Guys, we've spent considerable money converting the Les Paul Forum to this new XenForo platform, and we have ongoing monthly operating expenses. THE "DONATIONS" TAB IS NOW WORKING, AND WE WOULD APPRECIATE ANY DONATIONS YOU CAN MAKE TO KEEP THE LES PAUL FORUM GOING! Thank you!
Funny enough, my 30 watt CP30 has more of the 100 watt feel than my 50 watter. I think there may be something about 4 power tubes that gives a certain feel…
I’m a huge Pete Townshend fan (hence my love of the CP circuit), but the SAP and JP’s can get you close. The SAP and Lead circuits are a little more Marshall flavored, with a touch more gain on tap, and I got the SAP for variety’s sake. The JP is closer to the original Hiwatt DR circuit...
Me! I have a CP30, a Lowatt SAP combo, a CP103, and a Lowatt CP combo on the way. And an original ‘75 Hylight Hiwatt DR-504, but I almost always play the Hi-Tones instead. Best amps made today. I have a bunch of other amps sitting around it that I’ll plug into sometimes, but after a few...
I’ve noticed that every single one of your posts involves you poo-pooing other people and then taking exception to the “few times” you come around these parts. What’s wrong…not potty trained in the real world? Have to come here for your poos?
$400 for a vintage-correct bridge (originals fetch far more!) isn’t all that nuts. People dump way more money than this into pedals that end up making them sound worse.
Yeah, this is sorta fucked up, but methinks the only reason this is getting global attention (specifically Rolling Stone) is due to Clapton’s recent perceived transgressions re:Covid.
Remind me never to sell my old Clapton boots!
Think so? I’m not sure. I mean, both are obviously British, but their response, tonal spectrum, etc all are different to me. The CP especially…it’s almost more of a blackface Fender than a Marshall.
Hiwatts are criminally underrated. Marshall’s get most of the love in Les Paul circles, but I’ll take a Hiwatt over a Marshall any day. Over anything, really. Love love love them.
