    New preamp, guess what it is... Gaywhore content revealed :D

    I'm not a tech type- but it does not have a toroidal transformer. Doesn't it look semi Boutique with all the components laid out really perfect like that ? You rack guys should know this..... How about a shot of the Front Panel ? Ha. (*Tommy Folkesson ? ) ( Quinn ? ) (Van Weeldin ?) (...

    Went to the ENGL North Hollywood showroom today *VIDEO ADDED

    Looking forward to the *Retro Studio Classic with this preamp and about .2 to 2 watts of Tube Power Amp and direct outs to go to Cab IRs plus drive a Speaker for micing simultaneously. * OK - I made this up - but love the voicing on the Retro- what do you say ENGL ?

    Went to the ENGL North Hollywood showroom today *VIDEO ADDED

    Eric- is the 520 Preamp with 3 channels 4 tubes a much warmer classic rock pre than the 630 ? Capable of smooth Marshall type tones and do you still use it ? To the OP- thanks for posting the Video- sounds great for an Iphone- I could tell you were reacting to the Tones of the Amp- Free/Bad...

    Any users of the E 530 pre?

    Never tried a 530 but it sounds from demos like Classic Rock and clean Fender Tones and warm Plexi and medium gain are not it's strength. The 570 in Vintage Mode- might do this and more- one demo sounded very promising- any thoughts?

    Spectacular version of Guthrie Govan "Waves" by John Choi

    Excellent ! So with a good Guitar Tube Pre and EFX we can get results like this with no Power Tubes in the signal chain . Now how about letting us hear this guy through 10 or 15 of the different Cab IRs while he's playing ?

    Has anybody bought the Two Notes Torpedo (VB101 or LIVE)?

    Cool- thanks - a nice sounding Demo with an excellent player. You need more of these where we get to hear the Cabs- EFX are OK as well or in a Mix as on here. I'd like to hear one input with 10 different Cabs etc. changing while he's playing both solo and in a Mix. Of course- I'd like to win...

    Torpedo Live availability

    I don't speak French but I can play the Guitar in French Fluently............ Waiting for demos/reviews on the C.A.B to see if just a really good Preamp sounds as good as a Head into the LIVE does. Or to put it another way- "Can we fool them with no Power Tubes in the signal chain ? "

    Pedal Version C.A.B. VS. LIVE Rackmount Unit regardin Tones

    When will the Pedal Version C.A.B. be available in USA ? Other than no ability to LOAD an Amp Head ( not accept Power Amp input ) do these have the same sound as the "Live " ? The few demos I've heard lack bottom end but may not be using a Tube Preamp. A good comparison would be to use a...

    Got the LIVE today

    Yeah- If the LIVE sounds really good with a Tube Preamp- can we assume that the Torpedo C.A.B would sound the same ? Meaning not using the Power Amp input - are these going to sound the same?

    TORPEDO LIVE

    Bumping this thread -what about the Torpedo C.A.B.- the Pedal version- does that have a similar sound to the LIVE IF you just use a Preamp or Preamp Out from a Head ? OR does the Power Section from the Head make a big difference ?

    Fortin modded Marshall quick review

    I like how the Heads look with the Fortin Nameplate on them- a collaboration.

    Has anybody bought the Two Notes Torpedo (VB101 or LIVE)?

    Thanks. Glad the Pedal Version is "studio specs" signal wise etc. Didn't see the price on the Pedal but also the single space Rackmount with Loadbox seems more reasonable $ now. Is there a big difference in TONE between using a Preamp Line Out from a Head into the Pedal - Versus using...

    Has anybody bought the Two Notes Torpedo (VB101 or LIVE)?

    Are there also versions which are cheaper that work with just a Preamp ? Meaning they can not accept a Power Amp out from a Head just a Preamp . And also a Pedal version , maybe? Do the inexpensive ones work well with just a good Guitar Tube Preamp? Where are demos which just flip through...

    Why does it sound like shit live????!!!!????

    I was going to suggest having someone play your Rig and listening yourself from the front just as Steve K( and others ) above said .- maybe some Rhythm stuff-chords and just some long single notes in different registers ( low, medium, high ). I know it's in the Fingers and the guy won't play...

    After a 3 Year 5 month waite - NGD!!!!!!!!!!!

    Congrats!- Looks like a unique design, and from your description - some excellent Korina. I just hope "O'Bryant" is someone you know well....... The inlay looks perfect- and if you're getting lots of warmth off the neck pickup- IMO that's great, 'cause you can always get "bite "- warmth and...

    Strat vs Les Paul in a shred format

    Actually -I thought this was a good analogy. Lucky he didn't go into obscure BB Players that I don't know: " The Les Pauls with P90s are more like Rick Morton from the '76 Celtics.........." I've never owned an LP but noticed a lot of clean but really good LP Tones...

    Who is using preamps / rack these days?

    I use an ADA MP1 into Cab IRs for writing/practice but it may be good enough for serious recording, surprisingly. After asking a lot of people on Forums if MP1's were good for warm Marshall Tones I snagged one off E-Bay which had "noise mods " but nothing else done. The demos of ADA MP1s...

    Just got the Kemper! Clips inside!

    Just be careful not to have the AXE 2 (6.0 release) Profile the Kemper while the Kemper is simultaneously Profiling the AXE 2- can create a Black Hole to Infinity..... ..........or possibly become "self aware".

    Reza's latest sig-vid

    Great Clip - love the overdrive but clarity at the same time, mix of chops and long notes as well as tasty shred.... Most of all listen to the lead- it's great tones and playing BUT it's not too loud in the Mix ! Does not dwarf the Rhythm Track- more fun to listen to IMO. Nice Job! Great...
