I hooked up with Rick at a Cooper show a few years ago when Damon was playing guitar. He demo-ed Damons rig for me. He had two Vintage Classics...one a 50 watt and the other a 4 tube 50. He was just playing them straight in except for a Radial pedal they used for a lead boost. On stage they had plexi shields in front of his cabs (he was using two). The amps were set on 6-7 for stage volume. Standing on stage sure they were loud but it was an outdoor gig. They sounded great. Those amps do need to be turned up to get the goods, no different than any plexi style amp. During the show listening to the mix, the other gtr player was using old JMP's, Damon's parts stood out more all nite. More articulate sound for sure.Red_Label":28ip3vjs said:I was looking up some info on one of my favorite players (Damon Johnson -- Brother Cane, Slave to the System, Alice Cooper, Whiskey Falls) and I see that he's endorsing Wizard amps now. I've seen them for sale here and there (usually at pretty steep prices), and I know that the Young brothers from ACDC have been closely associated with them from the beginning.
The Modern Classic doesn't need to be cranked to get good tones. It really boils down to skill level. If you can get the goods from a stock plexi circuit type amp, you'll love a Wizard. If not, you'll hate it.
This seems like a troll thread, so I'll just leave the rest to you guys.
