Getting back into playing the guitar after a lil hiatus. Absolutely loving my new DGT. Just treated a spare bedroom with some nice sound treatment for starting to do some recording.
Guitars I have: McCarty and DGT
Amps I'm considering: HXDA or 2 Channel Custom
Sounds I like: Hendrix, SRV, Santana solos... Trying to keep the list simple and short. I do like a nice singing lead tone.
Styles I play: Eclectic fusion of Reggae, Rock & Jazz.
For the moment I'm happy with finding a great amp for getting beautiful big sounds to record with. Yes, I can turn the amp up to get it going. I will have the opportunity to gig a bit with it too. With the idea of more gigging in the future.
I mainly like to control my tone with pedals, which is why I'm leaning towards the 2 channel custom. I'm not very versed in rolling off the volume to clean things up... but what better time to learn!?
From what I'm hearing, and I know that online listening is deceiving, it seems the HXDA has a fuller rounder tone which I definitely admire (maybe also why it's $1000 more??
) I did hear a beautiful clean tone out of the 2 Channel Custom but the driven tone sounded a bit thinner in comparison. Again, hard to tell completely without having the amps in front of me.
I'll probably try and go play them, but may be a bit challenging to find both to try at once.
Realistically I'll probably end up with both... at some point... hopefully... in the somewhat near future. But which one first? :dontknow:
Any thoughts are welcome! Thanks in advance.
