Hi guys! Just finished another Basement Session called "Eden." Not much has changed, except this is the first session we've done where I'm using my Gibson Les Paul Studio Baritone instead of my normal Suhr. She does, in fact, sound entirely different. As always - love to hear your thoughts! For...

Hi folks! Been a little while, but I always try to post any material I do that features my Mesa! Not a live performance this time, but my band just released a music video. All guitars you hear are 100% Royal Atlantic and my Suhr. I believe the only pedal I ran for this track was an Eventide...

Heart = warmed. :)

I don't have a whole lot of experience with drive pedals, but I do have a couple. I have an Xotic AC Booster and have been unable to get any usable, good sounds out of the RA with it. It sounds nice with other amps, but I've resigned to sticking with the amp's overdrive and I'm happy with that...

Thank you so much!! Will definitely keep them coming! Thanks as always! I really can't say enough about that guitar. My understanding is that you can still order a "Govan spec" Suhr modern. There are a number of things about the guitar that are things I would definitely want to keep if I could...

Ahoy! Hopefully the moderators don't grow tired of me posting new material. As always, comments are much appreciated! In specific, I'd like to hear what you think about the "touch-sensitivity" of the Royal Atlantic and your own experiences! I re-tooled the second verse of this song...

Thank you so much!! Elvis is right, it is a Suhr guitar. It's actually a Guthrie Govan signature model. I don't normally go for "signature" stuff, but this was one of those stories where I walked in the store, picked it up and played it for 30 seconds, and immediately knew that I had to find a...

I'm glad you like the Creamback! I'm loving it as well, but mine's mixed with a V30. Which channel are you playing on? I'm seeing a lot of people swear by the blue channel on here these days - I've always found it to be the weakest, at least for me. I much prefer the sound of the red channel...

Thanks so much!! I'll be happy to share! Hopefully you can see this picture, but I'm on the Hi channel. Also, looks like you can't see the gain too well - it's basically set to 50-55%. Attenuators are on, usually set at the middle setting, or the next to highest setting. In general, I try to...

- Cab is horizontal. You can kinda see it in the video perched on top of my 4x12, but I was only running through the 2x12 for this. - Also, I lied above about mics. The V30 was mic'd with an SM57. The G12H75 Creamback was mic'd with a Rode NTR ribbon mic. - Thanks so much!! That means the...

Howdy! I finished up another video with my band last week and I figured I'd continue the trend of posting here for feedback! I'm using the same rig as the last one - RA-100 w/ Rectifier 2x12, (1) V30 and (1) Creamback mic'd with SM57's. Other differences: - New vocal mic - Rode NTK for all...

Hey guys! Just finished up another video. I'm very interested to hear what you guys think of the change vs. the previous videos I posted here. The setup: Royal Atlantic head, multi-soak ON -4db setting Rectifier 2x12 cab w/ (1x) original Vintage 30 and (1x) G12H-75 Creamback Shure SM57 on V30...

WHAT HE SAID! I haven't exactly seen these amps selling like gangbusters - certainly nothing like their staple Rectifier/Mark lines. I'm afraid that there will not be a V2, which is upsetting because I don't know what I would do without this amp. It has the most usable clean tone on any Mesa I...

Thanks guys! Tool and Muse are definitely in there! I grew up listening to TONS of YES. We're all big Mastodon fans, but there aren't too awful many other bands we are all fans of. We all have pretty distinct tastes. Collectively, I'd say we agree on: Modern: Tool, Mastodon, Gojira, Karnivool...

Thanks so much guys! Truly means the world!! Archlute75 - The Suhr GG is truly an incredible guitar. Very "open" sounding and plays better than any guitar I've every owned. I keep 11's on it and it feels like 9.5's. I would actually say that the blower switch is the only thing that slightly...
