I've been stuck with a [previously top-of-the-range digital amplifier] for a year and a half, and now I long once again for analog goodness.
An amp of this quality and renown will actually increase in value as the years go by, so in addition to being a wonderful musical instrument, it's a good liquid asset!
all knobs on 5, , or 1/2 way , and use your guitar volume to get your sounds . work back wards from there, if you use a single p90 guitar and no fx , that could be done quickly. ...these amps are set and forget, sound good no matter what (pretty much).
Cool :)... If you get it, be sure to put up some videos of it. I would love to see the EQ explored in a video - even the settings that do not sound very appealing, if there are any. And with the boost and so on.
Lovely sound though I would have liked to see the guitar and know what it was set to as well. I just got an all gold PRS McCarty Soapbar (partly due to the amazing tone I heard on these vids) and I know just how responsive the guitar is. Did you record that in the middle pickup position (seemed too quite not to be)? Where were the tone + volume set at?
best tone on youtube, hands down.

To hear this thing in a live band situation look up flathead gang. It's awesome!

how much was the amp?

The whole sample was recorded on the bridge pickup.
The volume and tone were both at 10 (maxed out).
How are you liking the Soapbar?
McSoappy 4 years ago
Loving the Soapbar. How would you compare the amp to the Orange Rockerverb, if you have had the chance to hear one of those?
