The Keeley Rat has LED clipping afaik which is the mode I'm using now. To me it sounds the best out of the 3 settings on the 3 way toggle.

Bump from the depths since I never updated about what I ended up getting :weebz: discovered the DbA Fuzz War and really wanted one but the new pricing was ridiculous imo. Found a UK DIY clone place (fuzz dogs) that happened to do a FW clone called the Raw Fuzz! It sounds awesome for what I want...

I can't wait til I can get away for a week boarding in the mountains. I learnt to snowboard over the past few months and it's so much fun on the indoor slopes but I want more runs and variety already!

My gf got me the Blackstar Fly 3 stereo pack. Perfect practice amp but surprisingly loud for such a tiny package. I like it best with the clean channel gain all the way up with a boost pedal in front, to me that sounds a lot better than the OD channel. The delay on it is really nice as well...

I think I'm probably just going to get a Blackstar Fly 3 to be honest. They're from the same county as me so should be easy enough to find one haha. I like the Blackstar sound in general and the clips of it haven't sounded too bad. Plus it's only £80 for the stereo cab "mini stack" version.

To sum it up, my search for a good low volume practice amp continues :o I had a lot of high expectations going by all the positive stuff I've read online about them and was really disappointed. The main thing was that it still needed to be way louder than I'd be happy playing at home without...

My old LP had a nice headstock. Like a gibson but a bit bigger and with a cool inlay.

Yeah I think that's the best bet. I'm hoping to try out am ESP LTD EC 401 as the VF sunburst model looks lovely and comes in 22 fret. Seems to address some of the issues I have with LP style as well as it has some comfort contours which should also reduce the weight a bit, and a nicer neck heel...

:D not quite, born in 88. I have my first kid on the way in february so I'm not anticipating having any free time for a while and will have to cut down on band practices as well! Hence why I want the odd bit of time I do get to play to be enjoyable rather than full of niggling annoyances. The...

I'm not a massive fan of the looks of the S2 series but the S2 singlecut looks pretty good! I don't like the pickguard on most of them. Edit - I am however thinking that a newer model LP Studio faded with the weight relieved body might do the job for me as well. Apart from the edge digging into...

added tldr :weebz: Being a teenager of the nu-metal era I've always had a bit of a thing for PRS guitars. I've liked all of those that I've played in the past, the necks are very comfy. I'm past the point of caring about the lawyer/snorkeldick image and just want a quality guitar which is...

The wah is already gone, I only use it as a crutch for boring leads anyway.

Potentially something very silly :weebz: Sold off my Pearl Les Paul, it was a particularly heavy one and I never wanted to play it any more despite how nicely it played and sounded. Got sick of the edge digging into my forearm all the time as well. This is now my only "proper" electric guitar...

I'm actually wondering whether an "orange in a box" like the EQD Monarch would do me better... Or perhaps just get an orange micro dark :D

I think my Laney should be ok, doesn't seem too sensitive anyway. Cheers for the suggestions thus far. I'd seen the Pharoah mentioned before on TGP but the demo videos don't really do much for me. I think I'd rather stick to non-boutique at this stage tbh as I think a lot of fuzz ends up...
