Epiphone Sg Red

Epiphone LP securely fits snugly in this gigbag.

Great case. Fit's my Epiphone ES335-Pro perfectly. Love it.

These mics did not astound me. They did not turn my $250 Epiphone acoustic into a $2500 Gibson J45. I did not sound like Frank Sinatra. They did not improve my gas mileage. BUT; they sounded awesome. These are not the Ferrari or Mercedes of the mic world; these are WORKHORSES. They sound rich, thick, syrupy and smooth while sounding clear and articulate. They ROCK on guitar cabs and sound fantastic in blumlein for singer/songwriter in-the-room sound. If you want a $4000 mic that gets used once in a while, this ain't it. If you want a great value on a pair of mics that you'll use on every single session, these babies are it!

I primarily shoot in the studio and I use both this grey balance card and SG. Works great.

I have used this paper for a long time with good results. I tried the PP301 paper and had poor results so went back to using the SG-201 paper and back to nice results.

Great contrasty little stripbox that works with hot lights (or strobe) up to 1000 watts. Not sure if it accepts grids, but it may be possible. I use it with the SG-710 and SG-720s to great effect. The speedrings also work with other softboxes, but make sure they're heat resistant.

The Canon Semi-gloss Photo Paper is the best paper I've used for this price range. I've used it for an exhibition, sold prints printed on this paper, family photos, etc, when art papers weren't practical. The Canon Pixma Pro printers can only make borderless prints with their own brand photo papers, using their Print Studio Pro plugin, which gives it an advantage over other papers. Colors print well on the paper, but not as vibrant as the fine art papers I've used. Compared with the glossy photo paper also sold by Canon, the SG paper has the right amount of gloss. The printed photo doesn't come out as reflective as the glossy paper, which in my opinion, makes it better to put on display or in places with stronger lighting. The SG paper is very lightly textured, which makes it a good all-purpose paper. I've first used this paper a year ago, and it's still my first option when it comes to prints! Below are some photos I've printed, angled on purpose to show how much reflection there is from the cheap fluorescent lighting in my...office. The light is more diffused on the SG paper but sharp on the glossy.

I literally was pushed to my limit trying to get even light on a ColorChecker Digital SG before this octabox. First shot with this octabox was nailed -- no unwanted glare or reflections on the outer grey squares and the lighting was even as could be expected for shooting at an angle. I also tried a few pictures of a person with wrinkles. It seemed easy to minimize them with the 2 diffusers. I have not tried the deflector set yet. I thought the assembly was easy. I like that I can collapse it for storage without disassembly but I have not tried that yet.

The Smart Generator Adaptor (SGA) works!! The SGA allows a DC to DC Fast Charge between the Delta Pro 3 (DP3) and the Smart Generator (SG). With the SGA the integration of the SG and the DP3 is complete. With automations and or App settings the SG will auto start to charge the DP3. I especially like the “smart functions” of the generator through the SGA that controls the generator RPM. As the unit approaches the designated SoC the generator begins throttling back to cool the generator before turning itself off when the DP3 reaches the designated charge level. Well worth the investment!

I have been and continue to be impressed with Canon SG-201. My customers are equally impressed with printed delivery of images on this paper. End the end, this is so important.
