I'm the exact opposite on how I run amps. I almost always have an OD on to tighten my low end, plus options for verb and delay, sometimes chorus or wah. I'll throw in fuzz or dirt boxes when I play through my marshall because it's only dirty when it's loud. The only time I don't bother with a pedalboard is when playing doom with my Orange CR120H. Crank the gain, use the two button switch for built in verb and clean/dirty |

Now you have me thinking that my legato phrasing is also why I never have the reverb on an amp turned up past one or two on the dial. Anything more sounds slushy to me.
I like that shit tight and dry... |

Keep the mix lower than unity and you get no slush but some nice texture. But that involves a pedal It also works great on tremolo picked riffs. Verb will bury you in the mix. |

What does everyone think of PRS guitars? I got hands on with a PRS Silver Sky SE, the John Mayer guitar, and man did I like that thing. I don’t know how to feel about those plastic tuners, but everything else about it was very much to my liking. It’s even already set up with the floating bridge hardtailed, which is how I like it. But I don’t really know much about PRS.

I have an older (Korean) PRS SE 245 and it is excellent. Quality-wise, I'd rate it higher than my two Gibson's, but both are Juniors so they are supposed to be 'low-end".

I recall wanting a PRS back when I was in college - they were relatively new to the scene around the turn of the century. They always seemed well built and they were very pretty but I just never ended up buying one.
You wouldn't know from my current stable but I started out a Strat guy and the PRS seemed to be a nice halfway between that and a single cutaway like a LP. |

The MkII they just released has no rotary or Tremolo . Anyway, if you can find a nice used MKI they are great. Multiple modes for all the modulation as well. Did SXS compare with NUX's MG-30 modeler and the mods are better than what's in the MG-30, richer to my ears. |

I'd take an off-the-shelf Heritage over a Murphy any day of the week. I really don't understand this retarded "faux aging" fad amongst boomers with more money than chops.
Just go buy a guitar and play it until it looks beaten up. It only take a few years of practice, rehearsals, and gigging. |

I've owned a couple Heritage and A/B'd their expensive custom shop LPs with a litteral pallet full of Murpheys (my buddy goes to Gibson Nashville and picks them out for his stores, and sometimes there are enough they arrive on a pallet). One of my Heritage LPs (H150) was aged. But I don't give a shit about aging. Not all Murpheys are heavily or moderately aged. Some are lightly aged where you can hardly tell. Whatever kind of mojo Tom puts in his guitars, they are special. I've owned more than a hundred guitars and not even the best sounded/responded quite like a Murphey. The bigness of tone and excellent sustain, while maintaining note articulation/separation made me feel like Moses coming off Mt Sanai with grey hair and the 10 Commandments in the movie of the same name. It was almost like a religious experience. I've owned multiple excellent Gibson LP Heritage Custom Shop 60s Reissues that were very light and resonate. But they were no Murpheys. If you can relegate Murpheys to simply being overpriced, relic'd LPs that offer nothing above off-the-rack guitars, that tells me that you haven't played them, or your ear for tone isn't developed. All of my buddies who like me, have owned and played many guitars above the $5K (and even more of them under $5K)... feel the same about the Murphey LPs. They are special, and it has nothing to do with dings and scratches. The store owner has A/B'd them with actual 1959 and 1960 Gibson bursts. He says that the Murpheys nail the tone and vibe of those holy grail instruments. |
