While we’re here, what exactly is Q in relatively simplistic terms? I’ve read about it countless times and have stuff with a Q knob and still have no clue what it does.
What’s your budget? 2203’s and 2204’s can be found for reasonable prices as can NMV reissues, provided the seller lives in reality.
Out of your list I’d go 2205/2210, just because of John Norum and his bitchin tone.
Yes and it’s pretty simple to do on the mark 3’s. Can’t comment on others. From the factory bias, both sets of 6L6’s I had ran hot as fuck. I think my winged C’s were somewhere in the 65-70ma range not even fully warmed up. In my opinion the bass improves greatly when lowered down to 40ish and...
Hypothetically, say I take a cranked 2203 and a 4x12 out in my driveway to grace the neighbors with the national anthem tomorrow, how far would you guys say the sound will travel? Speculation and personal anecdotes welcome, also happy Independence Day
Around 81. I think there was a bit of overlap. Perhaps leftover stock after the rose morris split in 81. I think 82 was the first full year of the 800.
Burger here I think has a guy, and metropolus can do them I think as well but I’m not sure.
Etched metal in salon Ohio can do them as well, but the guy told me no when I tried to get some boogie faceplates made because they make stuff for boogie. Getting them exact isn’t cheap which explains...
I paid $2200ish for a black stripe with cab like 6 months ago. That being said the cab had a blown speaker and the head had small issues.
I’d say 2,000 to maybe 2,500 if it’s exceptionally clean with a mike b service in the past 5 years. That’s assuming it’s one equipped with a graphic EQ. The...
They seem to be the much needed bridge between amp builder and end consumer. Seems like nearly all brands fuck up at some point, but they seem to still be holding quality and production to a high standard, which is something even fender and Marshall can’t seem to grasp all the time. I can’t...
I can’t comment on 75’s as I’ve never played them. Nor have I loaded this combo in a traditional cab, only ever tried it in split back cabs. And I misspoke meant to say the mesa mc90 which are apparently very similar to the cl80’s.
It’s hard to say as the EV’s are super bright and rip your face...
There’s a video by top jimi discussing this which has some useful info. It’s very difficult to get that sound without additional EQing, and dubble tracking, the right delay/verb, ect. A black stripe or really any stripe with a halfback EV/CL90 cab. The cabs super important. You could probably...
That’s interesting, I tried some rams in all sockets and worked my way down, found I didn’t like the low end flub they had. Much preferred a mullard in v1 followed by the mystery meat groove tube Chinese tubes it came with. That being said my factory bias was way hot which might have contributed...
See if you can throw some pics of it in, ideally of the inside as well. Sounds like it was modded and someone’s trying to pass it off as not modded. Could be something simple, could also be a rats nest. Never heard of a German spec, unless the guy means euro spec but none of that involves dual...
Expensive enough you’d probably have more fun with an IIB and a mark 3. They look to be down 30%ish from peak, same with 3’s. Give it some time, I don’t see them moving like they were at peak prices.
