Pearce - G1 and/or G2r

....I've had three of these amps, and now - I miss them. That Holdsworth tone was just as easy as you can image to get with those amps. Yes, I know the AxeFx can get that tone to some degree, but......the Pearce amps were something very, very special IMO.
 
I sent Cliff the schematics for the G2r.
But I have my doubts as to whether this amp, or any other solid state amp, interests him very much.

By today's standards the overdrive channel isn't all that. But for a ss state amp in the late 80s/early 90s it was pretty special.

I think there's something quite special about the Pearce clean channels though.
They have a lot of warmth but they don't sound or behave like tube amps really.
Quite musical. Crystal clean at any volume, if you want them to be. It can be set up to break up a little bit too with the flick of a switch, if you want that.
My G2r is my favourite amp for straight ahead jazz playing.
