Not a Suhr, but I gigged a Port City 2x12 for years and I always felt it was light for its size. They sink a Marshall style side handle in the top so it's really easy to carry with one hand.
I put a pair of Neo cream backs in it and it was ridiculously light. The Neos can be raspy, but I use...
That’s what we do, modelers direct to pa and iems plus cabs for some stage volume.
Having cabs really fills out the sound and brings back the sustain/feedback. And iems are so nice once you adjust to them.
I normally run my 170 with an 8 ohm 2x12 which is plenty loud for me. I did have a chance to test it with a friends 4ohm 2x12 but didn’t really notice any change in tone or volume.
In a discussion about the plex, John replied on TGP that both master designs were basically similar. (See below)
Yes, basically it is causing the phase inverter to distort very similar to the power tubes. Dave and I are basically doing the same thing, it really works nicely and IMO negates the...
I compared an 8 ohm cab to a 4 ohm cab (both 2x12s with GBs) with my fm3/ps170 and didn’t really notice any different running my rig at normal gig volume.
I tried the aged Mojotone BV and didn't like them at all, they sounded really raspy to me...but I bought them used, so who knows maybe there was an issue.
Out of all the gb speakers I've tried, I prefer the Scumback M75s by far but I generally play bright plexi-style amps. Buy once, cry once.
Great job! I'm about to redo a slant 2x12 and now you've got me debating check cloth.
Actually, I'm really debating doing Duratex paint vs tolex...my cab is a 100% live in the garage or gig cab, so might try the simpler Duratex.
Sounds great, especially the latest clip!
Does the lion do that variac’d plexi vowel sound when you slam a power chord and it’s starving for juice?
I have an FM3 and Sl67 rig and that’s really the only element I miss between the modeler vs the real thing.
I’m debating one of these fenders or trying the Celestion f12 frlr speakers.
I run my fm3 into a ps170/2x12 but figure one of these frfr style cabs could be a fun alternative to play with some non-Marshall tones. I also could run stereo using one “real” cab and the fender or Celestion with...
Great guitars, I’ve had a bunch. I bought a new DGT in 2011 that’s fantastic, I’ll never sell it.
Although except for the DGT, I’ve never been a fan of their pickups. To be fair, I haven’t tried a new one in awhile.
They all sound pretty good these days, you just need to figure out your budget and what features you need. Used FM3's are pretty inexpensive for what you get but if you're looking for cheap I'd be looking at a Pod go or a UA Lion to use with your existing effects.
If you're ok with zero...
I’ve been looking as well…since I’ve mainly played electric, I’m intrigued by the newer Martin sc series. Supposedly very easy to play.
The new Fender Highway acoustics also look interesting.
I gigging rig is an FM3-Powerstage170-2x12 cab for stage volume, then also feed FOH direct from the FM3. Sounds awesome and I don't miss my amps at all.
My last amp was a Friedman Marsha I played for about 12 years. Before that...an Ecstasy, Quickrod, Mark IV, Mark III, 5150, JCM800 and...
My first guitar in grade school was a Harmony special from Sears that was barely a real guitar…finally after a year of suffering, my folks conceded I wasn’t going to quit and surprised me with this Westone Monark they found at a local shop.
I always thought it was fugly, but oh well it played a...
