    Is the Matrix GT1000FX still the best Solid State guitar power amp in 2023?

    I use my GT1000FX with a 1x12 open back cab with a EV12L in it - and its plenty loud - and sounds huge. And its nice not having to carry a 2x12 around ! Good luck!

    I’d like to kill every tree in North America.

    Sounds like someone needs to move to Iceland - little to no trees there...

    Anyone sell all their tube amps?

    Nope - you're not alone - bought a SLO 30 - and just for the fun of it, an Orange Super Crush 100, which actually way exceeded my expectations. I love my Axe fx - but still love amps and pedals too.

He's kind of the teacher thats like, " here - just do this - (insert crazy lick or chord progression here) " And I'm like - wtf is he doing ? He doesn't really explain what...

    Gibson wins lawsuit against Dean over Explorer body shape

    yeah - I really don't understand the shape thing and how you can claim a shape is yours. I'll go back to Paul Reed Smith's quote - I made a mini van, does that mean that no one else can make a minivan? or an SUV? or a car for that matter? Regardless - it definitely leaves a bad taste in my...

    FRFR for loud Hi Gain tone

    Matrix 1600 power amp - run two 1x12's with EV 12L's. Not really FRFR - but could be based on the EV's very neutral character. The EV's are VERY loud and while not that light - would be lighter than a 2x12 - and they can take, and love high volumes. I have a Xitone as well and its great - but...

    What's the longest time you've spent learning a song and getting it right?

    Exactly - I like to take one or two difficult measures, put the metronome on slow and work on it that way. Your learning the song and improving a technique.
