What's your perfect Tone? Have you found it?

[Simon Dorn]

Yes found it many moons ago. Then wanted to scale it down.

I like the sound. But put the mids at 10 oclock and rerecord that riff and it probably sounds awesome

I tried to raise the mids, but even 9 oclock was too much with the rest of the knobs untouched. Then i tried my old setting again, didn't like it. Neither in the room nor recorded. I checked it out with my 3 Standard SM57 Placements. Then i changed the Setting of my TS to classic clean boost settings (0,5,10) then i had.

The absolute best sound I've ever coaxed out of an amp was two weeks ago when @Exo-metal and I got together to compare two modded Marshalls I built. One was his Langner I worked on and the other is my personal modded Super Trem. Plugged straight in, with a Bogner 4x12 loaded with Hereitage G12H-30 55Hz. Both amps just blew us away. Perfect doesn't exist, but these were close haha

It is quite the tone and feel under the fingers to behold.

But i guess it also works with a cranked TS. It has a little less punch and a little less articulation in the room though.
Master has got to be high. It was on 1 in my Clip above, which is too low.

Since a few month it is my Soldano Astro 20 in a 2 x 12 Celestion V30's

Found my tone long time ago. Probably 92-93. Modded a Marshall, ran it thru a loadbox, thru some fx then into two Marshall amp power sections into some 412 cabs. JC120 for cleans…lots to haul.
Scaled it down to my 69 Plexi into a 412 and some pedals…ultimately landed with my Wizard MC1 Rick built me in 05 and an RP1000 for fx. Still going strong.

I just need a Bassman or a Twin and a boost, an Ibanez DE-7 and a strat

 

[Simon Dorn]

Great choices.

The Mesa Sound With a boost you'd have a Mark IV

That amp is hilarious. Bought it not working for cheap, easy fix to get working. Someone also tried to mod it, I put it back to stock and did a bunch of maintenance on it. Looking at the schematic, they basically borrowed heavily from a Mark II.

A bunch of various videos of this model but only the clean channel. Figured I would do one of the Lead channel. It’s not as bad as people make them out to be. Seems many just gut these and start over.

Interesting. I read a bit about it now. I think Mesa "borrowed" it from Fender. Or maybe they both borrowed from each other, since Mesa invented cascading Tube Stages.
