I need a degree of practicality in terms of how much gear I carry. So I need to see if there is a good solution that fits a small/medium pedalboard. I like to keep things simple for my live gigs since I perform so frequently. Economy-of-motion so everything loads in and out in just one trip.
Don't count out the Helix Stomp. Pretty great option for $500 used. All the sound and capability of Helix, but 3 buttons in a small package.

I guess if I was going to run that PRS through an amp setup, I'd run something like a Timmy low gain drive and just fatten it up with a tiny bit of grit, and perhaps delay and reverb. Tonal bliss!

I have an Analogman King of Tone. and also a Cali76 Mini Deluxe Compressor And Strymon El Capistan Delay. Good idea about the Helix Stomp. I need to check one of those out.

Ok I am attaching a video I made at home, but keep in mind I haven't really played electric guitar for over a year. So I was perhaps a bit over zealous and my touch and bends are off. But WOW!!. I love this wonderful guitar. I am totally enamored and thrilled!!

I made a demo at home really quick and should have run through more PU positions clean, but here is a video where I used the PRS 594 to create the Rhythm Loop and solo'd over it with a Cali76 Mini Deluxe Comp, Analogman King of Tone OD Pedal, Seymour Duncan Vapor Trail delay. (Fender Princeton Reverb with 12" Jupiter speaker.

Those 594s are the best Les Pauls ever made! I had one for a few months. It was a 10-top tobacco burst. A solid-body, but the semi-hollows like your's are still pretty solid - I think kind of like a tele thinline with just a bit of weight relief in the area behind the f-hole. Maybe a bit of difference in sound, but I don't think all that much.

If I was young and still played standing a lot, I'd still have it, but playing seated as I mostly do, almost every PRS (the Silver Sky being an exception) and any Les Paul is incredibly uncomfortable for me. Something about how far toward the neck they cut the "waist" means it sits on my leg in a way I have to twist around quite a bit to get to the upper frets or even to pick between the pickups rather than always hitting the neck pickup. I just couldn't get comfortable playing it so I never played it more than about 10-15 minutes at a time Fortunately I bought it used, so was able to sell it for close to what I bought it for.

Amazing guitar though - both in terms of sound and playability... Your's looks awesome - use it well!

I don't have mine anymore, but I still have pics!
