I agree with you about the SYN-1 vs SYN-2 dynamic range. The 2 is more dynamic with the volume and I there is more headroom . The SYN-1 compresses quite quickly.

Congrats!! These amps are sleepers IMHO. They're a great Marshall for the price and also great mod platforms.

yeah, this morning I was listening to the clips Gus G made and it sounds really good. I had just returned the Tonex pedal 2 weeks ago and now I am thinking I am going to buy another one :lol: I will probably just get the small version this time though. Your clip sounds great too, well done :thu: Th...

In that regard, I think tube manufactures are adapting to compete with modelling. They're making smaller/lighter amps that sound better at lower volumes, they're putting full feature sets on less powerful amps instead of reserving them for the 100w version, and in some cases, they're integrating IR...

yeah it's just a stock JCA 1x12. I didn't even change the speaker in it. Great little cab for this type of situation.

Size = convenience imo. I prefer watching bands and playing with stacks for that bad ass meathead appeal. But at my age, carrying around a 4x12 isn't fun, not to mention two of them. I get that, and I am looking forward to the day I can be happy with the modeling stuff and have a tiny rig. So much ...

When people say guitarists are luddites that oppose change, I say we're not opposed to change, we're opposed to buying something that doesn't sound as good as what we already have. Tube amps, transistor dirt/fuzz, digital delays/reverbs. This stuff is popular for a reason. Exactly!!! I'm not at all...

Thanks!!! I've been getting lazy in my old age so, I just ordered the Platech GPA-100 power amp from Japan. It's already set up for use in the USA... 100-120v // 50-60hz While I do like tubes, I've been playing solid state for a really long time so, I'm sure that the RGX100 and the GPA-100 will wor...

Anyone looked at a digital photo from 5, 10 years ago? That's how I feel about modelling. I agree. It's not a fully developed technology yet. It has nothing to do with being digital. Take digital reverb for example. You can get a Lexicon from 1985 and nothing beats it to this day. They've gotten sm...
