+1 Generation Terrorists is still the benchmark in guitar tone for me. Great album when they were full of piss & vinegar. The Ritchie years albums are the best imo, despite the Holy Bible being the most bleak sounding thing I've ever heard. James Dean Bradfield, HIGHLY underrated.

FWIW I have a MK 50ii & I've never found it overly dark. What are the preamp tubes in it? If it has JJ's, Tungsols might help. Speakers? They're designed around V30's. I run mine with them occasionally but for the most part with M75 Scumbacks. I do have the resonance quite low, about 9...

I believe I have your old 50w Cali. Absolutely agree, just superb. Mostly use it for 80's type metal which it excels at. As others have said, Dan is a class act all the way.

Wow on every level :shocked:

Yeah, cool pedals if it wasn't for the hum. Hopefully he addresses this with the new ones.

Great sounding cabs, very solidly built. Didn't dig the stock H30's, too bright. Replaced them with 65w M75 Scumbacks, MUCH better.

Not a big fan of V30's by themselves. However that harshness goes away with some volume & they cut thru in a band mix. Getting them broken in is key to reducing the yuck factor as well.

Couldn't agree more. All I got from Truck was the me me me song & dance. Stop being such a self important douche & keep it about the guest ffs :doh:

Just watched a new demo on YT he did of this amp Nov 22. Sounds amazing :rock:

Still playing thru your old Cali modded 800 Dan :yes: Running thru two Scumback loaded 4x12's, WET reverb, El Cap & Matrix poweramp in a wet/dry setup. Sounds phenomenal. A true gent & tonesmith that deserves all the props you get :rock:

I say good on them. Just more choices for our tonal pallet.

20th Anniv EL34 Warm chewy, plenty of gain. Rightly deserves it's place as one of the top amps :yes:

+1 Dan is awesome on all levels :rock:

Yep, too sizzly in the high end is a pretty good description. Everyone's taste is different, I just prefer the Scum's warmth over the V30 spike/sizzle. I agree to there being horses for courses. I found the Scums great for upper mid focused amps like Marshall's. Whereas the V30's compliment a...

Tore the V30's out of a Bogner 2x12, waaay to harsh. Replaced them with M75 Scums, hands down the single biggest improvement in tone. Scums introduced a warmer chewier mid tone that didn't fatigue the ears yet still have plenty of cut with other guitarists. Primarily use Marshally amps but...
