Hey all, first post.
Being a blues forum I would imagine tone is huge here, Blues tone on guitar has possibly the largest tonal pallette of all the blues instruments. That's my attraction or at least a big part of it.
Right now I'm very happy with my tone, here's my tone chain;
G&L ASAT Special > Monster cable > Fender SuperSonic 60
For me this is an absolute pedal killer rig.
I have the Zendrive2, and it gives the clean channel some great Texas BBQ. Texas Flood pretty much gets nailed. But the "burn" channel on the amp with its cascading gain structure can easily cop that Texas vibe. No big need for the Zendrive except for a second cool od tone.
Grab amp and go is my prefered lazy solution. Lol.
The amp has a pro fx loop that I can stick my HoF and Red Witch PentaVocal Tremolo.
But my quick grab and go rig would just have a patch chord connecting the fx loop providing the best type of boost, pure amp boost. Just the ticket to cut above crunchy comping volume.
The amp has ten tubes, it has a Vibrolux circuit, a Bassman circuit, and then the burn channel which seems to be it's own thing. Sounds like the Bassman overdriven but the SuperSonic 22 sounds very much the same as well as the SS100, the burn channel is similar cascading gain design.
