Re: Who has tried both the lil 59 and the cool rails?
I've tried both and they are very similar to each other. They both sound great clean and split. In fact the differences are very subtle. I prefer the Cool Rails for a couple of reasons. First, I like the look of the rails design. Second, it seemed to handle high gain a little better. The Little 59 seemed to be a bit weaker under heavy gain than the Cool Rails.

Re: Who has tried both the lil 59 and the cool rails?
I've tried them both, and kept the Cool Rails also. In fact, bought two more for a complete set. But I loved the Lil 59 also. The only reason I didn't keep it is because I thought it did a good job of sounding like a full-sized 59, and I've already got a pair of those.
Oddly, I didn't think they sounded the same at all. To me, the Lil 59 had a warm, smooth character to it, while the Cool Rails had a definite punch to it that I love. They're both great pups, but I think the CR edges the 59 out for unique character and style.
