Do you like the Kemper?  

Travis L.

Very nice dude!!! very clean!

AK

Thank you. I really like the Kemper, I use it when I want to record stuff because I kinda suck at mic'ing amps. But when I play in the room i use the actual amps. I'm sure you can get nice sounds out of Kemper as well live, but I haven't fiddled much with that yet.

For sheer tone the guitar I always go back to is my Jackson Surfcaster. It cuts through like a tele on speed. Love it.

Cool guitar Luke, I have never seen one before.

This one is a tough question to answer, especially considering that I'm quite new to the mesa. I think it is quite different than the ENGL and the Diezel, however, I also feel that they would match great when played together. Mesa has definitely less low-end when compared to Diezels and the Savage and it has less gain. But not in a bad way. Firstly, I think it has enough gain to begin with and also the EQ adjustments are very sensitive, so Im sure there are many tones that I haven't found yet. I can describe the Mesa tone as a very percussive feeling which I really like. It can have very strong treble but again not in a disturbing way. I also tried using an Empress paraEQ with it, which adds a whole lot of more options. What I managed to get out of the Mesa is mainly old Metallica tones (which I was aiming for anyway) so I can describe it best that way. But I know Lamb of God used Mark IV's as well so I am sure it can move into the modern metal zone as well. Overall, the amp has many many different sounds and settings. I definitely love the mesa. It can do things much differently than other amps.

Awesome explorer. Is that ESP MX 220 on the left?

AK

Thanks a lot. White is an MX250, black one is an EXP from '98.

Is that the 12 string version?

My Custom Shop KH-2 Neck Thru (2003) is probably the best guitar I own.

Amp is a difficult one, I always loved my ENGL E670 SE EL34, but I've just picked up a Mesa Mark V - loving it.

ESP 348

I love ALL my KH guitars and it's very hard to pick just one.

But if I have to I would say my KH-20 is my favourite guitar and I love my new-to-me Mesa Dual Recto.

That KH-20 is a good looking guitar. 

ESP 348

Definitely, I just need to take better pics of mine in particular. lol.

I have been thinking about getting the Gibson Hammett Signature V  or a KH-1 if I could find one. 

ESP 348

I own the KH1 and I reckon it's an awesome guitar to look at, but I don't like playing it at all. lol

I looked at, played and considered buying a Gibson Hammett V many years ago.

Again, awesome guitar to look at but I just don't like the feel of V shaped guitars so I never purchased the Gibson Hammett V.

The only reason I purchased my KH1 was to have it to complete my KH collection of guitars, otherwise I would have never bought one.

Here is an old pic of my KH1.

 

 

themisfit138

Yeah you are probably right, I have sold off all of the Gibson Vs I have owened, I just don't like the play of them as compaired to the Exlporer or KV. They do look good though.  

ESP 348

Cool man, I love them but don't like playing them. Sounds like you love them also and did play them, but not as much as your other guitars.

Breadfan32

Love that KH 20!  

ESP 348

Thanks man, I need to hurry up and take some good pics of my guitars again.

That is the only pic I have of my KH-20 when it arrived, used my iPhone and it's an average pic.

I can't wait to take some nice pics using my DSLR. That guitar is amazing in person.
