I hate everything I haven't tried until I try it.

I'd pay money not to have to

PRS Silver Sky makes me cry. A company dedicated to innovation produces a Strat copy just to have John Mayer promote it. Late capitalism!

I just can't get with the telecaster shape. I am almost certainly missing out on playing some amazing guitars, but I take one look at that shape and think it must have been designed by a drunk blind man driven mad by syphilis.

Things like Silver Sky's and Shurs and so forth. Just get a Strat and be done with it.

Vox amps - or anything EL84 really. I really, really wanted to love my AC30, but I really, really didn't.

And brand new guitars. I much prefer something with a few seasons on it.

On compressors: they have always perplexed me, but recently I've been trying to play funk, and I think I'm beginning to see the point? It is really hard to play Brick House and get it to sound consistently good... with a spanky clean sound, I find I have to concentrate so hard on my touch, it's just exhausting. Anyway, I am contemplating getting my very first compressor.

Re EL84 - I hear ya. But, once I got the JMI everything changed. Fat juicy compressed and aggressive. The TC15 is mostly there at more manageable Volumes

Vox type circuits have their quirks. I’ve had quite a few including most recently a Ceriatone DC30 clone. I’m
Yet to find one with the chime I want but also the fullness and tight low end I also like. It seems you sacrifice the former to get the latter. Unless they are very loud
And then it’s a bit different.

They’re not really innovative though, single and double cut guitars have been done to death, companies like Strandberg are innovators.

Big op trannies, right choice of speaker and tubes all help. I think current smaller Vox amps have focussed too much on that papery chime at the expense of everything else. Old Voxs are different from that…I think they’re responding to what people “think” a Vox should sound like.

Marshall 1974’s are tight sounding and the bass n lead (2061?)

I'm going to be really interested on your take on my AC4.
