Thank ya kindly gents. Haven't had a chance to really crank it up properly yet (for some reason 100 watt Laneys in 3rd floor apartments of a house don't seem to go over too well :twisted:), but first impressions at bedroom volume are that it's gonna be fairly versatile.
The HD in series is bright, yet still warm and tight, and doesn't want to stop sustaining. I think it was a good choice for some additional low end (I like some girth to my sound) and while I was worried about it possibly having a hard mid tone, I'm enjoying the warmth and growl that it's giving me and thankfully not very hard mids at all (at least to my ears). Switch to parallel and you get a nice vintage sounds from it.
The Trilogy is freakin' HUGE!!! Warm and beefy sound while still maintaining a distinct (almost vintage) SC sound. Amazing. Liquid fluidity when playing solos. Hit a chord and almost fell off the stool! LOL! In the middle position with both pups running, it has a somewhat Tele flavor to it.......
I wasn't able to get a really good shot of the flaming in the body but my bud Dave who installed the pups got a couple of good shots before it was all assembled.....
