I've never played real T-Tops, so I can't give a direct comparison; however, my understanding is also that its his take on them. I have a set that I've had in a couple of different guitars - one is a warm sounding flying V and the other a neutral sounding single cut style guitar. I thought they...
There’s another recent thread with an MCii posted in the rig-talk section that sounds way better than the one’s posted in this thread.
I also think mic placement is hurting those other ones. Check out the clip in that other thread, though. It sounds great.
I've never played one, but I read a post from Wade on his FB where he said they're actually lower output than the 2nd degree. A3 magnet and voiced a little different, while still being in the "blackbelt" family.
I noticed my 100w 6L6 Stealth getting a ground type of hum in the loop as well. I hardly ever use my loop and I don't recall it doing it previously, but it's been there the past few months. I tried swapping the power tubes and all the preamp tubes one-by-one and it's still there. With a cable in...
The F70s sounds a good hit darker than V30s here in the same cab. I realize the Diezel and Fatbottom cabs are going to be different construction wise, but if you’re finding a front loaded Diezel V30 cab too dark already there’s a good chance the frontloaded fatbottom F70 cab will be too dark also.
I have a set. They’re pretty cool, but I ultimately switched them out. I could not stop fiddling with the height - either too sharp or too much low end saturation. In the room it wasn't a big deal, but under a mic those were the things that bugged me. This was in an already hard hitting Les Paul...
Yeah sort of weird to go with the Standard name. They kept the ebony board of the Custom, but opted for the mahogany neck like the Standard or current Custom instead of a maple neck like his Customs have. It's not really like a Standard as far as that goes, but it's not really like his Custom...
I actually remember reading an article in some guitar mag years ago where he mentioned the 8200. He said he liked to dial in a little bit of the chorus into his tone.
