Members BydoEmpire Posted March 10, 2010 Members Share Posted March 10, 2010 Nice, HNGD. Interesting observations, thanks for posting. I wouldn't mind trying one of them out when I get a chance. The truss rod adjustment is at the end of neck. The only way to adjust it is by removing the neck.That drives me batty w/ my strats, too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Prages Posted March 10, 2010 Members Share Posted March 10, 2010 Very nice. I've said it before, and I'll say it again...if I didn't already have my orange Warmoth, I'd seriously look into either a SoCal or a San Dimas. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members jhorne Posted March 10, 2010 Members Share Posted March 10, 2010 I was looking into getting one of those, but they would budge below $850 so I passed... Just as well since I've got too many guitars as it is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members JoeFatFish Posted March 10, 2010 Members Share Posted March 10, 2010 Very nice! I thought about getting that one a few weeks ago, but didn't want to spend another $1K, so I got me the Black HSS American Special Strat instead. Got it for just under $700 at GC....big sale. Anyway, that is one fine axe brother. I see the Blackstar amp. Is that particular Blackstar very good? I have been thinking about it for a few monthes as well. Please do tell??

It's the Blackstar HT-5 mini-stack. I got it just before Christmas when GC was selling them for $479. There's lots of reviews of that amp here on HC. Overall, it does what it's supposed to -- deliver a huge sounding Marshall-like tone at volumes that don't peal the paint off the wall. It goes from classic Marshall crunch to medium-high gain, just short of metal tones. The clean channel doesn't have a lot of fans, but it works for me with a compressor up front and a reverb pedal in the loop. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I also like the amp for what it is. Here are a few songs I've recorded with it. This one is a mixture of direct and mic'd tones. Far Behind And this one is all mic'd.
