Langner Fans?

[gtrwun]

I thought this was about the Langner?

 

[Shark Diver]

So, for those in the know -


I have an original CAE 3+ (not the SE)
and an X88

Where does the Langner fit in/

 

[wheelman]

I'd really like to hear any clips from these.

Langner voicing is more sharp and vicious. Better for heavier styles. CAE 3+/X88 for lighter styles, still within the hard rock realm.

He lives down the road from me here in Florida.. he used to be affiliated with blue angel music here in pensacola... he is making and selling pedals for them I think..

I've seen the inside of a Marshall he modded and all I could say was

Messy. Very messy.

Agreed.

What counts is if it sounds good. The Metalhead mods are much worse.

True. I just can't live with myself if I let an amp out the door with ugly work done to it though. I'm always paranoid some tech down the road is gonna open the amp for some reason and just be like

Sort of like your mom making you wear clean underwear in case you got rushed to the hospital? We wouldn't want the ER staff to see them skid marks...

Todd used cheeseboard for his circuits, but the preamp is simple, active EQ, effective, quiet and switches without any latency. It's packed with vintage components and 5 NOS Telsa Rosnov pre's, This thing owns.

You need to get over the aesthetics dude.

Those 32 code Teslas have been my fav in V1 for about 7 years now.

Thanks for the info.

I think for heavier styles I'm going to talk Mike out of that "pedal" in his avatar

They have become quite rare and expensive as hell too, Gary. Most availability seems to be a few ebay shops in Turkey or Ukraine, which I don't trust at all. The triodes and filament are just like the Tungsram, but with a bigger bottle, like a Tung Sol. Yeah, I like them too and have a couple others in a Marshall and a Mesa. They work really well in the IIC+ and in V1 of the modded Marshall's.

My Ghetto Blaster Rig for this weekend....ready to roll on.

Langner Elite preamp into the FX return of a Cameron 50 watt Jose. Wah and Boss DD3 in front of the preamp. Boss switcher to engage the boost circuit on the Langner. Running through a Marshall HW with H30's. Purrs like a kitten and roars like a lion.

You may ask yourself, why the 50 watt Cameron for power? Glad you asked.....1) 50 watts, 2) the insert loop is post master, so there is no volume control at the power amp and all levels are handled at the preamp which is fucking awesome, 3) if needed, I can switch to the front end of the Cameron head with the settings already preset without missing too many beats.

Then you have the Creator preamp

Yeah, I searched through that ad-nauseum post on here from a couple years ago, with everyone arguing which is which. Whichever it is, it is a kick ass preamp. Plenty of nice, smooth gain on tap, great EQ and the boost function with the EQ control makes this preamp very tasty. I think it has a clean channel, but I couldn't be arsed with that....

I believe your thinking of John Landgraff

 

[JTyson]

I figured you'd like that thing.. It's hard not to like
One of my favorite things I'd never sell. The mid knob is absolutely mind boggling
Really cool score Steve
