Yep I'm much more a rock than metal guy and so my MCII is king, but damn this MTL is good. I find with some knob twiddling, and keeping the mids up it's not too scooped. But if you want ballsy, cutting mids I don't think the MC can be beaten.
Nice production/recording and fun riffs.
Ha thanks man. Having a great amp and cab make recording fun and fast. Way back in my teen years I couldn't understand why my Ibanez into Peavey didn't sound killer in recordings...Sounds great! Finally a Wizard clip that rocks
The Radio RiotsBTW - can't figure out how to post an iPhone clip here but you can go to the Wizard Group Facebook page and check out a clip I just posted from our gig last Saturday at Cazadero's in Estacada, OR....worth it for the Jazzercise patron dancing alone
The Radio Riots - MC25 > Mather vert 2x12, playing my Hamer Korina Special, I'm Mr Clean
Aw man thanks for the tech hand here! That song is a gas to play and the little MC25 is just crushing it for this stuff and these sized rooms. That lady was on fire all night, the air guitar going off back in the bar was epic as well....we're living the Golden Age of Amps, your room is proof of that! Nice clips you've got happening, keep em' coming!
Other option I’m considering is getting the newer 100 watt version of the Freyette Power Station and just using that to ramp up the MC25 when needed....I scored a first run Keeley Katana clean boost and have been hitting the front end of the MC25 with killer result, it sounds awesome....
Yes a PS2A - but only for turning things down! I'm sure it'll do fine job of turning up but never actually had the need.
Just a thought (though you probably already know this) - the full size Wizards are less than 6" wider than the 25, so not a big space saving
Hahah yep already did the measurements and the math...I’m plotting ? Another Mather cab is in the works, same dimensions as a Bogner OS 2x12 but with no valance, angled up baffle and black / white piping color scheme..it’s full sized head width....the updated version MC25 is supposed to be here today so we’ll see where that takes things...stereo MC25’s wouldn’t be a bad thing hahaha.Just a thought (though you probably already know this) - the full size Wizards are less than 6" wider than the 25, so not a big space saving
Sounds good.
Agreed, the MCII is a beast and has that superb bite that I think is unique to it. I know it's loosely based on a Jubilee but it crushes my 2555x, it's not even close.
I didn't buy the MTL for classic tones, was just pleasantly surprised at how well it can do them! Would love to try a VC one day but have a few old Marshalls that I'm not sure can be beaten.
Thanks. My Page comment was about me ripping of his licks, not his tone
Got my new(er) MC25 yesterday...its pretty badass and for sure is a bit a different beast than my first one. It's voiced a bit different, seems a bit smoother in the drive dept, maybe not as aggressive as the 1st version. The rhythm channel has been substantially helped and re-voiced, the black cat mod is killer; It's voiced brighter now too, running the rear bright control almost off now. Another killer Wizard amp. Other guitar player in my band will likely end up with my first one, I can see selling that and my Bogner 3534 and chasing down an MCII 50. We're back Saturday at the same club we played on Halloween so I'll get a chance to see how it does live....Just a thought (though you probably already know this) - the full size Wizards are less than 6" wider than the 25, so not a big space saving
I think MTL2 can do any gain tones , I’m biased . It’s my favorite. But it truly is special.
