Uber Rev Blue is underrated. I liked it more than the old Rev Green I had and Uber Ultra I had recently. Wish I still had it.

My basement. Old house, rural property. Good jam room. :)

Got my JVM 210 for a song and it has stuck around, because it is a great amp! Like @DanTravis62 said, it is absolutely a "modern Marshall" and it can absolutely do that type of sound, but with some tweaking it is pretty versatile!

1) Wizard MCII KT150: Really love all my Wizards, but if I had to keep one, this would be probably better it. Clear, percussive, punchy and can get absolutely pummeling with that KT88 power section. The almost acoustic-ish response to picking works well with my playing. 2) Bogner ecstasy 101b...

FullShred is essentially a Duncan Custom, with an A5 magnet and two rows of short Allen head screws. Both the Full Shred and Custom 5 have been called scooped before. The Custom (ceramic magnet) is not as scooped as either of those, although like I said, it definitely doesn't have hyped mids.

@shar-vell Dan pretty well nailed it! Big, tight, chunky bottom end attack, aggressive mids, but in a broad sense, as they don't have an upper mid hype. I would also agree with him on the "in the right guitar" comment.....they really are A++++ in the right guitar. Nothing like a JB or...

Multi-watt is a great amp. I picked one up for a good price a few months ago, after not having a Recto for years. Really digging it! Compared to my old Rev G dual I have owned, it is a bit tighter and less scooped....kinda how the 90's Rec is a bit tighter and more mid aggressive than the...

I have a few I really like. #1 is still likely my old '99 Recto cab overall. Also love my Bogner Helios cab w/ greenbacks Marshall jcm 800 cab w/ old g12t-75's Diezel FL with V30's Honorable mentions would be Uber cabs (had front and rear load....both are awesome! Actually may have to get...

I didn't find it to be like the JB or Distortion. Kind of its own thing. Less upper mid attack than either the JB or Distortion. Low-end chunk more like a Custom.

It is versatile in how you can dial it in, in the context of modern, high gain Uber tones. While it does have a clean/crunch mode, it absolutely will not replace an Ecstasy, if you want those tones + feel. Not saying do, it is just that when I got my Uber Ultra, I was hoping it could cop some...

This one does indeed bring the neo soul....

Thanks man! It is pretty understated, but that is really what I wanted. If you start to get tops like @LP Freak beautiful Steckel model he posted, then yes, the price gets steeper. I say steeper, because even though a very appointed Knaggs is not cheap, they don't get in to literal car prices...

I love my PRS's and was considering the 594. I ended up custom ordering a Knaggs Kenai in white, with an ebony board, black binding and BK poly-paf pickups for cheaper than I would have been able to get a plain off the shelf 594 for. Awesome sounding/playing guitar....every bit as good as a core...

Very very cool! I am a newbie to speakers from that era, but I recently picked up a Canadian 2204 with matching cab that came with the old vented G12t-75 speakers.....wow, do they sound good...and quite different to the newer ones, as has been discussed. Are there similarities between the old...

He is talking about the Wizard Rock Standard, which I also own. More punch, more clarity. Wizards have this over most amps, one of their hallmarks. Better feel (to me.....the RS feels like a hot plexi, which I prefer!) And waaaay more ways to sculpt your tone.
