I Strapped C15 and bridged the V2B Grid-Cathode with a 10pf. I seldom play the Crunch channel. The Lead Channel now can be dialed tight but still has that massive feel.

I've tried it with several different speakers/cabs and I immediately smiled with my greenbacks that I bought in the late 70's or early 80's. The amp can really push the top end, but it's totally manageable. The bottom can be dialed tight or loose. Get the top and bottom right and the mids say...

I think so and there was a Black Tolex one also... and Thanks... :)

Yeah, not my fave either.

Thanks all. Now a full day with it and it's really a tone machine. The Cut and Shape controls really move the tone. A shorty with Cut @ 3oclock and Shape on 3.

I had never really paid attention to 3 Monkeys amps until this last week. The Grease Monkey got my attention and then I found this one for sale just down the road. Yee-ha... :)

Just picked up this Grease Monkey. What a great amp. I believe this is the head demo'd by Lance Keltner. Regardless, it's got great voicing, touch sensitivity and that liquid feel. I first tried it with a Green Beret in a 1x12 and it was just Ok but nothing like with my 80's Greenbacks...

I don't use Debit Cards and for all my Credit Cards I have Email notification for every Charge account baance.

Similar to this? I almost always use two mics and utilize their phase as EQ.

I worry about gear while I'm practicing... so no lost time. Actually, the only time I really think about gear is while I'm practicing. Maybe I need to worry more... :lol: :LOL:

How's the volume management between channels?

The 57 serves a different purpose and really opens up the tonal options. Not just mixing the two but when utilizing the phase relationship as an EQ can be pretty nice.

Actually Royer recommends angling the mic. A fairly lengthy wite-up comes with the 121. Also, they offer a free one-time re-ribbon.

All ribbons are sensitive to air. I wouldn't let that be a driving force. Proximity is a bigger issue. The R92 bottom end is rolled off a bit to help with proximity. IMO, with ribbons you get what you pay for. A 121 + 57 or R92 + 57 is an awesome recording pair.

I think about $900 the R92 is a great cab mic. Quite a bit different than a 121 as the R92 delivers a lot more mids

Here's several ribbon back-to-back comparisons... V30 - r121 fathead t7000 r92 Greenback - R92 T7000 FatHead R84 V30 - R92 T7000 FatHead R84

Possibly post an example clip.

I agree. Both are very decent.

Maybe it's night and day in the room, but IMO the Lead clip didn't capture the difference. The Crunch is more noticeable, but I'd be putting it back stock if it was mine. There's two things I really like about the 5150, the grind and the fizz. Speakers really matter though. What speakers?
