    PRS DGT SE Muddy Tone / HX Stomp tone comparison

    1. Guitar Reset the pickups to whatever spec is recommended by PRS.. if the sound is as offensive as you infer, its not the guitar. 2. Calibrate Use your HX to play music through whatever you play through.. Use this to set your sonic expectations of balance your signal chain.. If its bass...

    NAD - sorry, no one *needs* a 100 watt amp anymore!!!

    Nope.. nobody NEEDS a 100W amp.. but they are like crack.. you don't NEED crack, but when you do you are hooked.. Play through a 100W version of an amp you love, then see if you can go back onto the forums and say "nah, they sound the same".. 100W amps are like great amps.. but on 11. I had...

    What makes PRS a 5000$ guitar?

    I suggest you kindly don't "read into" my posts stuff I did not write. You are neither my wife nor my therapist. By all means go with what stance, bias, opinion and prejudice you prefer.. but do it in your own posts.

    What makes PRS a 5000$ guitar?

    My core 594 10-top is the most expensive guitar I have purchased at near $5k, followed by a 2012 Les Paul Standard and Gretsch Broadkaster, both at $3000 apiece. The core 594 It is thoughtfully designed and produced with some nice touches. Obviously as a 10-top you are paying a very sizeable...

    One (low-watt) Amp to Do-It-All ....

    You mentioned concern over clean sounds and I am with you 100%.. There are hundreds of ways to get a dirt sound you like, but if the simple clean tone does not float your boat then its the wrong amp. You simply can't go wrong with the DRRI. its a GREAT pedal platform, and the clean tone is...

    Which PRS guitars are the most similar to a Les Paul

    While my 594 DC is a beautiful, well made guitar it simply cannot reproduce the raw tones either of my two Les Pauls can. It has that PRS family "politeness" going on...and luckily i wasn't expecting the guitars to sound the same. Folk can say some PRS are in the "ballpark" but tbh, it is in...

    Blues Jr.

    The Blues Jr is a very popular amp. It has neither a tweed nor a BF tone, but does give good versatility. It does sound "boxy" however and would benefit from a cabinet upgrade. If you are after "that" Fender clean tone, the DRRI may well be twice the price (as someone pointed out above) but...

    What Are Your Favorite Amps To Play?

    I am a simpleton.. 1. I cannot ever not love the clean tone of Fender Deluxe Reverb.. it would be the last amp out of my door...unless a Twin showed up. 2. Marshall Vintage Modern : Better than expected cleans, does blues and 70's classic rock and more. Much misunderstood and highly...

    I wish dealers would post better

    I would be happy with them actually being honest about the defects on used gear.. setting false expectations and then getting mad with customers who reasonably do not think "mint" includes a dent and chipped paint on a guitar body, or a truss rod that doesn't work or etc etc..

    1994 PRS CE 22 - Dragon 1 swap or sell

    OP: This will sound harsh.. but bear with me.. There is NOTHING that you can do to this guitar that will make it sound like a Les Paul.. There is no pickup swap, wiring or anything else that will get close.. Other than being an electric guitar there are no similarities in construction that...

    First time PRS guitar purchase and looking for some help in which to consider!

    keep it. you have a guitar for metal and you wanted something more straight "rock" and so, imo, you got the best that PRS has in that category ... a 594.
