Not a 2203, but I dimed my 100w SLX through a Boogie 280w Recto 4x12. Loud? You bet.
But, it was glorious. Especially when the gain and sensitivity were backed down. Played a Strat into it, and it was Blackmore’s “Made In Japan” tone.
When I first started playing, a gazillion years ago, I loved EVH’s tone sound, and how gain-y it sounded. But, I didn’t like AC/DC’s guitar tone sound. Of course, I didn’t realize how close in sonic DNA they were to each other. Needless to say, I now love that Marshall-y goodness of AC/DC’s...
I stand corrected. The Black Sun mode is a mod.
My Helios most definitely doesn’t have that.
Having said that, I can get damn close to the sound/tone Ola gets in that video.(while using my Charvel Danhagge signature guitar)
Saw Badlands on the “Voodoo Highway” tour, in Sacramento, at the venerable Boardwalk. Jake played through 2 red, full Marshall stacks. His onstage volume was insanely loud. And it sounded fantastic.
I put a Duncan Alternative 8, in my LTD Desert Eagle. I dig it. It’s sorta like a JB without that annoying mid-range spike.
It is a hot pickup, just so ya know.
I have the Quarter Pounder in 3 super strat style guitars. In 2 of those, I have fairly hot humbuckers in the bridge position. The Quarter Pounder keeps up nicely with both.
