Where is that speedo pic
I bought a 5150 half stack new back in 1994 as a reward for not smoking for one full year, I'm still a non smoker.
I played that amp for a really long time but let it go probably three years ago or so. I'd always played with higher gain so that amp worked for me.
I started working with a band recording tracks just before getting rid of that 5150. After really listening to the first song I did tracks for, I realized I needed a tonal upgrade and that's been a really deep rabbit hole.
I've listened to a ton of videos from players and amp builders. People like Grissom can just pull some incredible tones out of their amps and it just drives that desire for better tone even more.
I just listened to another video of the prs HDRX 20 head and that thing sounds so good and it's incredibly affordable.
The two amps I'm using the most right now are jcm800 studio head and mesa stiletto. Both great amps but I'm not 100% happy. The jcm800 is just to harsh and brittle, the Stiletto sounds good but I don't lust for it.
I love the marshall super lead tone but that is an expensive endeavor.
HOWEVER....I had a super lead with both cabs back in the 80s and I think I have an opportunity to buy them back. 100 watt head and two basket weave cabs. I WANT that rig back just not sure how soon it will be available. I'm confident I have first dibs but how long is the question.
I'm giving serious consideration to the HDRX 20 for now and would probably move the mesa and jcm800.
I have put together several 4x12 cabs for more tonal possibilities but would probably get rid of most of them depending on how the prs head responds to each of them.
I have owned a couple of prs heads but didn't quite bond with them but I did play the HDRX 20 last year at a dealer. Great little amp and I really wanted to pull the trigger but I decided to wait till these were out in the field for a while to see how they hold up.
