It's a journey. That probably will never end and always feel like it's miles away from perfection.

I have both. It is a bit lighter but not crazy lighter. At least my model. But my Gretsch Hollowbody with Staple P90's is super duper light at only 5.9lbs and sounds just as good imo.

@@joegoliver3 i call my les paul my lap organ. love the sustain but....

I appreciate it

Hmm. I never heard that one before. I think I look more like Beck than Bela Fleck. Lol.

I can dig it. That's pretty accurate actually.

Thanks

I'm not familiar. I'll have to check it out. Always looking for new stuff.

You know they use to use slide tunings, but if you watch them live on more recent versions they play it like this in standard tuning. Which sounds a bit different honestly, but it's all pretty close imo.

@@joegoliver3 Yeah i was only pullin' your leg

It does hate pedals with more than a touch of gain. I only find low gain pedals to work well with it. The Timmy, Zen Drive, and Joyo Sweet Baby Overdrive all work great if you just add a tiny bit of gain and almost set the pedal like a clean boost almost. That's just how low wattage amps are though. They lack headroom and fall apart when pushed wrong. I was not a big Greenback fan with this amp either. Was very sterile imo. I went with a Blue Dog Alnico from Weber and it was great. But any decent Alnico speaker will yield pretty convincing Vox tones. This amp for me I set the volume to about 75% and the gain to a little less than half. The EQ I set as treble at just under half and bass just over half way on the knob. I always use the bright setting personally. But speaker cab and speaker choice can make or break any low wattage amp. I definitely think it does better with an open back cab..

Some vintage ones pulled from a Hammond organ. It was a while back, but I wanna say one was a 12au7 and then two 12ax7's. The stock tubes caused this weird ghost note that drove me crazy.
