    What makes an amp perfect for you?

    Thanks for the info on the Poundcake guys - great to know. @Yehuda sent me down the Steavens rabbit hole when he posted about his 25th - really great sounding amps - but I couldn’t find out much about how the Poundcake varied over the years. Really good to hear from those who have first hand...

    What makes an amp perfect for you?

    Without wanting to derail the thread, what was different about the two Poundcakes and have you tried a mk1?

    What makes an amp perfect for you?

    Setting tonality aside, for me it’s having an amp that inspires you to play differently / different things and an amp that allows the character of the guitar to shine through even when it’s being driven

    Headshell for mesa mark iv

    Where are you based? I bought a Mark IV as a chassis and had a headshell built by Craft Speaker Cabs in Doncaster, UK. It’s spot on. They’re on Reverb.

    Nice score - congrats! I have a JMP 2204 from 1978 and love it. They do “the thing”.

    It's weird that I hated Rectifiers for the first 23 years of their existence...

    For me it was Rev F Triple, then MultiWatt Triple, then Rev F Dual then Rev G Dual. It was very close between the two Triples, though - I’d be very happy with either.

    Diezel VH4

    Mine’s only a few years old and can confirm the later ones can get plenty bright enough if you run the presence and middle/treble up a bit. I also find the EQ knobs on mine have a pretty wide sweep - small adjustments can make quite noticeable differences. No doubt it can get dark/thicker if I...

    Totally agree - great demo. The amp is awesome, although definitely an acquired taste/not for everyone. Love mine.

    Tell me which of my LPs sounds best

    R8 with DiMarzio’s took the overall for me (they sounded the most open), but I preferred the attack of the Navigator Standard with Seths on the palm mutes.

    Gary Richrath WHOA!

    If you’re looking for a brighter PAF style pickup, I’d recommend the Rewind PAF A4s. I have them in one of my R9s - great pickups. Definitely tighter and brighter than the A2/A3 Rewind combo I have in my other R9. Not cheap, but I’ve been really happy with the pickups and wiring harnesses I’ve...

    You know what amp is NOT overrated? This thing.

    I was looking forward to you saying it’s a Mesa IIc+….and then posting tracks of you playing riffs off the Black Album…. Just to keep people on their toes.
