Re: Tone Seekers - Your Personal Best Tone
Being able to crank up a good amp and using an old Echoplex has me lost for hours, but I don’t get opportunities to play that loud anymore and an old Echoplex is a pain in the arse to carry around.

Be careful what you offer, I can have someone help start to align those planets for me...matman wrote: ↑Thu Sep 01, 2022 11:01 pmWell if the planets align and I kark it before you do, and none of my 3 guitar playing sons want it, you're welcome to make my wife an offer (for the amp that is)Danger Mouse wrote: ↑Mon Aug 29, 2022 12:52 pm My personal best tone isn't mine, but Matman will never part with the amp responsible.
I still keep thinking about and am very temped by your offer to let me have it cloned, but just have other priorities at the moment.

A Ryan custom build. I haven't played through the finished version, but a late prototype down at a Tronfest.Molly wrote: ↑Fri Sep 02, 2022 12:05 amWhat's the amp?matman wrote: ↑Thu Sep 01, 2022 11:01 pmWell if the planets align and I kark it before you do, and none of my 3 guitar playing sons want it, you're welcome to make my wife an offer (for the amp that is)Danger Mouse wrote: ↑Mon Aug 29, 2022 12:52 pm My personal best tone isn't mine, but Matman will never part with the amp responsible.
It has easily the thickest, chunkiest, aggressive yet polished, modern high gain tone of any amp I've ever played through.

Re: Tone Seekers - Your Personal Best Tone
I've been thinking about this but for myself, I can't easily separate tone, feel and context. I tweak stuff until it sits well in the mix and sitting well means it feels comfortable to play so I enjoy what I'm doing and the result sounds good. Then on to the next song which may require something different.
I've got used to my two main amps, Optimus and the Jansen. I'm not silly enough to say they sound better than other amps but they certainly sound familiar to me and that's useful. Timmy, Archer and Flint take care of the tweaking.
Best tones?
G&L Legacy: Vintage Strat.
Korinacaster: Fat Tele
Arps: I'm loving the feel of this thing; so tiny and lightweight with a big P90 sound.
Tom Anderson Strat style (Oleg's): Best dirt tones I've ever had.
Jazzmaster partscaster (Oleg's): Maybe this. I could sit at home all day listening to this thing. For huge spanky clean tone, there's nothing like it. (Except everything Strummers owns.)
And if I'm just working on stuff at home, my ZT Lunchbox sounds really good. Go figure.

Beyond a critical point within a finite space, freedom diminishes as numbers increase. This is as true of humans as it is of gas molecules in a sealed flask. The human question is not how many can possibly survive within the system, but what kind of existence is possible for those who so survive.
