My volume is probably at around 3:00. That amp has a LOT of headroom. I play at least 1 gig a week where I can get away with that much power, though... so I do get to crank it and push it hot from time to time. It's heavenly.
@SharkBite43 does this mean that it only has enough headroom for bedroom use ? im thinking of buying this amp, for mainly gig use. and i want to make sure it will have enough headroom and volume for a small sized venue (any bigger and would likely be miced up, but not always the case !). so will i be able to have it at gig volume level (pretty darn loud), and not break up ? as i use a pedalboard for anything else. thanks !
Yeah, they really are. More scooped midrange, glassier, and quackier. For lack of a better word, they're a bit brighter. The stock pickups are good too though.
Man that's a nice combo I think you really nailed those mayer licks from his version of lenny/man on the side. I wonder if it's more the amp or the pickups?
Thanks! A good clean Fender amp set up right and a good Strat set up right will get you close. After that it's all shades of gray for the last few percent. My Mayer Strat gets a little closer though. Fingers and technique play a big part - his attack and mind must be similar, because that's where so much of it comes from.

Nice playing man, are those cs 69's much different from the stock pickups?

Great tone, and you're really copping the 60's Strat sound in spades!
Playing is top notch!
