Various levels of tackiness there.

Shaddap and buy a Wizard.

No surprise, "new" Marshalls are always a pain to deal with, they have those high treble frequencies that are super annoying when playing at home, but are a total overkill when playing in a band, especially if the other guitarist has a darker/smoother amp like a Bogner.

Yup, just one difference: ESP has plenty of badass endorsers, Schecter has basically none. But yeah, if endorsers were a point, that is.

ESP is by a ridiculous margin the biggest brand in the whole Metal scene, not sure about the US but if you check any metal music related event, from huge Festivals to medium / small gigs, ESP covers 90% of the bands you will see. It's natural a pro wants to get some more visibility and benefits...

If "too much bottom end" and "not enough power tube distortion" is the thing, then there's no chance the tube is other than E34L by JJ (not tha I'm aware of). It's a great tube to give some balls to otherwise anemic, high mid super focused amps, as it's also quite tight down there, but if you're...

This. IMHO nicer than regular JJ EL34 and MUCH better than E34Ls

Well it is, imports use nyato, meranthi luan and other timbers in place of mahogany ( much pricier), which are softer, lighter, yellower in color and not as tight and as focused in tonal response. It's not that sound inherently bad or something, actually I've played many LTD and Schecs that...

Do you have troubles cutting thru?

Never been much into Orange amps, I've always found them great for very very heavy tones - and when I say heavy I don't mean super gainy high mid focused djentaggro heavy, but Sabbath like heavy, evil and mouth of hell deep tones, "heavil" I'd call them - which is something I like when listening...

So any news about these after a couple of years? Are these fine? Decent? Trash?

Considering most modern metal players are basically after the most focused, high end pissed, aggro, tight sound possible, I can understand why it's not everyone's fave sound in terms of higain..but it's ballsy and sounds huge, which I dig a lot.

He has a cool cat, I'd be fine with that.

IIRC it's an MKI 502. It's a fine amp if you can get it for cheap. Imho it's not as good as the MKII, aspecially if 50w, didn't love the one I played

Imho a big factor when it comes to hot rodded 'shalls and politeness/pre-recorded tone is the use of presence and eventually a NFB control. Speakers might help too

Yup, you just need to turn the volume up more. There's a specific point in the Master pot taper where all era modes meet volume wise. The Modern mode is very quiet til 8, then it gets loud pretty fast, also due to the Audio pot used for the Master (which means other modes are still quieter than...

How is the molecular compared to the Yeti? Never played it, sorta middle ground between the yeti and the chupa, or closer to the Yeti?

Not sure why presence so high tho?
