I ship em 1 at a time in USPS large flat rate boxes, it’s like $23 per speaker. Add an extra layer of cardboard on the cone side inside the box. It’s no prob with a V30, could get riskier with damage with something heavier like a Redback, will not work with an EVM12L (frame is too big and damage...
I think the ‘Tubedriver’ channel is new. I don’t remember the original having reverb, but it’s been a while. Hopefully the noise gate is a new design, the old one was weak sauce. I might have been interested if they would have gone with KT88/6550’s.
RTL, best tone, best songs, band at its best with that thrash/heavy metal ratio. Although I can't stand any of their stuff beyond the 80's, which ranges from boring to ultra cringe, so can't comment on those tones.
VHT 2/90/2 was blowing fuses on one channel a few months ago. A couple of resistors were fried. Amp tech said it was due to a bad power tube. Put new tubes in and replaced resistors and no problems for 8 months until yesterday it blew another fuse. I don't see any burnt resistors.
Amp tech had...
I’ve got a H&K Access and an ADA MP1 for different flavors of Hot Rod’d and a copy of the JCM800 pre section for raw tones. Had a Synergy BE-BB, would have kept if I wasn’t hurtin for money.
I have one, it’s legit. I’ve had his SLO, his JCM800, Recto and his E530 for a few years now. I A/B’d the E530 with a real one, sounds exactly the same but the EQ knobs have different frequencies/tapers. I would not trust the plastic shell on tour.
My Schecter Banshee Elite 7 absolutely crushes my Ibanez Prestige in every way. Ibanez are over valued, I assume from commanding such a big share of the affordable shreddy neck and 7 string market in decades past.
Agreed, although Gore Obsessed was kind of similar but with a better bass tone, but Blood Thirst was the best guitar tone they’ve recorded. But the bass tone on The Bleeding is fucking legendary in my book.
FWIW. I have 3 redbacks, one (older?) one with the black cardboard gasket, 2 (newer?) ones with cork gaskets, they’ve all been played around 90 hours at drummer volume. The cardboard gasket one is fairly dark, one of the cork ones is pretty neutral and the other cork one it pretty bright. I’m...
EVM12L
Redback
ET90
Celestion H75
Scumback H75
Haven’t gotten great recorded tones from the Redback and ET90 though.
Awesome pairs:
EVM12L/Redback (Best in the room)
EVM12L/Scum H75 (best recorded tone, great in the room)
ET90/C. H75 (Great in the room, haven’t tried recording yet)
Best by...
At some point after 2017 they started making their pickups with much less gain. Manufacture dates are on the backs of the pickups which makes it easy to verify in a comparison. I was on the phone with EMG a few years ago after they sent me a second 81 in a row that was lower gain, turns out they...
OP, you’re saying the attenuation indicator light is lighting up red on the interface with the attenuation knob turned fully down on the interface, or you’re saying that you hear clipping but there’s no visual indicator of clipping?
I have the same interface and multiple EMG 81-7 equipped...
