    Suhr Reactive Load Vs Two Notes Vs Rockcrusher

    The Suhr sounds fantastic to my ears, but I'm still looking for something a bit easier to lug around, like a rack unit, so the Two Notes appeals to me. I'm worried that it'll sound different to what I've already got (Suhr RL and Torpedo CAB with Redwirez IRs). I understand that IRs will sound...

    Pete Cornish Pedals??

    Really great pedals, I've had the P-2, P-1, SS-3 and OC-1 - I've sold them all on now, but they are good. I guess, for me, they tied up too much money in one unit and I almost felt guilty for owning them. The SS-3 was my favourite, really nice overdrive. The OC-1 is a great transparent...

    NPD - Diezel VH4 Pedal w/video

    I have a Laney Lionheart L20H and run a BE-OD, Diezel VH4 pedal and Piod What You Want 2 into the front of it. Using the right cab on my Torpedo CAB (using a Suhr Raeactive Load) is absolutely crucial to getting the right sound with each of those pedals. It'd be pointless running the Diezel...

    Alice in Chains Live.

    He's got a signature Friedman amp now, not sure what he used back in 2010 though.

    Best high gain lunchbox amp?

    Wow, I'm really thankful for all the replies. I'm definitely going to check out the Ironball and the LBX - there's a lot of love for those on here, and I'm pleased because the Ironball was on my list - it validates my thinking! The LBX needs to be tried too. I'm in London this weekend and...

    Best high gain lunchbox amp?

    Hi all, Currently have a Laney Lionheart tiny 5w head and it sounds superb. I want to compliment it with a great little high gain amp. Wattage doesn't really matter as I'm using a Suhr reactive load into a Torpedo CAB. But I like the options I have on the Laney - DI, Headphones etc, would be...

    Best studio monitors to use with Torpedo CAB

    Hi guys, What monitors are you using with your Torpedo CAB? Anyone have any good recommendations? Been looking at Adam A7X and Yamaha but happy to learn about others too. I've got a small room but want to be flexible for when I get a bigger house. Play hard rock and atmospheric stuff. Like a...

    Torpedo CAB users, please help with 3rd party IR's

    @sysexguy I'm really sorry, I need to rewind a little. If I am loading an impulse response from Redwirez, (Hiwatt Fanes 4x12) that has (included) a mic placement of 0.5" from cap using an SM57, what is "Miking: On/off" setting doing on the Torpedo CAB on that specific preset? Is it physically...

    Torpedo CAB users, please help with 3rd party IR's

    Ah sorry, missed the last bit of your post. How does it do that for 3rd party IRs? Surely it's just a WAV file, they can't take away the sound of the 3rd party mic? Ev, I'm using a Redwirez Hiwatt cab with an SM57, how can it disable that SM57 I its on the impulse response?

    Torpedo CAB users, please help with 3rd party IR's

    @sysexguy thank you, I know that's true for the Two Notes IRs, but is that true for 3rd party IRs too?

    Torpedo CAB users, please help with 3rd party IR's

    So I accidentally switched off an option I didn't even know was on, "Miking: On", when using a Redwirez Hiwatt Fane's cabinet IR. When I turned it off it felt like someone took the blanket off and the cleans just sounded a bit more alive. It all sounded brighter and more like what I remember my...

    best way to get Gilmour's comfortably numb sound?

    I have a Reeves Custom 50, Buffalo TD-X (Tube Driver Clone), a muff and an old Boss CE-2 and it gets very close. Gilmour used all of the above. A Strat with the right pickups is important!

    Is this the best sounding inst. gtr record of all time?

    Completely agree. Phenomenal production indeed. Such an amazing sound, tune, tone, song! I love this album from start to finish. Saw him play it live last year and it was incredible.

    VH4 in a Pedal????

    Just had this back from Diezel UK Twitter, "just waiting for the first batch". Very vague and could mean anything from next week to next year! Who knows. The guy from Amptweaker said that it'll sound different in the loop than out front, not sure my TMP would be better or worse to be honest...

    VH4 in a Pedal????

    K-Roll, it's funny you should say that about being happier with a pedal than the big amps you've had in the past. I've had an Amptweaker Tight Metal Pro (which James voiced like a Peavey, I believe) for a while now and recently bought a Mesa Dual Rec and honestly, I keep coming back to my...

    Ampete amp switcher question

    I don't have one, but my understanding is that you can run whatever you want (front of amp pedals included) into the "guitar in" on the unit, and that will send whatever signal you feed it, to any of your amps. Then there is a loop on the unit for time based effects (or any other effects you...

    Torpedo CAB and SRL not sounding as good as I'd hoped, help

    Thank you for the response! I've tried it this morning and I've heard an improvement by turning off the power amp sim. I'm not saying it's the CAB, I think it's a great little unit, to be honest, all of the gear is new to me and I'm just needing some help with everything really. It looks like...

    Torpedo CAB and SRL not sounding as good as I'd hoped, help

    Hi guys, Is there a good way to set up your amp, Suhr Reactive Load and CAB to work together without giving you a harsh bristly tone? Admittedly, I'm using the headphone out of the CAB at the moment; as I'm waiting for some active Matrix cabs to be made, and I've not spent a lot of time with...
