FullShred is essentially a Duncan Custom, with an A5 magnet and two rows of short Allen head screws. Both the Full Shred and Custom 5 have been called scooped before. The Custom (ceramic magnet) is not as scooped as either of those, although like I said, it definitely doesn't have hyped mids.
@shar-vell Dan pretty well nailed it!
Big, tight, chunky bottom end attack, aggressive mids, but in a broad sense, as they don't have an upper mid hype. I would also agree with him on the "in the right guitar" comment.....they really are A++++ in the right guitar.
Nothing like a JB or...
Multi-watt is a great amp. I picked one up for a good price a few months ago, after not having a Recto for years. Really digging it!
Compared to my old Rev G dual I have owned, it is a bit tighter and less scooped....kinda how the 90's Rec is a bit tighter and more mid aggressive than the...
I have a few I really like.
#1 is still likely my old '99 Recto cab overall.
Also love my
Bogner Helios cab w/ greenbacks
Marshall jcm 800 cab w/ old g12t-75's
Diezel FL with V30's
Honorable mentions would be Uber cabs (had front and rear load....both are awesome! Actually may have to get...
I didn't find it to be like the JB or Distortion. Kind of its own thing.
Less upper mid attack than either the JB or Distortion. Low-end chunk more like a Custom.
It is versatile in how you can dial it in, in the context of modern, high gain Uber tones. While it does have a clean/crunch mode, it absolutely will not replace an Ecstasy, if you want those tones + feel.
Not saying do, it is just that when I got my Uber Ultra, I was hoping it could cop some...
Thanks man! It is pretty understated, but that is really what I wanted. If you start to get tops like @LP Freak beautiful Steckel model he posted, then yes, the price gets steeper. I say steeper, because even though a very appointed Knaggs is not cheap, they don't get in to literal car prices...
I love my PRS's and was considering the 594. I ended up custom ordering a Knaggs Kenai in white, with an ebony board, black binding and BK poly-paf pickups for cheaper than I would have been able to get a plain off the shelf 594 for. Awesome sounding/playing guitar....every bit as good as a core...
Very very cool! I am a newbie to speakers from that era, but I recently picked up a Canadian 2204 with matching cab that came with the old vented G12t-75 speakers.....wow, do they sound good...and quite different to the newer ones, as has been discussed.
Are there similarities between the old...
He is talking about the Wizard Rock Standard, which I also own.
More punch, more clarity. Wizards have this over most amps, one of their hallmarks.
Better feel (to me.....the RS feels like a hot plexi, which I prefer!)
And waaaay more ways to sculpt your tone.
Maybe not quite the same as a new one, but my old rear loaded Uber Cab is fantastic; one of my "go to" cabs that sounds amazing with any head I plug in to it! I also have a newer Helios cab loaded with greenbacks that kicks alot of ass as well!
Probably the Bogner 101b rig, which is one of my favorite amps ever. Definitely one of the best multi-channel amps. Sounds great, feels great to play and can do everything I would want to do.
Guitar: my PRS 305, which has been modded at the PRS factory for me by the PTC team with a bridge...
I have had a 1996 and 2008 Ecstasy. Both 101b's. I really dug both; blue channel, which is my fave on that amp is stellar on either. I do prefer the pre-2004 red channel though.
Ya, don't sell your Ecstasy if you don't have to. They really are one of the very best channel switcher out there in...
If you ever get a chance to try the original 58/15 pickups that came out in 2015, but discontinued shortly after, definitely give them a go: clear, balanced and super versatile.
Before I tried them in a 2015 McCarty I picked up, I was absolutely in the camp that automatically yanked PRS...
I really liked my old Triamp mkII.
As I have said before, is it going to offer a guitar forum gear head with a room full of old Marshalls, Hiwatts, Wizards, Larry's, etc something he needs? Probably not.
But mine could do alot of things well for a channel switcher, felt good to play and was...
