finally got around to getting myself a proper recording desk with rack space. I'd...

    Just pulled out the KSR Gemini after months ignoring it... wow!

    I think the only change I would make to the amp is have multiple values available for the bright switch on the lead channel. It reminds me of B2 on the Ecstasy, which cuts well and adds a ton of aggression, but can be a bit ice-picky. Sometimes I feel like I want a bright that’s in between off...

    Just pulled out the KSR Gemini after months ignoring it... wow!

    I've had my Gemini since 2021 (incidentally, the one Joe Satriani used to own, and I believe used on his Shapeshifter album if the "Gear Thanks" in the album book means anything), and when I first got it I wasn't finding myself getting along--probably because I've mostly been in the Marshall...

    Do you think modelers will get there in the next 10 years?

    Figured I'd chime in with my experience. I've been playing electric for about 20 years now, and tube amps for just as long (started with a used Peavey Ultra 212 I got for like $300 on eBay around 2002 -- what a beast!). I've had most of the modelers starting with the Line 6 POD, which was cool...

    Do you think modelers will get there in the next 10 years?

    Kemper does. Technically, Line6 does with their amp offerings. There may be others, but those are the ones that come to mind.

    Similar to the SLO but...

    I'm definitely loving mine. The stock and blue modes on the gain channel are fantastic, chunky SLO-ish goodness. Smooth yet ripping at the same time. Palm mutes are tons of fun. I initially got turned on after the latest Axe FX 3 updates, the SLO models are stupid good in there now and got me...

    Similar to the SLO but...

    KSR Gemini or Colossus. Kyle started out building SLO clones and it shows in his amps. They're a little less hairy than a SLO, but still have that chunky goodness that makes your guitar sound huge. Kind of like if a SLO had more Mark series midrange and smoothness to my ears. A lot more...

    KSR vs REVV Vs OMEGA

    Electricians: help me out here...

    ...So, I recently moved into a new apartment and have been getting shocked when playing guitar. Not when I'm just wailing, but rather when I complete an electrical circuit by touching the metal switch chain of my overhead light, or any exposed metal on my heat radiators (it's an old building)...

    50W PWE Event Horizon on the way!

    Any PWE love here? :thumbsup: Edit: changed the title since I guess the EH2 is going to be new compared to the original EH? Am I wrong? Seems there is a lot of fuzzy info about PWE amps these days...

    Thoughts on the new Periphery album?

    http://www.blabbermouth.net/news.aspx?mode=Article&newsitemID=176041 Listening to it now... what I find interesting are the guest appearances of none other than Guthrie Govan and John Petrucci.

    New Eleven Rack - DC 30 and Ampeg SVT diddy

    So I decided to put together a solo project just to see if I could pull it off. I picked up an 11R + ERXP on Friday along with a used Ibanez ErgoDyne bass (the wood version, not Luthite). So far I'm really digging it. I'm not prepared to do a full review, but I'm definitely going to keep it...

    New apartment hum, is this EMI or a ground loop?

    So I have my new music room put together, but I've noticed a significant amount of hum that wasn't at my old apartment. I'm not really sure if it's EMI or if it's a ground loop. Obviously it's worse with gain. Basically, everything audio is silent until I turn up the volume on my guitar...

    New Axe FX Standard on the way!

    I think I sniped the only one to get posted to the online store today. I'm stoked even though there are rumors of new hardware being released soon (check out the Fractal forum Countdown thread for all the crazy speculation). :rock: :thumbsup: :rock: :thumbsup: :rock: :D On a side note...

    Pod HD500 Dr Z through RedWirez clip

    With Ed's last backing track (also posted in the January jam thread, but I figured a separate thread highlighting the HD500 might interest some folks). The playing is shaky since I just had a ganglion cyst in my strumming wrist drained a couple weeks ago, and it's been a while since I had a...
