I've had a Sr Head for about two weeks now. I think i like it more each day as I get more used to it.
I must admit that when I first plugged it in I was less than blown away, not nearly as religious an experience as when I played my Ghia the first time (but i think the Ghia being my first Z experience skewed the results). But the longer i play it, with different guitars, etc Im starting to think (and blasphemously so) that I like it more than the Ghia. The one gig i've played with it so far was through a Twin Reverb with Weber Signatures in it, and it cut like butter all night, my wife even commented that she's never heard me sound so good, now i'd like to believe I was on that night but I do believe the Maz was really pulling for me!
At any rate I have just a few questions / observations for you more experienced SR owners.
- Is it normal to turn the Cut all the way down when you dime the Volume? Even with humbuckers the highs seem too much with the cut on above 7oclock or so.
- Im using a new avatar 2x12 with a V30 and G12H30, and the bass response just seems WAY to much with the bass knob on anything but 7-8 oclock. Granted i've only used this setup in my padded room (not sure if this would have an effect) but im a bit worried that this cab is not a great fit for this head in that department, other than that I love this cab/speaker combination.
- and third, what a versatile amp! It takes all my guitars well.
I'll chime in again when the honeymoon has worn off and tell you guys how much i still love this amp!
