For live use I am very happy with my Marshall JMD1, has a full tube poweramp stage combined with Softube amp modeling, is IMHO best of both worlds. In the studio I would use plugins with cabinet IR's. Still the most flexible solution. If you will be using an FRFR setup live your best bet will be AXE FX or Kemper but a lot will depend on your FRFR quality. J

Thanks for all your replies, would you consider the Schaller FRII to be a better fit then the new steel plate Tonemeister which is more like the OFR? I measured the nut at 42,5mm so a R3 will be better. Does anyone know what type of fretwire was used on these. Thanks

Thanks, hope this will work. Will make better pictures soon. http://s1245.photobucket.com/albums/gg595/johanvg1/

Hello, I just bought this '91 Chaparall. The guitar has a solid flamed maple body, rosewood fingerboard, sustainiac GA 2, SD JB in the bridge and a SD SSL1 in the middle, gold hardware Schaller FR tremolo bridge. The guitar comes with a R2 nut and seems a bit narrow is this normal, I think a R3 might be better fit? When setting up the guitar the bridge raises fairly high and gives more of a Les Paul type of feel instead of a Strat. It looks a bit awkward with the tremolo routing. There is no neck shim in the neck pocket. Can you tell me which model this is? Could this have been a custom ordered one? I am also thinking about replacing the bridge with a new Schaller Tonemeister tremolo but I am afraid this might brighten the maple body too much, any advice. I always liked the feel of a OFR better then a Standard Schaller. Thanks Greetings from Belgium
