You actually have GH50L clips too, the other amp I'm considering. Nice clips! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members drucifer Posted March 4, 2006 Members Share Posted March 4, 2006 Thank ye, sir! No boost in those clips. As a matter of fact, for those clips I've got a GE-7 between guitar & amp sucking out some pre input lows. Anti-boosted, I guess you'd say.

The quality isn't as great as the SL-X recordings though. How would you compare them? I blew a chance on an SL-X on ebay, and have a price of $720 on a brand new GH50L... Decisons, decisions...Neither of which I can try out first. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members drucifer Posted March 4, 2006 Members Share Posted March 4, 2006 The overall flavor is similar. The GH50L is a little more middy & has a sharper edge to the attack. I wouldn't say it's more meaty. The difference in tone between the clips in the "meat" frequencies can most likely be attributed to the cabs. SL-X was recorded using a 5150 cab with Vintage 30's; GH50L clips are with an Avatar 2x12 with V12's. You nailed it with the difference in quality you noted...my recording skill has somewhat advanced in the 4 years since that clip was recorded.Originally posted by doomsdaymachine The GH50L sounds "meaty".

Members The Idiot Posted March 25, 2006 Members Share Posted March 25, 2006 I just got the SL-X's big brother, the 2100 - incredible amplifier. EL-34's to boot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members drucifer Posted March 25, 2006 Members Share Posted March 25, 2006 I was under the impression that the Mk III incorporated diode clipping - as in the Jubilee, whereas the SL-X is an all-tube signal path. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You are correct sir, but I also get the impression that hardly anyone uses most of gain on the sl-x cause it supposedly turns to mush; I gather there's not much difference in them if you if crank the master on channel A and keep the gain on 10 instead of 20. But I might be wrong. But then again, if someone compares the mkIII with a SL-X carrying 5881's, they probably don't sound similar a'tall... As a point of reference, I find the mkIII on zero gain with the preamp volume at about 8 and a les paul, gives me a sound exactly like GNR's version of Knocking on Heaven's Door.

Members -todgemistro- Posted March 25, 2006 Members Share Posted March 25, 2006 I heard that Scott Gorham uses these. It would be nice to know if this is true as I saw Thin Lizzy on Thursday and his tone was AMAZING. However I dont like that clip someones just posted up so maybe it wouldnt be the amp for me.
