Yes. And I forgot how much chorus he used on leads back in the 80s! I love his playing, but the sound is horrendous.
Strongly disagree. It may sound a bit dated, but at the time it was glorious. The outro to Rosanna is not horrendous tone. 🙂

In the link from Bakersounds there's a video link to Rosanna with just the guitar tracks. Note how much of the low end is missing. A great example of a tone that sounds great in the mix but would probably sound a bit too trebly by itself.
In modern times he's using a Bogner XTC I think.
If you only play LP guitars and don't want to split or add an EQ before the fuzz then that's your tonal limit. Great sounds, but unlikely to get you authentic Strat sounds.
I'm sorry but I have a powerhead, for 10 yead now...
I meant the amp stage of the signal processing chain.
You know your sound best.
that's highly subjective - I never heard a split humbucker I liked and removed all these 'features' from my guitars.
If I want a singlecoil, I use a real singlecoil.
We'll have to disagree. When my Anderson splits, it also changes the pot value, so it doesn't sound like a Strat with a LP tone pot. I don't think you'd be able to tell the difference between my Strat and my H-H-H Anderson in a blind test. 😉
The OP said he only wants to use the one guitar BTW.
Try an EQ in front of the Amp stage, to shape your tone as much like a Strat as possible. That way the amp and the fuzz will respond more like the original.
It's really a shame to have a LP without a coil split option. There's a whole world of tones out of reach that can be had with a tiny little mod.
This is really cool gizmo that I have installed on most of my H-H guitars. You can experiment with switching caps on the fly. I really dig the .0047, gives a soft cocked wah sound and keeps everything from getting too dark.
My Tele has a push/pull tone knob with 2 different cap values. I love it!
You can tell it to stop asking about Windows 11, but still keep Windows 10 updated (recommended).
If you have no specific reason to upgrade, I wouldn't. I'm still running 10, but several of the users at work prefer 11.
I would be cautious swapping out the stock power supply with anything other than the recommended specs from a warranty perspective.
As I always say - it's all about foh and what the audience hears. I'll then work backward from there to get the best monitoring I can.
I'm often singing as well, so I don't want my guitar blasting my head off or creating mic feedback. I want to hear a nice balance of the whole band.
For me it has to be a really weird room for me to not run stereo. Say what you will, but it just sounds better and more interesting with at least some stereo effects.
well here it go...

What is this video supposed to represent, other than someone playing guitar?
All people are asking for is some proof that what is being sold is authentic. For someone that claims to be profiling dozens of amps it shouldn't be difficult to show pictures of at least a couple of them being profiled. The responses seem vague and defensive rather than simply showing proof.
I've just noticed something else, because of my 500k volume pot (Its a HSS strat so I need that 500k for the bridge humbucker) its making my single coils very bright, hence why it sounds like that in the first few clips.
I'm going to try putting in a resistor so the single coils see 250k, which should help get some warmth back into the neck pickup. Bridge will stay at 500k. Relatively cheap and easy little trick which will probably help.
I'm pretty sure that's what Anderson does on their guitars. They have great balance between the single coils and HB.
I thought the Kemper fuzz was the best Octavia since it's a newer addition and sounds fantastic to me. Sorry for the incorrect information. I'll have to try the old Octa Shaper then.
Kemper Fuzz nails it. 🙂
That's fantastic news! Thanks Kemper!!
I've always found Friedmans to have a tighter and less present low end and a sweet high end, just like the video. Maybe try rolling off some bass to tighten things up?
I don't hear this as a Marshall sound, but it's similar.
