Has anyone used any of the blackstar HT series amps?

I recently bought an Orange Dual Terror with a orange 2*12 open back. I havent tried it at higher volumes with my SG yet but I used it on rehearsal with my Suhr S1 and it sounded amazing. Texas blues, rock and metall all sounded great. Very articulate, organic and dynamic sound.

Flatter radius actualy make it possible to make wide bends with low action.

I´m sure you´re right. I was only speculating.

Thanks, I´ll try it next time I change strings.

Good to hear =) I think you´ve been lucky.

@80LPC Yeah, I´m certian its a true dead spot. It´s the note thats dead, not a postion on the neck. If I press the head of the guitar at a table lightly when the note rings it sustains great. Thanks for the link. The link, and the fact that all five cherry standards I´ve tried have had the same problem lead me to belvie that this is not an uncommon problem. My guess is that the mass and maybe the shape of the sg leads to that frequency often being cancelled out. Strangly enough its not as noticeble on the b string. Luckily I´m not bothered by it anymore. If it had been just MY SG then Í would be pretty upset.

Mine is in that area as well. I think F# is the worst, But F and G are affected to. My guess is that when you changed strings you altered the mass of the guitar, moving the dead spot i bit. Are the same notes affected when you play with a slide?

So if the intonation isnt correct that can affect dead spots? I thought that dead spots were caused by the wood in the guitar was resonating at the same frequancy as some notes, and that caused the string vibration energy to transfer to the wood making the note die faster. The intonation is a little off though, so I might fix that. Other than that I think it´s set up nice. I dont wanna mess with it. It doesnt bother me much any more though, to my experience it seem to be a very common problem with sg´s. But it would be nice if it werent there. I thought all guitars had dead spots, more or less prominent?

My current sg standard has a dead spot on F#, its most prominent on the g string. I had one before wich I got replaced due to a waped neck, and it also had the same dead note. It seems to me to be a quite common problem with sg´s since i´ve tried two other sg cherry standards with the exact same problem. I´ve tried two sg´s wich didnt have this dead note, a gothic (i think? all black with emg pickups) and a special faded. Anyways, have anyone else noticed this?
