I'm going to get one at some point. It has all the tone that I want in an amp. I borrowed a friend's Deliverance II 60 a while ago and it sounded fantastic.

Amazing sounding plexi Marshall-style amp in excellent condition. Works great, no issues. There is a small blemish on the underside of the amp (pictured). I added a 4700pf ceramic capacitor as a bright cap to the Volume 1 control to give the amp the classic Marshall "kerrang" that it doesn't...

I dislike how most guitar-related YouTube channels are just commercials for products now. I understand people need to make money, but still…it’s exhausting.

I like the C45 switch 😳

Diezels are way more common in Europe though. The reverse for Boogies.

“Nice straight component leads look good but they stress the component during expansion and contraction every time the amplifier warms and cools during a power cycle. Adding some bend to your component leads is the way the military and NASA demanded their circuit boards be built.” Quarter of...

If you find a nice combination let me know. I’m planning on eventually adding a NFB pot to my vh4 so I can change the response whenever I want.

Just chiming in to say the Duncan JB is awful.

Redwirez is fantastic. I never see them mentioned. Their IR loader mixIR3 is also the best I’ve used.

I haven't owned any 50W, only 100W, but theoretically there will be less saturation at high volumes because there's more headroom available. So you're farther away from being at a volume level needed to start pushing the power tubes. As a side note, I think it can be agreed that a 50W Wizard...

This. If I have to play quietly it sounds a lot better running an amp through my Suhr RL and then into my DAW with an IR loader while I listen on headphones, vs through a cab. Quiet cab levels don’t sound as good.

How does your fiancée/wife deal with all of the gear around the house? Does she pressure you to sell it? Just curious.

I mean in terms of miking and recording. In the mix you can make it sound big if it’s recorded a certain way. In real life you’re right that it will never sound like a 4x12.

It is a combo amp with a single speaker in a small enclosure. It will never sound as big as a 4x12 unless you know what you’re doing.

Because you’re micing a small combo amp and using too much gain. You’d probably have better success with guitar sims and IRs to be honest. You want to mic a 4x12 with good speakers that should be moving air.
