Gibson Les Paul Standard HC 1996

it's like you're calling my name, or something...

I'm selling mine but not at that price

have the European original release on vinyl. Without Sykes. Perhaps it's hard to find thar LP in the US. But the 25th anniversary release has both the US and UK mixes of the album. It's on Tidal https://tidal.com/album/2890847/u And on Spotify "The 25th Anniversary Expanded Edition of Slide It In (released in 2009) includes both the US mix and the UK mix. Track Breakdown: US Mix (Tracks 1–10): Remixed by Keith Olsen. Features guitar work by John Sykes, bass by Neil Murray, and a polished, aggressive "American" hard rock sound. UK Mix (Tracks 12–19, bonus tracks): Original mix by Martin Birch. Features guitars by Micky Moody and Mel Galley, bass by Colin Hodgkinson, and the band's traditional bluesy British tone. This edition also includes the single B-side "Need Your Love So Bad" and a bonus DVD with music videos and live performances. "

This? I like it.

Ill post a pic when it shows up 😀

Andy Fuchs is almost ready to debut his rotary speaker.

Congration?

Shocking. I am shocked. Look at me: this is my shocked face…

Can I use my Tone King Imperial Tri-Tube in front of my Deluxe Reverb instead?

I am another user of the Motion Sound version. Has a built in amp. Back aways, I used it with a 1 x 12 Mesa combo amp and an ABY switcher. I did like the combo. Still does work, but I am not dragging it out for any place I am plugging in these days.....Yep, got a small box on the pedalboard.......

Effectrode (UK) has taken exception to Keeley's use of the name of their tube pedal. Nothing illegal I suppose. I am a big fan of the Effectrode pedals that (IMO) have been at the forefront of tube driven pedals (effects, as well as drive) quality wise. A bit more expensive than this one, but lots off great tone with the built in THREE preamp tubes. Worth checking out. Though my favorite is their Blackbird......

SOLD!

Meh. Dual horns are essential for that, "watery", Leslie sound, but it's just more gear to hump. Why bother when there are so many great Leslie pedals out there?

Saw that. Incredible build. It's beautiful and sounds great. He really went all in. But... It's just too nice to gig with (which, I suppose, is what he was going for). A simple cab with adjustable fast/slow/ramp would be ideal. I use a Motion Sound AR112 and it's almost there. It's just a spinning baffle in front of a 12", with no horn. Very subtle (slow spin) but you notice when it's off. Great 3D effect. But having both low and high ends spinning independently like his would be better.

I'll just cut to the chase... This is the greatest tone I have ever heard in my life. End of review. OK, a bit more. This Bad Cat ERA 30 is basically an improved Matchless DC30 or C30 amp. I actually owned 3 of them over the years (One was formally used on the first Third Eye Blind record) If you ever played one, you know. You can't get a bad tone out of a DC30. And, pretty much every pro player and studio seems to own a DC30. They are just great amps with 2 channels: a 12AX7 Preamp channel and a Voxy EF86 Preamp channel. This new Mark Sampson amp (RIP, he recently passed) is basically taking that DC30 and improving it. Both channels are now foot-switchable, a cleaner signal path, better EFX Loop, a tweaked tone stack and now, you can mix/combine both channels by foot-switch! You all know how much I LOVE my Bogners (Goldfinger has been my gold standard) Side-by-side, this ERA tone-wise just killed it. Killed it!!!! (I just sold the Goldfinger) The detail and depth of the tone is so amazing, especially the tightness of lower end frequencies is mind blowing. If you live in the slightly dirty clean to classic rock world, this is it peeps. I can honestly say, with 67 years and owning 100+ amps later... there is a Nirvana and I am here. Sure, it doesn't cover every base. It's not a Twin Reverb country clean or Mesa Rectifier tear your face off metal. It just does the middle ground like no other. If I had one thing, I wish it had reverb. But, I put a simple Electro Harmonix Holy Grail in the loop and done. After getting the head and digging it so much, I got the matching 1x12 Cab with a custom Bad Cat voiced, Celestion speaker. A perfect match for the head. I highly recommend checking one out. Here's a YouTube review that shows it and Mark Sampson's interview (Plus, I love all of Paul's videos, they guy is a monster player)

Love it! I've always thought it would be nice to have a more portable Leslie cab for guitars. I absolutely love my Mesa Revolver especially since the speaker itself actually rotates but it is becoming a little more awkward to haul around to gigs as I get older.

yes it did !

Kinda reminds me of Shakira’s Special.

Saw a more recent interview with Huff and he said he played on the radio edit version.

Even this old dog has new tricks to learn, assuming that the veracity of Wikipedia is unassailable: In the Wiki article, Coverdale referred to the Whitesnake's hair-metal replacements as, "The Vid Kids." Ah, them cheeky Brits. Ya gotta love 'em!

Yeah, that's true, unfortunately. Lizzy definitely went out with a fart. Ironically, Marsden would have made an excellent pairing with Scott Gorham. Maybe they would have had one last, killer hard-rock album to release?
