20th Shiva sounds bigger but also stiffer. Gain channel is quite agressive and more 'US' voicing than Ecstacy. Clean channel is amazing on every Shiva's version but gain channel isn't Bogner's best work. Too bottom-heavy on older and too agressive on 20th Anni.
Hi guys,
I got a new cab from a local (Czech Republic) builder HDR Amplification https://www.hdramplification.com/ because I want to try slant cab I haven't for long time and I have to say I'm very pleased with built quality. My go to cab is Bogner 4x12 straight loaded with Scumbacks. HDR uses...
Edge zero with ZPS system is very stable, durable trem and RG2250 is great guitar. I prefer Edge/EdgePro from feeling/resistance and look but it is personal view.
500T has a lot more push, slightly more bass and edge than 498T. Works very well with volume knob…on 8 it is 498 … on 6 490T. Last time I recorded with one, it hits the front end of recto so hard, I have not use tubescreamer, first time in my life ?
Hi guys,
I see a lot of Charvel afficiados here so I ask for quality of new Charvel USA Select Pich Black.
One appears on local market but is relic'd and I never see one at online shop. The guy said he bought guitar in that shape.
IS 1700 E/$ reasonable price ?
There is always risk of loud pop if You use simple true bypass loop. It also depends on pedals and amp loop itself. Cheapest but not greatest.
LS-2 is good option, it could boost signal also if I remember correctly.
Boss MS-3 is swiss knife with a lot of features in small and durable package and...
balanced PAF is the first word on my mind. Seth lover set is quite close. Better than most usual PAF's but something still missing to Throbak or Holmes or vintage Gibsons.
I see Knaggs and Rebel Yell mentioned so it reminds me Steve Stevens Knaggs. It has BKP's sort of hybrid between RY and...
Thank guys.
I want amp for playing primary but also I don't want to lose money on it. I believe power transformer is not crucial part of the sound as output transformer is. But missing mustard in the preamp is what make me hesitate. Are there some modern replacements ? And is there big...
Hi guys,
I have opportunity to buy ´72 plexi and I need some advice about price and originality.
It has master and loop mod but original back panel is not drilled. Power tranny and some caps seems changed. Asking price is 2000€/$.
Rockerverb is looser than every Bogner. Classic Shiva with right boost can be great metal amp.
Diezel VH2/VH4 is more artifical sounding than most of Engls.
Marshall DSL100H boosted is best l value for money, just keep gain low and boost it.
Fryette’s are great UL/CL are more modern sounding...
Bogner Helios 100W , best Marshally higain in production amp. Organic, thumping, effortless…not generic ultra boring Diezel Higain or ultrastiff Wizard…just perfect compromise of vintage and modern…masterpiece.
Life is too short for practice on shitty amp like Katana :) or worse PC plugins . There is no dynamic, flubby bass or un-natural response of guitar monitors in case of fuck-ins. I don't understand why practice on low end guitar or amp when my play time is 90% home 10% rehearsal/gigs. My practice...
Jet city is perfect example of how important are trannies/iron. They miss 'magic' what makes Soldano great. Very generic, flat and one dimensional sounding amps even they are 95% Soldanos circuit-wise :) I had 20, 50 and 100W. Good modding platform but no cure for SLO GAS.
This guy is mediocre player at best, nowhere at Rabea’s level, technically, writting or feeling. I am not so crazy with Rabea sound but works for him and his music. Did You ever heard any of his albums or collabs ?
I always hear tons of ear piercing high end in this demos and not enough balls...
