Steve doesn't hang out on the forums much at all anymore. I believe he stopped building them a couple of years back. I'm not sure if it was ever intended to be a long-term project. He was talented and his amps sounded great!

I think it sounds great! I don't think it sounds any better than many other Marshall/Jose variants out there. I doubt I will ever own a Friedman amp. Cool amps but just not my thing. However, the one amp that intrigues me is the Friedman Plex. Side note, I like Michael. I interacted with him...

3rd Power makes some great Marshall variants. I have the Kitchen Sink and I get great Marshall-esque tones. The gain channel was based more on a Plexi circuit but it behaves in a way like a Swiss Army knife for Marshall tones. Try one out if you can.

Man, they were so raw and heavy for that period. We Die Young sounds awesome here!

I am in both camps. I prefer to use my tube rig (3rd Power Kitchen Sink combo and a basic pedalboard). In my main band, I still use my tube rig as our regular venues allow for it. I love this rig. I was recently hired to play with a local party band that performs at corporate events and...

I just returned to the Kemper fold about a month ago. Bought a brand new Stage and loving it. I don't make profiles, so the original is just fine with me. It's great to see them introducing updated features. Fractal also releases several updated or "MK II" versions of their hardware. I don't see...

I tired a VH4 and Herbert about 15 years ago. Cool amps but just not my sound. I’m just not a modern amp guy. I think they are great but just not for me. That being said, I would like to try a Bigmax or the Paul someday.

I miss Scott! He was a great guy and knew his gear.

Another great plugin suite is STL Tones - AmpHub. I've been playing around with for the past couple of months and it sounds as good as anything out there but somehow flies under the radar. https://www.stltones.com/products/stl-amphub?srsltid=AfmBOorZ_eCoiQMKliN91i0N2No4gVKVNs30UXp72cuqWYpYKv0iTSdF

I recently purchased the Bad Boy plugin. It is really great if you're looking for a really good modded Marshall tone without having to tweak. ML Sound Lab makes some really good plugins as well. https://ml-sound-lab.com/

I recently joined a party band that performs at corporate gigs and weddings. They are all direct with no stage volume, with the exception of monitors. I am really excited about using the ASI 3DME in-ear monitor system I purchased...

I added myself to the waitlist for Amp X months ago. I couldn't wait any longer, so I grabbed a Kemper Stage a couple of weeks back. I am really happy with it (I owned a toaster for 7 years). I'm sure I will check out the Amp X when it finally releases. Blug makes great gear and it takes time to...

I'll work on something tonight and post it here.

I picked up the Bad Boy plugin. Sounds fantastic. I got lost in it for about 2 hours on Saturday playing through it.

Sweep picking

I am a sucker for surf green! Congratulations!

I play this one every day

I'm deeply entrenched in the Tom Anderson builds but I have been following Curt and his Chubtone guitars for a few years now. High-quality, beautiful instruments that are closer to the Charvel custom shop builds without the long waits. If I was looking for a superstrat and wanted more of a...

If you love Charvel...I would definitely look into Chubtone.

I agree. I love Eddie. Always have and always will but I felt that as VH went on his leads became retreads of the older stuff or just stuck to his iconic licks. His rhythm is always what kept me listening. I sound and play nothing like him but he really got me to hone in on my rhythm playing.
