Glad the brand didn't die. The pedals look very nice but also very expensive considering there are some pretty amazing AIAB and preamp types out there for a lot less. Kingsley, Bogner, Friedman etc.
Yep, it's a bassy, almost woofy sort of low end when you push most amps with it. One cool thing I sometimes do is double boost my Ecstasy Red channel > TS9 into the EP into the XTC. The TS9 tightens and the EP makes it sound huge. Coolness
One amp it can get away sitting in front of is a...
It's just a really fat boost. I used to push my overdrives with it but now I prefer it after my other dirt pedals or in my amp's loop as a volume boost and tone sweetener. One thing it won't do (at all!) is tighten up the front end of an amp like a screamer does. The EP is a super big...
Haven’t followed them for awhile but starting maybe 10 years ago Dan used Randall for rhythm parts and recorded all of his lead parts and some other overdubs with an Ecstasy.
I have a lot of experience with VH4 and was able to play a Herbert, Fokker and Dmoll all on the same day with a bunch of different cabs and very loudly at that!
I agree, VH4 has the midrange and trademark Diezel voicing and is a riff monster. Very inspiring amp for me and perfect blend of...
Cool. That's the way I'm leaning. I LOVE Macs, been using them for 12 years but to get the power I want to edit 4K drone and DSLR footage with ease I'd need a really decked out iMac or MacBook Pro and I just don't have the 3-5K laying around. Going to miss Logic and Garageband for sure but...
This MacBook is basically brand new and is the latest/current Air model. I've taken it out of the box and played around with it for a total of a few hours. I intended on buying Logic and Final Cut Pro for a Youtube project that I'm starting but I'm now considering a PC build instead.
I really...
They may be tough to move on the used market but they sound and feel great to play through. And for anyone saying they're overkill for certain gigs, they're not really much "louder" than other cabs, they just fill more space and move more air. In fact, I often argue that they can be quieter...
I’m looking to do the same with my 1960B. I tried getting away from the celestion bite and raunch and ended up with a mix of Webers. They sound great but lately have been sounding a bit too polite for my taste. I might try to get some Marshall branded V30s since I’m mainly using a 2555x with...
I’m pretty excited to hear it. Cool Fender/Mark vibe by the look of it.
I remember talking to Stephen about an amp like this from Mesa at least two years ago. First thing I thought of when I saw it. Looks like a killer amp for a pedalboard!
Sound Awake is my favorite album to come out in the last decade. Unfortunately (or fortunately?) there aren't many other bands that do it like them. There are a pile of bands from the last ambient/djent type genre but most of them are pretty stale to me and don't have the depth, intrigue or...
Same here. I literally just typed up some FS ads for some of my gear. :lol: :LOL: :doh:
Sounds like the BAD rumor may possibly be true after all? I don't know..I can see Mike wanting to take the design/name with him so it's left with integrity but on the other hand, if it continued under...
