Sounds good to me - Woflgang's stuff is definitely more Foo Fighters than VH but man he is a clean, clean player. Damn good vocalist as well.
Can't wait to check him out live when Metallica comes around in the summer...view should be decent from the snake pit.
Posting a WTB in the classifieds is likely the direction I'll go unless I find something elsewhere this week - relatively new member, just working to get that post count up to 50 without spamming the forums :)
The color of the stripe really doesn't matter to me. I've heard the Blues are more...
Thanks all, extremely helpful across the board. Lots of interesting options for sure.
Looks like it's a no stripe but does not have the 105 transformers (not that I care, more about market value assessment and potential resale). No mention of a trip to Mike B. either so this one appears to...
Couple of Black stripes going for around $3k on Reverb, can basically get into a VII at that price point.
I would only use this amp for thrash tones - the more raw the better.
New VII under warranty seems like the prudent play but I've always wanted an older Mark...guessing I could grab a...
Revv Generator 120 mk3. Probably the perfect amp on paper (clean, crunch, 5150 style channel, Recto style channel, amazing built in gate, the right amount of switches without going overboard, etc.). Basically the perfect spec for me.
Unfortunately I just got zero inspiration when playing...
I had this amp in house for about a week. It's one of the best amps I've ever played that I didn't also love. I'd give this thing a glowing review to anyone that asks and absolutely recommend it but it just didn't work for me. Huge gain sweep on a single channel (which I love), agree 100%...
Also, to answer your question directly - at least on the Orthos the masters are completely independent, not interactive. It's almost like it's own channel as you can assign various voicing switches to each master (in addition to the traditional use as a volume boost for soloing).
You'll be fine with a KSR dude. I actually thought something was wrong with my Orthos when I first got it because I had to juice the master and volume way past what I normally would. But I'm also used to playing 2203s and rectos where your dick gets ripped off with the master on 2.
There is a...
Got a ton of great stuff coming in - Headfirst Alta (should have it next week), a KSR Orion (end of June/early July) and a nitro silverburst Cyclops from Dunable. About to be dead broke but at least I'll have fun on the way down.
Not much yet but I think it's imminent. I ordered one directly from Kyle a few weeks ago and he said late June but there were also about 25 people ahead of me. I wouldn't be surprised if these start shipping any day now.
Aristides is crushing it right now IMO if a non-wood guitar isn't a deal breaker. I think I've tuned it twice in 6 months. Plays very fast. Sounds killer.
I trust this dude when it comes to amp reviews (especially Marshall 2203 circuits). Excepting the bad boy (which is its own beast), he thinks the 2203x reissues sound as good or better than old ones.
