Pigtronix is analog dry through and 24 bit / 48 kHz HD.

Boss is 32 bit ad/da conversion.

The sample quality will largely be imperceptible between the two,.. however analogue dry through always wins out over ad/da conversion for me.

Agree with Kris. Close it up. V30 all day.

YOU KEEP YOUR GUITARS IN A CHANGING ROOM?

:lol: free relicing service? 😀 Its incredible how much wood 'breathes' from day to day or year to year. When you bring into account wood under tension via wire, it seems the best way to store is in a place with as little fluctuation as possible.

Played at home only. Sounds incredible! Has that sharp asymmetrical bite, but smooth touch response as well. Completely different to the modern SMD units or Waza.

What a great story and writeup on the 35rt! Its the best Solid state all analogue amp I've tried and fools so many people into thinking its all tube. The touch response is incredible and takes pedals so well. I picked one up to get back into playing again after a long hiatus and was just running an ...

What an epic rig.
Ambience noise machine in spades there!

Grabbed this "86 black label SD1 the other day.
Couldn't resist.

Original box
Original plastic
Original manual
Original promo booklet

Total timecapsule.
Yes I'm a nerd

In contrast, the Gibson mahogany question has been gone over many times. It always lands with true generalisations countered by someone saying every guitar is different.

Cheers. Just wanted a local perspective on it really out of interest.

Cheers for your help.
It's a sobering read and a shame to see its classified as vulnerable conservation status.
With the way the world is, don't think I'll ever buy a new guitar again.

Can anyone enlighten me at all regarding Gibsons mahogany.. What species? Where is it sourced? Do they truly use different grades for different series of product lines or is it all marketing blah? Apparently a lot of young growth mahogany and wood is being used in the industry. Keen on a new Les Pau...
