These are real sturdy. I even have one in the garage gym for storing some weights on. Every shelf can handle up to 70 KG, so it should be more than enough for any amp ??

Being a Swede I use IKEA for my amps as well ? These are “Bror” shelves. They are made of metal and can handle some weight.

Sounds great! ?? And those frequencies (for the most part) are actually what they cut/boosted with the Aphex parametric in the loop of the amp.

Kirk Hammett used the VHT 2150 for a brief period in the 90’s. So they will both sound like Metallica ?

Using slave out won’t cancel the IIC+ power amp. You’ll still have the characteristics of the IIC+ power amp, but supercharged! That’s why I like the transparency of the Strategy 400.

I’ve had both S400 and S500. They are pretty similar, but I felt that the 400 is a bit more transparent and “3D” sounding, if that makes sense. Maybe due to the simpler design, idk. I ended up selling the 500 and keeping the 400. But I also think it depends on what you are using it for. I use...

Yeah they are the first version of the V30’s, first came out in 85-86 sometime I believe.

For the black album you mean? I guess he’s referring to the Marshall G12 Vintage speakers as V30’s.

If you’re referring to what Bob Rock said in the ToneTalk interview, then no. What he’s talking about are the B&B/Aphex EQF-2 parametric EQs, not the BBE Sonic maximizer. But Bob Rock can’t misspeak? Or can he? ??

I agree with a lot of what you are saying here. You can’t eq away certain characteristics of the amp. And that is exactly why I’m emphasizing that it was a C++ and not a stock run of the mill IIC+. I’m certainly not an expert, but I’ve had four Mark III’s, four IIC+/++’s and a couple of Mark...

I totally get what you are saying. The sum of everything works. Because if you look at Flemmings notes and set you Mark IIC+ like that, you’re sure as hell not gonna sound like AJFA. That’s just one part of the puzzle. This is also why you’re reasoning doesn’t add up here. You are aware that...

Well, I know that pic is taken when the amp was on display at Orion Fest. It’s not from a studio or live situation so those settings don’t mean anything. If anyone is interested in settings for this amp however, the notes for AJFA are available on Flemming Rasmussens website. Yes, it was the...

That pic is from when it was on display at their museum thing at Orion fest a few years ago. I don’t think they cared too much how the controls were set for that.

2C and 2C++ are two very different amps though.

Haha okay, I guess this amp behind Kirk is not the same amp either then ? Or are you saying they wrote IIC++ even though they know it’s a Mark III? Makes sense.

Well, this is the same amp and it literally says MK II C++ on it.

Also, I’m not saying Bob is a senile old man that doesn’t remember anything. It could very well be that he thought it was a Mark III. Couldn’t be easy to know all the details about these various Mark amps back in the day, without an easy click on the internet. Metallica themselves didn’t fully...

Definitely! And I don’t think people realize how much of an impact those Aphex EQs have on the tone. And how much you can alter the tone with just some knob turning. Especially with two of them.

What’s to say that all those details are correct though?

I know this topic has been beaten to death, but as this thread is bumped again, I’ll post this pic from the September ’91 issue of Young Guitar Magazine. It’s about the gear used to record TBA and it clearly shows the IIC++ amp. This was posted by a Japanese dude in a Facebook group along with...
