I also picked up a Wizard Rock Standard on recommendation from @WizardSouth-JP
You would probably really dig that one: MTL style controls and tone sculpting, but sounds (and feels) more vintage, like, hot plexi through modded 800 style tones.
Ya, it is my first Wizard KT amp. I like them all, really, but the KT's are a bit different and I am really digging it. If you get a chance to try one, definitely give it a go!
I got it off a forum bro, @Clp45
I am really loving it man: more hi-fi sound with bigger bottom, top end presence and more neutral mids. Keeping the contour dimed though still gives plenty of kerrang!
I recently scored an MCII KT150....absolute tremendous thump, punch and clarity in an amp that already has that in spades. I can see why guys love the big bottles in their Wizards.
I can only imagine how rediculous a KT200 HellRazor or MTL would be....
I recently picked up a 210H. I essentially grabbed it with the intent to sell to a buddy who needs/wants a cheaper 100w head.
It has actually surprised me. Good clean and jcm 800 (ish) crunch on the first channel that takes a boost well. Kinda like how a DSL is. Its second channel is a cut...
Well....that '98 Ecstasy is one of the best multi-tool amps ever made and a Rev Blue is a great partner for that Bogner tone/feel, just more on the aggressive side of things.
Ya, the Green is less tweakable compared to the Blue. The presence/mid interplay is similar, but it does indeed always...
I am in the minority, but I preferred my Rev Blue to my Rev2. It is a "tamer" amp, but still classic Uberschall, wall of sound tone IMO. Definitely is a great lead amp and the interplay between the presence and mid controls is massive. Similar feel to my Ecstasy Red channel, but way more gain...
Really great video review, well done! I REALLY need to play a VII in the near future here.
The Crunch mode on my old MKV was my favorite/most played mode on that amp. I asked a Boogie rep what it was based on and was told the Crunch was,"Inspired by the vintage high gain mode on our...
I had a MkV for a good while. It is certainly a very versatile amp: great cleans, the best rhythm 2 channel to date, rectifier tube option and power scaling.
It was an amp I really dug for at home playing and some of the little riff recording I did with it, absolutely sounded authentic Mark...
Ya I picked one up in 2001 for $300 Canadian. Glad it was cheap, as it didn't impress me. My friends Triaxis, as well as the mkiv I got later, smoked it.
Oh I know man....and I wasn't throwing shade at all! :)
While I do not have your exceedingly descriptive vocabulary when talking about amps strong/weak points, I most certainly agree with alot of what you like and dislike overall.
Like with modern amps, I think they distil and filter so much...
It is a cool concept, no doubt. But it is absolutely a "jack of all trades, master of none" type of deal.
If you want a ton of different Diezel flavors, including some that are exclusive (ex. Modern setting), you may dig it!
However, most guys....especially the gear nuts on a board like this...
You mean saturated? Well, when you set "shape 1, classic" which I was told was Herbert (shape 0 = VH4 = tightest; shape 2 = Hagen = loosest....all classic setting), it can definitely get more saturated in the red channel, or highest gain channel.
That said, all the high gain Diezels have a...
My answer from having both a 2022 VHX and mkiii Herbert at the same time is "kinda".
It can do a pretty good job of copping the overall vibe (response, feel and tonality) of a Herbert. But the Herbert will really outshine the VHX in 2 places: 1. At volume and 2. Using downtunings. In both...
