Wanted to try out a PRS Studio last month. Shop assistant asked what amp I was using - as they do not stock Cornfords (Hellcat) he set me up with a Dual Rec (why?).
Because he didn't know what the Hellcat was, didn't want to let on and took a gamble.
:D You could be right. I still bought the PRS even though it sounded s**t through that amp (ashamed) :oops: :oops:
Course, another part to it, is that simply to tons of folks anything ever described as "hi gain" is interchangeable. Virtually ALL tech riders I get for my festival, and we're talking about from the bigger bands, folks that have been about for twenty years, have loads of albums and play BIG shows, specify things like "Mesa Boogie Dual Rectifier, Marshall JCM800 or Peavey 5150" - Not exactly similar sounding amps.
