Eric Cantona Posted June 15, 2017 Share Posted June 15, 2017 Jammed with a well known Norwegian guitarist today, tried out his rig. There was an overdrive pedal which caught my interest, Fulltone Full-Drive 2. I've been drooling over it all day now and I really really really wanna buy one. Also I've been daydreaming about Jubilees BTW, the Les Paul is fantastic! I'll probably write a review about it soon 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That said, I actually really dig the overdrive in my TC Nova System. It's not overbearing if you want to use it simply as either a gain or volume boost, but even when you use it on its own in the clean channel it sounds amazing. Great crunchy drive reminiscent of Tom Morello. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll probably write a review about it soon Lol I have the Fulldrive 2 (its amazing) and I know I keep mentioning it, the Alexander Jubilee overdrive. I have the MOSFET version of the FD2. I use the Comp-Cut mode which is like a clean boost. Right now I have a seperate pedal chain for both my Marshall and Fender and use the Fulldrive to push the Marshall. It sounds awesome. For really scorching leads, I run the Marshall at full volume with the FD2's boost about half way up and run that at the same time with the Alexander Jubilee through my Fender amp. Absolutely screams. Edited June 16, 2017 by ZoSoRose 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
James Bond Posted June 16, 2017 Share Posted June 16, 2017 I find that the "less is more" approach I decided to take over the past year or two has made me a better player. I've noticed the most improvement in my playing than I have in a long time (I guess part of that may or may not be my more limited schedule due to fatherhood ). My current rig is this: - 2005 Gibson SG '61 Reissue - Marshall Jubilee 2525C - TC Electronic Nova System w/ Roland EV-5 Expression Pedal - Dunlop Jerry Cantrell Signature Wah (the best Wah on the market as far as I'm concerned) That's it! I've always preferred running my effects direct rather than use the loop so my chain is simply Guitar > Wah > Nova > Amp. Now I just await my Custom Shop SG. I've sold a lot of shit! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AxlisOld Posted June 17, 2017 Share Posted June 17, 2017 (edited) @ZoSoRose I don't look at new gear often, and I was on craigslist perusing and saw a class 5 head on there, and recognized it from you bringing it up a bunch. Apparently these microtubes are getting popular now and people have very good things to say about them. I have an early 90's Fender Blues Deville that's just too damn loud for what I want it for. Might hock that thing for 600ish and grab a microtube amp. The Bugera T5 Infinium has great reviews and it's only 150 bucks.Then who has 450 bucks extra in their pocket? I do. That's who. I'm gonna keep drinking and think this over further. http://www.guitarcenter.com/Bugera/T5-5W-Tube-Guitar-Amplifier-Head-1500000044985.gc?

I was all excited to respond and then today ended up being a long day. Bruh I fucking love the Class 5. My band played a show tonight and it in unison with my Fender and pedals just makes my tone a dream. I was miced up tonight which I presume does help quite a bit. Anyways, Class 5 does the Marshall crunch thing in spades if that is what you want. The cleans are actually really great, but we all know what that amp is designed for. I keep the bass way down and have the treble and mids cranked. Volume was at like 7 or 8 today. Honestly, since getting it I look at gear online way less. Im definitely super happy, but I am also glad I have the Fender to use alongside it. Its a LOUD 5 watts but sometimes you need more than 5 watts. I got mine for $250 so it was a steal. Easily one of the best gear bargains Ive gotten. You see them on Reverb usually for between 400 - 500 for the como. The head looks sweet too. And that Bugera looks cool. I was checking it out last week actually since my friend wants an inexpensive tube amp. You should also look at the Vox Night Train (no pun intended). Heads are usually pretty cheap online. I always thought low watt amps were dumb. I was an idiot. Edited June 18, 2017 by ZoSoRose Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
James Bond Posted June 18, 2017 Share Posted June 18, 2017 The 5 watt setting on my Jubilee is sublime. A friend of mine has the Slash SL-5 amp and we've even done guitar tracks with that on the 1 watt setting. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eric Cantona Posted June 27, 2017 Share Posted June 27, 2017 Some videos of the Les Paul in action As you can see in the last two videos, I took off the pick guard and put the pick up-poker chip on the guitar, looks much better like that. I looked at the electronics inside and found out that it won't be that hard to change pick ups on this No immediate plans on changing the pick ups though, these sound good to my ears.

I didn't like the DSLs at first, but I've grown to like them quite a bit. I like the 100 and the 40C, but haven't bonded with the 5C or 15C yet. I also played an original JCM2000 DSL which I also really liked. Those may be cheaper, too Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can't wait to start playing shows again soon. Also going to be testing a FTR37 head tomorrow which was previously owned by Fortus. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
