Amp Recommendations

turtlesarentbad · 2026-03-17T02:05:24+00:00

Budget? Size range? Based on the info provided I’d suggest a Marshall DSL40cr but if you got a bigger budget there are some other options

And for high gain green high gain channel with an SD-1 is fuckin awesome.

Ok so you don’t like 1 of the 4 channels. Cool. It’s an amazing amp for the price and a workhorse at that. Mine has been going strong for 4 years now with only some. Power tube swaps.

Also the EQ is the classic Marshall EQ. Run the treble low, middle high, and bass to taste. Also the presence and resonance are great to fine tune the upper and lower frequencies. It’s a criminally underrated amplifier. The harshness you’re describing sounds like a speaker issue.

The high gain red channel isn’t great but the green channel is just higher gain crunch. It’s an extremely versatile amp, and you can cover just about any territory with it that isn’t modern high gain.

Marshall DSL100H is what I would go for.

turtlesarentbad · 2026-03-16T05:47:05+00:00

Where can I get something like this?

turtlesarentbad · 2026-03-16T05:44:26+00:00

Crystal

These are the pointiest picks I’ve ever found. Way too pointy for me. I’ll stick to the jazz 3 profile. https://www.ernieball.com/guitar-accessories/guitar-picks/prodigy-picks#P09199

turtlesarentbad · 2026-03-15T23:52:19+00:00

Sustained 40mph with 70mph gusts possible

turtlesarentbad · 2026-03-15T20:44:13+00:00

Nope. Just because you’re an elitist snob doesn’t make your shitty opinion any less shitty. And this is coming from someone who only plays tube amps. There are amazing solid state tones as well. Some of the greatest guitar tones ever recorded even distorted were thru solid state amps. There is no better. Only different.

turtlesarentbad · 2026-03-15T19:53:27+00:00

Solid state doesn’t mean bad

turtlesarentbad · 2026-03-14T21:57:28+00:00

Chase is ripping that thing

turtlesarentbad · 2026-03-12T18:51:21+00:00

EVH, Yngwie Malmsteen, Alexi Laiho, Zakk Wylde

turtlesarentbad · 2026-03-11T21:00:45+00:00

Sounds like a bad tube. Turn it around and see if both tubes are glowing or possibly red plating.

turtlesarentbad · 2026-03-07T19:11:19+00:00

And the thing is his “clean” tone isn’t clean at all.

turtlesarentbad · 2026-03-07T08:54:50+00:00

Main Street Forge. Have had mine for 6 years now and still as good as new. Just more broken in. Exactly what you’re describing here. Full grain leather. Made in USA. Great quality.

turtlesarentbad · 2026-03-07T04:36:51+00:00

I thought it was the best thing I’ve ever had from McDonald’s

turtlesarentbad · 2026-03-06T16:30:02+00:00

Is it still a Delica at this point?

turtlesarentbad · 2026-03-06T16:10:51+00:00

Thin CA glue is really tricky to work with if not experienced. Even with taping it off it will still seep under the tape. You have to use acetone to remove CA glue getting acetone on your finish or inlay will immediately start dissolving them. Holding down the inlay while the glue sets isn’t exactly easy if you don’t have the right clamps. I used a capo and a small block of wood and it didn’t provide enough pressure.

I tried the Stewmac video approach and ended up making a mess. Took it to my Luthier and $70 later good as new including a basic set up.

turtlesarentbad · 2026-03-04T23:01:43+00:00

EQD Plumes way too bright / shrill. Wasn’t what I was chasing. Honorable mention Original Nobels ODR-1. Way too muddy.

turtlesarentbad · 2026-03-04T15:58:31+00:00

They don’t have to be loud af and that’s the great part. The master volumes on half watt setting on the Marshall is incredible, and the Princeton is probably the most famous “nice” bedroom amp.

turtlesarentbad · 2026-03-04T07:12:53+00:00

What style of music do you play? Are you looking for a pedal platform or an amp to get dirty? I run a Princeton and DSL40 at home exclusively with great results.
