Suhr new SL68 & SL67 MkII

[woody]

No loop, no thanks Seriously tho

The obvious way to go would be a line out box and a proper WDW rig.

I'd still rather buy something "unauthentic", like a Metro-Plex.

I said that on TOP literally the only amps id spent money is Metroplex or Larry

This is ptp…

So is the Suhr. Look again, the glass fiber board is not part of the circuit at all - it's just a tidy place holder.

How so? I see an eyelet board.

Eyelets and/or turrents (SANS TRACES!) counts as PTP in the world I came from.

ymmv

The count as hand wired in mine.

As long as 98.99% of the work building up the circuit, be eyelets and/or turents, is done by human hands it will be considered hand wired.

There wasn’t a disagreement about hand wired

 

[Achilles]

Handwired = a neat way of doing PTP.

I know, just putting that out for the ones not clear about that.

On that note.

Turret Board

Eyelet Board

Both provide anchor points to solder parts to, but none of the points are connected electrically with traces.

And what is the obsession with it? I mean friedman went from hw to pcb?
Is that really worth the extra bread. Lets see Suhr SL 68 is 4400€ ….
Oh wait 1959 HW is 1999€

Or roll your own

"If you own a 59 Les Paul and play it through a 67 turret board Marshall you will reach absolute Nirvana and start speaking to God."


I find it absolutely hilarious when PTP discussions come up and the reminder gets dropped that just about every freaking iconic amp made,
including post 73 JMPs, all JCMs, the Bogner Ecstasy, Soldano SLO, Boogie IIC+, blah blah blah, are ALL printed circuit board amplifiers.

And as for that final Nirvana most wont get there no matter how much they BS themself until they work on ears and hands…

But…..Kurt didn’t use a Marshall in Nirvana.

I got the SL67 MK II a month now. What bothered me about the previous version was it had no bright cap.
Now it's got a 3-way bright switch. The Mid switches are cool to have as well. What I noticed was how good the Master Volume was.
I got the input volume at 8 and the MV at 9:00 and there is no degradation of the tone.
I put it thru a Power Station, for the Effects Loop. No attenuation. I don't hear any difference whether going thru the Power Station or bypassing it.
Whatever amp you're comparing it to, like a Friedman. Whole different sound.
