Title: Schematics for "Suhr" sound amps
Post by: Leevi on September 29, 2010, 12:00:46 am: I'm looking for schematics for the amps that produce so called Suhr-sound.
What is characteristic for that type of amps?

Think they use the London power scaling control to control output and wattage.

Yes, but that is only on the Badger amps. The other amps have a traditional power amp stage.

There's no Suhr sound. The Badger line is from the Marshall 18-wattt school; the CAE use differently voiced channels, from Fender BF cleans to Marshall plexi-style crunch. Some models include Soldano-like big bad overdrive.

A crap geetar player can make a $3000 amp sound like crap.

That amp sounds good but most of the mojo is in the guys fingers if I played that set up it would not sound as good.
