I just got a Les Paul deluxe and put sd hot p90"s in itI’m good friends with Adam and have experience with pretty much the whole line. The Neutron at 18 watts gets plenty loud and is a great rock amp. Playing it wide open with hot pickups and the guitar volume rolled way back produces some of the best cleans I have heard, while opening everything up brings out an angry, unfiltered beast. Satellites can get pretty aggressive, but they are not made for metal. They do all shades of Rock and Roll splendidly though.
