I have 2 Marshall 1960B cabs and one Scumback custom made 4 x 12 cab that looks like a 1960B. I also have 2 x 12 cab. They all have different Scumback speakers. The Scumback 4 x 12 cab has 4 different Scumback speakers, BH75,M75,H75 and H55, each miked with it's own Shure 57 mic so I can pick...
It's the one before the newest one. When I bought it new, Suhr came up with a new one 4 month after I bought it. It's a shame because from what I read they changed the circuitry quite a bit, especially the OT, if I remember correctly. I experimented with different tubes, but the clean channel...
I love it! The switching is smooth and quiet, except for the PT100 which has always had a high pitch squeal issue which you hear for a short moment when switching between the other amps. I'm selling it because I'm disappointed with the clean channel and the noise issue. The amp sound fine but...
I removed the low pass filter and the presence control is different, more like a Plexi which is narrower. The PS sounds brighter with more air without the low pass filter. I prefer that my cabs do the filtering since they only reach 5 or 6k. This made a huge difference for me because as soon as...
It's almost finished, I have 2 Furman PQ3 which were being repaired. I needed some of the pots repaired. I'm using the Ampete for switching 4 amps.I'm also using a new modified Power Station as an attenuator. I'm not using the Ampete's fx loops,instead I'm running a Boss GE 10 and a Hush Super C...
I would love to see coaxial drivers in the future. It would be nice to have 2 on the same cabinet to run them in stereo, but the price would go up considerably because you'll need 4 power amps and good coaxial speakers can be pricy.
I don't use the fx loop with any amp anymore, I just don't like having anything between the preamp and the power amp. I take a DI out of my attenuator and run a power amp with a stereo 2 x 12 or a 4 x 12. I also use an eq on the wet side just in case I need to match the tone. You can run it W...
I use the Maxon OD808, Way Huge Green Rhino,Ibanez TS9, Fulltone Full Drive 2 and OCD, Tech 21 XXL and Boss SD-1. I use them all depending on the amps I use, but the Maxon and the OCD are the ones I use the most.
I have the ENGL Powerball 2 which I replaced the Powerball 1. I like the Powerball 2, it has a ton of gain and it has a very smooth distortion, but I only use it for real heavy stuff.
Sounds great Steve! The distortion is nice and smooth with a nice midrange. The clean also sounds great. I would've used a 57/R121 combo to get a bit of more brightness or air, but that's just my personal taste. Great tone!
HI Dave,
I have a question about the Ampete since I'm planning to get it from Rack Systems. If I'm using a combination of master volume and non master volume amps could I use an attenuator between the speaker and the speaker out of the Ampete? Could I also run an attenuator on a non master...
I like using an attenuator with my Friedman or any of my amps with master volume because I believe there's a difference in tone between 1 through 5. When recording I like the power amp section to work a bit harder. At higher volumes the amp gets a bit darker. I lower the gain to 3 and sometimes...
I have 2 1960B 4 x 12 Marshall cab, a Scumback 4 x 12 custom cab and a custom 2 x 12. I like using my Scumback 4 x 12 cab for recording because it sounds better than the Marshalls and I use 4 different speakers(Scumback and Celestion) so I have a choice which one to use in the studio. I get a...
