I’m new here so I wanted to show my latest guitar addition. I play a little bit of everything, but I have a real passion for Sunn stuff and baritone instruments. My wife got me this Gretsch CVT baritone for my birthday this year, and I love it.

I also do a lot of pedal demos for fun, so I’ll probably post some video in the near future as I can.

Nice baritone! What music do you play? And what do you like about Sunn amps? Sunn O))) the band comes to mind.

Thanks! I play lots of stuff, but I really love playing heavier music, country, and experimental music.

Sunn originally got me with the aesthetics, but I think there are some unexplored modern things that can still be done with their gain sounds. I’d much rather pursue those sounds than simply grabbing a 5150 and calling it a day (though I do still want a 5150 someday).

SunnO))) is a great band. I actually discovered them after the amps, so they were a pleasant surprise to me. They’re especially fun to listen to while driving through a thunderstorm.

Thanks! They aren’t gold foil pickups. Just whatever the stock humbuckers are that they put in the new budget guitars. I’ve never had something with gold foil pickups before, but I would really love to try some out soon.

I don’t speak French well enough to know exactly what you’ve said, but thank you! I’m a big fan of Gretsch baritones as well. This one is the second I’ve had and I’m blown away by how good it has been.

I adore Gretsch. I love their sound and I find them magnificent. Your setup must be a true pleasure to play!

I have the same blue tc pedal and I do not have the skill to justify owning it. But MAN does it sound heavenly.

It's weird that your amps look 2 dimensional.

It was my first delay pedal. I parted ways with it on my journey toward the Thermae, but when I finally got a Thermae I realized I missed the TC and so I found another one. They’re so great.

It’s the .5x camera. It was the only way to get a somewhat aesthetic view of my basement. Here’s a more inclusive family photo that I took before I got the Orange head.

Love the gear! I see you've got an Orange Super Crush, I bet it sounds massive through those Sunn cabs.

Thanks! It’s certainly thick sounding.

Such a tiny guitar, about as big as two pedals.

Tap for spoiler

I know it's an artifact rectilinear ultra-wide angle lens you used, but looks funny.

Thanks! If you ever get a chance to grab an Alpha mixer of any kind they’re unbelievable as amps.
