Ill agree with you on the tone thing, Darrells tone stinks. but I think you are being a bit hard on his playing! I think Darrell does a fine job on the leads, but Allan definitely wins the prize...
Shit! Spreading the Disease/Among the Living are awesome. I havent listened those discs in years! Definitely picked up some rhythm chops from Scott, and his beard!
I love these threads, they are a great resource for finding new music (or 80s bands ive not heard of :lol: :LOL: )
Megadeth - Rust In Peace: This album taught me all my rhythm chops, single handedly. Also, Marty has influenced my lead playing, mainly through his note choice and note bending...
No matter how hard I try, I cant get it down. He is sick at it. When he does it up to full speed it sounds insane, very free flowing. Almost like a drunken saxophone player, haha. Ill try and find a video...
Call me boring, but i like the black w/maple board combination. The more battle scars on it, the better!
At a push, I would say Olympic White is second best, followed by Ocean Teal, or whatever they call it!
I have one, its a cool little thing. It adds tons of gain, or at least in my amp. I ran/run it in a JCM800 2204, with it engaged anything above half on the gain control is unusable (or at least to me and my sloppy playing!). I am under the impression that it can take a few tubes, not just the...
Interesting, I have been thinking about getting some greenbacks for a while, good to know that go well! :rock:
Out of interest, why did you get rid of your uni/bivalve?
I hear ya! You've been telling me this forever, haha. I dont need the 4x12 to be honest, im not in a band, but its nice to have one for jamming/posing :lol: :LOL: I guess i cant be bothered with the hassle of getting rid of the cab.
Maybe its time for a 2x12? Im worried its would be too loud...
Thats interesting, i was finding the more attitude i dialled in the more "life" i was getting from the amp. Maybe my ears are playing up :confused:
Do you have any recommendations for a darker preamp tube for v1? To be honest, I think its more the cab than anything. Its plagued me for too long...
Hey Dennis!
I havent tried any other tubes yet. Do you have any particular combinations you recommend? I think a fair few tubes will be on the Xmas list for me!
Picked up a THD Univalve from a fellow forumite (Dennis - thanks! Cant find your username though...), got to blast it today. Its seems like forever since I last bought/review an amp, so go easy on me!
My chain was:
American Strat (Stock Singles) -> Univalve (Stock 12x7s, Tesla EL-34) ->...
So just got to plug into my new Univalve for the first time, ill save judgement til tomorrow when I can get to my rehersal space and cab!
In the mean time I was hoping I could spent some time today doing silent recording from the Uni's line out, using my PODxt Pro as a speaker sim. I have it...
But its soo good! You can get it for far less over here though, I wouldnt pay $300 dollars.
Without getting too drawn into this thread, I would imagine the Spanish would be fairly anti-american too. Ive been all over Europe, the coolest people are the Germans, Dutch and the Scandinavians. They...
Hey, I have no input to this, but id be interested in hearing clips of the ensemble. Sounds like a very cool idea. Do you have anything?
Good luck on the amp search!
