    A better Ecstasy?

    I own a Stiletto Deuce Stage 1 and also a 101b from around 2020/21. The Deuce is a great amp if you take the time to dial it in - it’s pretty finicky, but great once you get there. I run mine with a Buxom Boost out front and an EQ in the loop. I also run it through Greenbacks - I can imagine...

    Real talk… Headfirst Wizard clones

    I have a Headfirst MCII build. It’s a 25 watter but in a small box headshell. I haven’t run it side by side against a real MCII, but I will say this: it punches harder than any of my other amps (VH4, JMP 2204, Mesa Stiletto, Boogie MK IV and 101b). It’s also a very loud 25 watts - very open and...

    Larry PMM pics ( almost done )!

    I’m with you - I don’t know what I’m looking at, but it looks awesome. I love the attention to detail on display - I know the sound is what matters, but aesthetically it’s just really pleasing to my eyes. Can’t wait to hear you put it through its paces.

    Friedman Amps are Class Acts.

    Yep, nothing but great experiences here too. Hats off to Dave - to build a great product is one thing, to build a great business another, but to do all of that whilst remaining down to earth and treating customers so well seems to be a rare thing in the music instrument game

    Is there ONE amp that you could get by with as your single amp?

    I haven’t found it yet, but it will undoubtedly be the next amp I plan to buy. Always is….

    Well All My Gear May Be Destroyed...

    Stunned to read that there’s now a major focus on deterring looters. First I heard of this was in a short clip from Bonamassa, but it’s been reported more generally here in the UK. Can’t imagine the level of low life you need to be to want to loot homes that had to be abandoned in a situation...

    Dual Recto revision?

    For what it’s worth, an easy way to tell which is which from the front panel is to look at the areas with blue “circles” in the pics below. The old 3 channel has one switch below the channel selector LED, whilst the Multi-Watt has two switches, one above and one below the channel selector LED.

    Ha - just saw this! Great work so far and it would be great if someone could pull off the vocals to help bring it all together.

    which of these sounds best??

    For the tone I would want to hear for that riff it’s 3 then 1 then 2 for me.

    FourT6and2 and the beast

    Ha ha - do it! Always amazes me how many of us neckbeards there are out there…. I’d be more confident posting a pic of my painted models than a clip of my guitar playing, that’s for sure

    Mark IIC+ Reissue with Ola

    And suddenly the 5 minute miler keyboard warriors were filled with a false sense of security. Note, however, that @DanTravis62 has not disclosed his time over the first 100 metres. That’s what you really need to worry about….

    Tell me about the Mesa Mark IV

    I wouldn’t bet against a full set of reissues over the coming years. 2c++, every stripe of Mark III, Mark IV As and Bs, every revision of rectifier in black/chrome and regular finishes….the list goes on. Release one or two a year and then it’s on to the aged versions which are aged and “tuned”...

    Mark IIC+ Reissue vs. OG 1983 IIC+ DRGX: The Ultimate A/B Blind Comparison

    I totally agree with @TheGreatGreen. Gibson/Mesa really should be thanking you for your work here - you’ve done them a massive favour.

    All original from me. I don’t have many skills, but wordplay is actually one of the few.

    Mark IIC+ Reissue vs. OG 1983 IIC+ DRGX: The Ultimate A/B Blind Comparison

    I have to say that despite the ribbing the reissue is getting in the main thread, in your vids it sounded really good. On the blind A/B, I focussed on picking which I preferred and I was pretty much 50/50 between the reissue and OG across all clips. Nice job!
