I just got a 2019 Quickrod 100. I much prefer the 100 to the 50. Even this head full power compared to half power. I find the full power hsd such a fatter, fuller, and smoother tone. Feels better to me as well. Similarly I much prefer 412 cabs to 212 cabs. It's not even close to my ears and...
I've tried to avoid sound men for thr most part.
Many of our gigs we didn't mic the guitar, we used stage volume, so not going thru the PA. That worked the best.
So wait, has he gotten into fitness or bodybuilding? I've been training my entire life and Malmsteen is that last person I think of when it comes to the gym.
I hate that question. When I had more guitars in my younger days I got that question all the time. Now, I'd rather have more amps than guitars. With LPs, no matter how many I had, I always favored one, so I sold the others. When I got divorced (thank God) I was in a really tough financial spot...
Old thread but always a fun topic.
After all these years, I need Electro Harmonix EL34s in my amps. They just have a feel and aggression I can't find elsewhere. The biggest thing is feel. It's like the notes are more pliable and the amp is more fun to play.
Napalm, thanks bro.
I got to check out a 5150IIIS EL34 and love it. Getting one.
It reminds me of an old Marshall in the organic and natural feel of it, but Hella aggressive and modernized with a touch of Soladano. Hard to explain but very aggressive, organic feel, yet amazing harmonic...
Sounds like a lot of you find the Helios Eclipse too noisy, and losses the magic of the original? I'd prefer good channel switching options.
I like aggressive amps and this is one of the few Bogners I hear that is aggressive.other than the Uber.
That said, I do love my Bogner Shiva.
I've...
I also didn't know the Deluxe amps were designed to be more aggressive.
I'm assuming some of you find that increase in aggression to destroy the great tone of the BE.
Dave claims the BE-50 Deluxe is the best amp he's built. Depends what he means by best amp.
Interesting how some people can love an amp and some hate an amp. One man's aggression is another man's polite.
I'm in the market to add an amp to my stable, this summer and the BE-50 Deluxe is on my list, along with the Bogner 3534 50w, Diezel D-Mol, and EVH 5150 III EL34. I really like the...
After many years, my current go to chorus/flange pedal is the Catalinbread Callisto MKII. Excellent pedal!
It doesn't do jet flange but it will do amazing chorus into great flange territory without full on jet flange. It lives in that beautiful space between chorus and flange. It just sounds and...
I will say that not all Marshall based amps are dark and smooth. My Shiva 20th with EL34s is angry and pissed of and plenty bright. I have to pull back the treble.
What's the live of the EL34II? More fullness?
I did have JJ 6CA7 tubes in my Shiva but have switched to EH EL34s because to me they sound warm and vintage with aggression in the mids. Sounds angry.
The 6CA7s were more 6L6 sounding with lows and extended highs. Not as aggressive in the mids.
I'm not sure. My buddy ordered a Nitro with a lot of options like the B+ but was hoping it would have a master volume.since it doesn't he uses the loop master but it works great.
