Reminds me of the Caveman Bogner head I had years ago (& regret selling).
The Schizo knob on that amp gave a lot of textures. And the big light bulb was a nice conversation piece.
An acquaintance & big time producer/YouTuber told me he favored the Suhr RL IR after comparing to everything else out there.
He said the impedance curve was the best.
I think that was Vivian’s idea. I was close with Buddy (Blaze) Webster, he had the original polka dot Swan at his place. He & Vivian argued about who owned the guitar. That guitar was really nice, super flat radius, maybe 16?
I personally have dealt with HJ, Kevin. Purchased a couple of 4x12 cabs, and received them timely. Good communication, always replied to my messages on IG quickly.
I have a MGL 50 high gain, v2. Merren formers, NOS Siemens EL34’s.
It’s a killer, like the OP said, lots of range on the eq and gain structure.
Mark at MGL was great to deal with also. Congrats on the new amp, enjoy it.
No, unfortunately I don't. Dave Friedman pointed out to me right after I got it. It had a minor problem (don't remember what it was) & they fixed it quickly. I saw the Malcontents youtube, it was cool.
I have a reissue 30th anniversary model now.
Really humble guy and great player. He was interested in a plexi half stack I was selling, played for 20-30 minutes at serious volume, really tearing it up
Then handed me his guitar and said play me something, I was like uh, no thanks.
