My 5070 takes about 7-8 minutes for training an extended capture. I can do about 7 captures in an hour from turning the amp on to being done.

I have been liking the pair of Karnivores I got the other day. Darker than a Celestion, which sounds great to me as I find many Celestions have a nasal fizz that drives me crazy.

These are the days when I think I should just sell all the old stuff and stick with the Fractal. The Block Library capability alone is probably enough to swear off any special mojo. Yeah, if there was a 1-rack space Fractal unit with analog dry through the size of my old Intellifex, it would be...

I keep my old 2-channel Triple in Tube Rectifier mode most of the time. I know that goes against the internet, but I find it just chugs better. Diode is almost too tight on my amp.

I was wondering what he was using in this. I see 2 Rectifier stacks, but I hear a Boss Metal Zone into the PA.

That is how I feel. I think some of these older rack units just have good sounds. I always think the Fractal stuff should be the best, but there is always something 'neutral' about them that can make them boring sounding. But damn, if the convenience of modern editors and things like block...

I keep thinking about getting one of these also. One of the few pedals I know of that have delay and Reverb in parallel with an analog dry through.

Interesting as he has never really been known for using 5150s. Like 4-5 years ago he posted pics of a modded Marshall he had from Fortin. I am not sure if Fortin made him a new one, or restored his old #1 he got back a few years ago. I figured he captured it and used that as his main tone.

I will probably just play them. Something I have done in the past is set up my Axe FX to send a 20hz signal through the speakers for a few hours. Just enough I can see the cone moving back and forth, but you cant really hear it.

I hear the same fizz in the presence I hear in T75s.

I grabbed a pair of 8 last night. When I bought them Sweetwater was out of 16 and only had five 8 left.

Funny, because I also thought it sounded like a V30/T75 mix.

I think they sound good, so I ordered a pair today. I think John's video makes the V30 sound like a megaphone next to the Karnivores.

All of the videos I saw today sounded really good. I will wait for a more modern high gain Marshall module that hopefully they will do. This sounds great for 60's and 70's though.

How do you know it was the 5153? I thought he used a profile of his Marshall that Fortin restored? I wonder if he will switch to ToneX or Neural QC.
