This morning on the NORMAL channel of my MPII, the side that is stock ‘68. I have a EP style echo running in the front (with consequent EP fet boost). No Variac, no special mid pot, no fat cap. These amps (I used to own 124XX) are just uber-harmonic city, and were kinda hard to tame. Which is...

I read on another forum that there's a revision to the 3534 50w that includes some new switches. Has anyone else heard about this? I have found zero evidence for this online so I'm skeptical.

I don't think he ran the bias that hot for very long. A major part of the "sound" he stayed loyal to was the cold-bias crossover distortion.

I was a demo guitarist for Ed (got hooked up with his crew by Kimbo Davis who was close with Hartley and who'd reached out on behalf of Ed's business manager Barbara Page). That ended getting me hooked into working (this was all on the side, I was/am a fund manager IRL) on the brand new VH...

Ahh, last time I talked to Val was when she personally fired me from the VH camp. ?

Except it has changed from the 101b, to Deep, Loose, and Tight. That's what's throwing me off. LOL I just want to know what is going on with "Deep"? Because it also changes the highs. I get "Loose" and "Tight".

This is from the JB45 which I'd assume is using a similar circuit...

Yeah, the loop on the 101b I had to stop using for sessions because it wasn't transparent enough and I couldn't get that last 10%. This loop is on par with Friedman & Metropoulos (the gold standard for me). Plus the secondary master it provides with full transparency is amazing. So, Mr...

I have had far too many Bogners...something like 6 Ecstasies and a Telos (still have that and love it) and a Helios and I'm probably forgetting something. Anyway, I have this Ecstasy 50w which sounds pretty dang good. I really like it, running through a Bogner 1x12 with a Scumback blackback...

Congratulations Scott! Would love to know more about your role and the company, at least what you can share. I write on Geopolitics and used to, uh, “do some work” in the PACCOM sphere, so this of particular interest to me.

Tell me about the Sfogli - intrigued.

Willing to trade my Nitro Aged sunburst Charvel

Just an outstanding amp, and perhaps to my eyes the best-looking amp ever made. Not enough clips online of these guys.

Very kind of you!

It is amazing.

Because Ed had a ‘68 with an out-of-spec mid pot, and he variaced it. No one else had that.

‘Cause they didn’t have Donn.

You can listen to Ed's unproduced, scratch-mixed outtakes. They are all over YT, leaked out of Sunset. His amp is very good, it is a very good tone. But the "fairy dust" was in Donn's "mix it like a vocal" technique that Templeman demanded. You put a lot of mids to tape, insuring the dynamics...

These are hot but sound so good. Naturally compressed.
