Nice!

Is that PRS a semi? How do you like it? I was looking at the Hollow II when I got my guitar. The 25" fret scale is interesting.

Where's your Microverb? Is that FS5L supposed to control it (when its plugged in)?

So you picked a Black Ross - was that a tonal choice, or was the Grey just not enough better to justify the price?
I had my sustain about the same as yours, but turned it all the way down last week.

Weber's a good speaker - love an Alnico Gold/Blue or clone in a Fender!

Yeah it's the semi.....I love it man!  For 700 bucks you can't beat it!!  The stock pups aren't very good, but once I put the 59's in it...it really made it shine.   I've always wanted to get a Mcarty Hollowbody (I just prefer it over the HB II), but I decided instead of dropping all that money on one I'll just get the semi for now and save up for an Artinger or an AO.

I have the microverb velcro'd on top of my amp, and I do use the FS5L to control it.  I may end up getting a TB loop for the microverb and the whammy.

I actually like the black and gray Ross equally.  I don't really hear that much of a difference in sound, but they both have their own personality imo.  I swap them out every once in a while, just so I can get to know each of them...I know that must sound a little strange..lol.  
I used to have the volume at 12 and the sustain at 9, but for me the sweet spot is right where I have it.  When I had it the other way, I was getting way too much distortion, especially when I kicked the other screamer on.  With these settings, I can have both of them on and get that beautiful sustain that lasts for days!  I use the volume on my guitar to control the amount of dirt, as do most of us on here.  

I just got that Weber a few weeks ago and I think it's probably the best 200 bucks I've ever spent.  It really made a huuuuugge difference!!  I was a little weary at first, but I'm so glad I did it!!

Awesome rig! I myself am looking for a new speaker so I'll have to consider the Blue Dog. Did you go Alnico or Ceramic? What wattage?

Thanks guys!!  I got the Alnico 50w....I emailed Weber asking what speaker they would recommend to help with that Treyish tone, and he emailed me back recommending the Blue dog Alnico.  He was dead on!!!  It sounds amazing!!

Nice! Yeah I was thinking the Alnico 50w, my amp's a 45 watter so it works out!
