I have been using a THD Univalve lately. Minimal parts in the circuit for maximum touch sensitivity. Power amp roar and crunch. Turn it up to infinite sustain and control everything with the guitar. Tight as a Hiwatt. More harmonics in phase than a Vox. Cuts better than a Marshall.

Midrange makes a amp more difficult to play. Turning the midrange down makes for a easier feel.

I had a similar experience with my Sig X. It felt under gained. The issue turned out to be the bias in the poweramp was set too low. Once it was set to the recommended bias the feel and sound all came back.

Pretty much all the Fryette amps are slight variations of 4 preamp. 2 clean. All the amps have one or the other. The UL II is going to have both. 2 high gain. The Deliverance is based on the lower gain / more bass of the two high gain. All of them have The same amount of gain that are based on...

I have played on several Tone King amps. First time I saw inside of one. They are very much vintage style amps.

In general I think it is crap. But there is some very interesting parts done by everyone. Some of the phrasing in the guitar sounded very familiar. Sounds like a Stratocaster and fuzz box.

Celestion told me their speakers can handle twice what they are rated. It just won't last very long.

I sometimes question how much difference is there between a single coil and humbucker. A lot less than I want to believe.

Congratulations I was looking at this the other day.

I don't like X pattern at all. Currently I have G12K-85 and G12H-75 creamback mixed with Vintage 30.

This is the one I use most.

I really like the DOD Carcosa. Covers a lot of range. It just sounds good. I like Big Muff pedals too. Pretty much like most fuzz pedals. Fuzz can mean a lot of things. It can get pretty extreme. Some amps can do fuzz with no pedals. Anyone into the Fuzz Factory ?

My experience has been similar. As far as the rest goes it's subjective.
