Five presets from glass clean to saturated screamer. Henderson drives the amp — minimal pedals, all gain from the EL34 power section. Volume knob is the primary gain control. Bass always low. Get the midrange from the guitar's tone knob.

Five presets from session shimmer to Hendrix supernova. Landau keeps the amp surgically clean and does everything with pedals. SD-9 with tone almost off and level dimed. AC+ always on as a clean boost. The polar opposite of Henderson — same amp, completely different philosophy.

Henderson and Landau merged into one rig. Six presets from session clean to Hendrix psychedelic. Every setting optimised for ML Standard pickups. Full pedalboard with switching combinations — clean platform amp with pedals doing the work, or flip to Henderson mode for amp-driven gain.

Seven tones nobody asked for. The sounds that live in the gaps between genres — self-oscillating fuzz into bit-crushers, barber pole phase illusions, ring-modulated industrial chaos, and vowel-morphing ghost choirs. Every Strymon machine you’ve never touched. Every pedal abused.

Five Shades of Purple Haze. The Badger 18's EL84s and tube rectifier sag are the secret weapon — spongey, saggy, natural compression that blooms when you push it. From Little Wing clean to Star Spangled Cosmos full psychedelic. Henderson's amp gain meets Landau's effects meets Hendrix's controlled chaos.

Five definitive presets, one locked amp. The Badger 18 power-scaled to bedroom volume — you never touch the amp. All changes come from AC+ channel switching, Mobius and Timeline presets. Silk clean → Honey breakup → Torch crunch → Blaze lead → Fever Dream psychedelic. Set and forget.

Same rig, different guitar, different universe. Five presets recalibrated for humbuckers — less bass, less mids, more treble, less gain. Glass House shimmer → Split Personality (auto-split trick) → Knuckleduster crunch → Liquid Metal lead → Event Horizon high gain.

Four worlds. Twenty tones. Henderson, Landau, Hendrix, and something that doesn't have a name yet. All power-scaled. All wet/dry through two amps. Four different amp settings for four different philosophies. SD-9, AC+, Mobius, Timeline. Set up once. Play for years.

One preset. Guitar volume does everything. At 5 it's Landau session clean. At 7 it's liquid Holdsworth sax. At 10 it's filthy Henderson crunch. Everything always on. Nothing switches. Your pinky on the volume knob does the tone. Go practice.

The deep dive. Six tubes, three jobs. Why the 5Y3GT rectifier makes it breathe. Why Power Scaling beats attenuators. Why Drive must stay within 2 of Power. Why it sounds better at bedroom volume than most amps at full blast. Written for guitarists, not engineers.

Every pedal. Every combination. Two amps. AC+ goes BEFORE the SD-9 this time — fattening the signal before it clips. Seven presets from pure silk to full entropy Event Horizon. The order change that unlocks a completely different distortion character. Holdsworth liquid, Landau session, Henderson raw, and a full gain stack that justifies owning both pedals.

Different guitar, different rules. 59/09 humbuckers with Alnico 2 magnets push harder and warmer than ML Standards — every amp and pedal setting recalibrated for mahogany body, shorter scale, and hotter pickups. Set A: full wet/dry chain. Set B: stripped back to one pedal and one amp. Eight presets that show you what the PRS can do that neither Suhr can.

Five new directions. None overlap The Definitive Four — each tone crosses two player philosophies into something new. The Confessional (2am whisper), Desert Voodoo (Uni-Vibe swagger), The Seance (Leslie chord melody), Tribal Sky Church (shimmer fusion lead), The Nocturne (one note a minute). Same rig, completely new territory.

Five tones that rip at whisper volume. Real EL84 power-tube breakup at 1–2 watts using the Power Scaling Rule: Power low, Drive within 2 of Power, Gain does what Gain does. From whisper crunch to bedroom Plexi — genuine tube compression without the neighbours calling. Start with M4 and feel the EL84s squash at conversation volume.
