Is the second channel of the od100 se plus have the same voicing when boost is on and off

Or is the voicing different when the boost is on?

Also I usually always play the amp with the boost on and gain at 5. I wonder if I would get better results by not using boost and just bumping the gain to 7.

The gain on this amp can get pretty hairy and it loses its articulation a bit.

Suhr Amp Talk :: is anyone else not using the womp switch?

In my case its a od 100 se plus with the older womp. I findthat if I use it I have to over compensate by increasing treble and lowering the bass. Well i dont like increased treble and I ually like a flat treble response(guess I am more of a Marshall 1986 guy then a 1987 guy) Hence why I dont like bright switches

Well I find that not using the womp allows me to get a more balanced tone, and this is with gain at 5 and volume at 5 without using the effects loop as master volume. Its pretty loud but I like it that way.

When I dont use the womp I can dial my amp to be more clear and not to shrill by having the bass at 6, mids at 6, treble at 4 and presence at 5.

I find increased feedback makes the amp sound a bit more boxy so I keep the feedback around 3 or 4.

If I used the womp I would have to keep the bass around 2-3 but the tone doesnt sound as even to me.

So I think for now I wont be using the womp.

any thoughts?

I take it with the superb Suhr fretwork, something akin to this will be attainable despite the slightly rounder 14" radius at the dusty end?

I can't get the action on my Suhr as low as my Ibanez Prestige S. In fact just this week I had to adjust the relief on the Suhr for the first time since I got it a few years ago. Over time the fret buzz has been getting progressively worse. My Suhr is 10-14" compound and the the Ibanez S is about 16" radius. The fretwork on the Suhr is impeccable but the Ibanez is actually pretty exceptional as well and amazingly the setup is the same as when I bought it back at the end of 2004 - no a single adjustment!

The early Tribal Tech stuffs kicks arse.

The later albums, from Rocket Science, are a bit too improv for me...

Hurry, he did. Thanks, Drkorey, I hope you dig it!

Also, we just received a really exceptional Suhr today. Fans of Mark Knofler might recognise this one - it's an homage to Mark's Pensa-Suhr guitar.

Congrats to Jeff in the UK who special ordered this one!

I have JP6 and a S3.
Action on my JP6 is ridiculously low.
I didn't approach that low action on my S3,
but the action is on really low side anyway.
I think it can be set as low as in JP6 (or almost) if You need it.

Interesting, and the S3 has the same radius, right?

I'm sure Greg is more concerned with the financial end of the endorsement deal not what brand he plays. He's about 45 now I believe. Mans gotta make a living.

I think the Laguna thing is all about the money contract he gets. I'm sure his personal Lagunas are custom made and set up, imho.

That sounds sweet, Mart =) SS frets are the only thing I�m missing from my Suhr.

But I guess that would mean that the fret work as an effect.

I certainly find that the SS frets make bending, maybe not easier, but certainly smoother. The strings just glide over the SS frets. Like skating on ice
