You guys are all working way to hard at this.
Tell you what....
Just send me your amps and I'll let you know which one is best.

My Super Dallas can beat up your DG30
- Thread starter Boogie
- Start date
Boogie!
Nice tones, nice playing, brother! Sounds mean, raw and tight, just right for the music.
And despite pedals and amp, I could still hear the guitar itself coming through. So...yeah. I dig!
Big thumbs up!

I kind of like what you got going on here.
It will be interesting to see how it develops.
EDIT: Funny that our Human Machine friend autoplayed after you.

Dave's not here
I thought the same thing Lol!
Anyway... I like it Boogie!
So now we are cooking with GAS....
That was a "my father who was born in 1916" saying. I guess they must've cooked with a wood stove before that, huh?
Anyway, this is getting to be a lot of fun! Tonight I started writing a new piece, but it turned into a techno synth thing, and you guys will hate it, plus there are no guitars on it yet.
So I'm going to re-work the Americana piece I posted the other day - it has some potential methinks.

Really, really liked the palm muted rhythms in Mush Mouth!

Authorities said.....best leave it.....unsolved
I dig it! I opened all of them at once in separate windows, so I don't recall what was what. But, I think Face Melter reminded me of Rush as did Jam (maybe). Good stuff!
Thank you very much! It's a truly fun tune to play.
This is why I don't like making comparisons...case in point:
Les' two clips on the first page are buffed to a polish not unlike that of his HotG's Private Stock nitro finish. Elegant. Classy. Refined. Detailed. Totally pro. There is absolutely nothing in my archives that have that level of quality. Comparing his works to mine is like comparing two cheeses...a nice ripened mushroom brie and, say, olive oil and thyme asiago. OK, maybe I'm more like a block of government cheese to his brie, but you get the picture. Two different tastes, smells and consistencies. But it actually makes the point of the OP <-me.
There's no need to compare. These are individual examples of success and complete customer satisfaction with PRS amps.
I will also say, normally, my clips would not have that much gain. My gigs these days are with a country cover band and the grind is much lower than the above. That would be closer to the work Les presented and a better example of the Super Dallas vs. DG30.
Aristotle has already posted numerous high quality demos of his beautiful gear. But a live clip would be very cool.

Wait. Does this mean nobody is sending me amps?
Great tracks Boogie! The first one reminded me of a band I've been into for 30 years. It was like what I aspire to play.

Yes, Rob and I will be happy to supply our opinions after receiving your amps. We will even pay shipping.
Fixed it for ya.

I'm sending you an amp.
Just not soon. But one day...

I've started plotting for after my guitar is done but just today a friend showed me a shiny new modelling gizmo and I'm all confused again.
Tonight I realized that my hand isn't going to get better, and I'm gradually losing the ability to play. So soon I'll be a civilian and not a musician.
I'm trying to get all the playing in that I can before that happens, but it's approaching with alarming speed.
The irony? I just got the perfect guitar, and my rig has never sounded this good.
Such, my friends, are the vicissitudes of life.

Heartfelt thank you for that comment, Rob. Nice of you to say.
Keep in mind that my example clips are not what most people would think are characteristic of PRS' Dallas product line. Granted, the Super Dallas is EL34 based (the power stage of the HXDA, among others) but I think most people that are familiar with these amps tend to pigeon hole them as a clean or country-centric amp. If that's what you thought, listen to my clips and you might think differently. Don't get me wrong, the SuperD does the clean thing beautifully and punchy crunch like no one's business (Listen to David Grissom's Way Down Deep release, Skimming the Surface in particular). Clean clips will follow at some time. A good amp sounds good in it's intended element. A great amp sounds great regardless of how you apply it. These are great amps, the SuperD, the DG30/50, HXDA, MDT, et al.
Exactly. Which is why in today's LA and Nashville sessions, people show up with more than a Fender or Marshall amp. You see everything -- as long as it sounds good, it IS good.
A PRS dealer recently made me an offer to buy one that was difficult to turn down but I did. The simplest, watered down crude description of the Super Dallas is "a super clean sounding amp which requires pedals to get different tones". My guess as to why they don't make the Super Dallas anymore is because they make the Archon now. Yes, it is known as a high gain amp BUT THE ARCHON ALSO HAS A SUPER CLEAN CHANEL OF IMPECCABLE MUSICAL QUALITY. So I realized that since I already owned an Archon, I could simply use the clean channel it came with and then run a bunch of pedals into it in order to accomplish the same thing. Super Dallas= Super Clean only versus the Archon= Super Clean plus Super Modern Distortion in the same amp. No Need to duplicate efforts by having both an Archon and a Super Dallas, so I didn't buy it. (I also didn't want the weight of a 4x10 combo but that's another story.)
I get that, and I've heard that players love the Archon for its cleans, that I also think are very good.
But a Super Dallas can also be overdriven on its own, as I understand it, and I like single channel amps.
