    Lighter Gibson Les Paul?

    Well, I was an engineer once upon a time. So I'd be inclined to look at the whole picture (person & instrument) and evaluate it as a single system. Seems to me, as the most basic observation, that a person is symmetrically 'designed' and a guitar is not. The fact that we (or I'd assume almost...

    Lighter Gibson Les Paul?

    This is a great point. I'm not saying we're all dumb. Rather, if it was such a dramatic difference, it'd be universally accepted as common sense, like "that summer when I ate McDonalds all the time I gained 20 lbs." And everyone else says either "me too" or "duh". I think there are traits of...

    Lighter Gibson Les Paul?

    I've been learning that, when I start to become aware that I'm standing any particular way, that's the 2-minute warning. I'll shift all over the place to get one more song out. Then back to the ice.

    Lighter Gibson Les Paul?

    I hear you, pal. First, the purist side of me might have said something like: not mahogany or channeling the body: kinda defeats the purpose of a Les Paul. Sometimes a thing aint what it is. Then I might have said: maybe you really need an ES or 339? Then I hurt my back. I've been fighting...

    Dsl5c(wc) + Aux + Mp3-player With Speaker (no Headphone)

    I know this is "answering the question without answering the question". Honestly, between this kind of application, working with loopers, etc., I was never satisfied by feeding everything through the same amp. I felt like I got more unwanted breakup of the side track(s), and that all the extra...

    Sit Tight Or Go On The Hunt: Marshall Upgrade?

    Lots of nice stuff already to think about... I'd forgotten about that one. Thanks for the reminder! I'll need to do some more poking around in that direction. This has been my running assumption: looking at the 410 (or the JS variation), I just kind of assume that, even with minimal circuit...

    Dsl40c

    I sometimes do something like this. What I do is use my DSL as my instrument input and preamp stages for both. In the effects loop for the DSL, I have a couple of stereo effects pedal (reverb and chorus). I then take two outputs from the last stereo effect in the loop chain and send one back to...

    Sit Tight Or Go On The Hunt: Marshall Upgrade?

    [Preface: I know i use words like better, etc. sometimes, and this is all subjective, but I'm ok with the benefit of anyone's experience, regardless of the context. Also, sorry for being long-winded.] So my main amp right now is a DSL40C. I've re-tubed, but made no circuit mods. I've swapped...

    Cutting Through The Marketing Speak

    So I've been playing a DSL for a long while now--and I enjoy it--but now I'm looking at upgrading to a JVM head. This isn't a small investment for me, so I thought I'd ask the community how they could characterize the broad lines that are in production now. I'm looking for must avoids, good/poor...

    Small Amps I Tried

    I'm not looking right now. Happy with what I have. I did try Blackstar HT 20 at one point, but found the overdrive to be muddy and the amp to be very bass-y overall. Just my take.

    Small Amps I Tried

    Yes, Bassbreaker. I neglected to say that I think that the tones that it produces are really great. It's just that, for me, I'm not going to collect small amp heads, so a small amp needs to have some crystal cleans and some nice break-up. I thought the Bassbreaker has an excellent tone, but just...

    Small Amps I Tried

    I don't have it anymore, but for me, the trick to the DSL15x is that it wasn't satisfying as a dual channel amp, but given the right cab I could retube it to either get a good clean-crunch range or a hearty overdrive distortion that wasn't obnoxious--just not both. As for the small amp...

    Dsl15 Sounds Better Than Jubilee And Jcm 800?

    Most talk about tone and musicality. What are the measures for those? I don't care how it's constructed as much as how it sounds.

    Dsl15 Sounds Better Than Jubilee And Jcm 800?

    Does a Ferrari outclass a Prius? What's your measure, speed or fuel efficiency?

    Dsl15 Sounds Better Than Jubilee And Jcm 800?

    Let's make this simple, since that's what you can handle... By what measure? Provide an objective measure, otherwise admit it is what it is: opinions and different experience.

    Chibson.....les Paul Copies...be Careful

    Of course Kris is an American artisan luthier and treasure, and seeks only the recognition of the artist. He certainly isn't some foreign factory worker getting a nickel an hour at the expense of valiant American workers and historic instrument companies.
