    What do you think of the H&K Tubemeisters?

    I noticed a little thinness or brittleness on the T18 demos( but still sounding very good) even with Blug playing-is it really a big difference with the JJs ? I'm hoping the T36 with the extra preamp tube ( 3 12AX7 VS. 2 ) is warmer, thicker,chewier etc. and even better than the...

    What do you think of the H&K Tubemeisters?

    Say you're on a Break and want to quick scramble some Eggs- Lead Channel or Clean Channel- Thinking the Lead Channel would be hotter , right ? Just heating Coffee- clean channel at 5 watts...... I do want to hear the Tubemeister 36- it has 3 12AX7s instead of two on the T18. Third Preamp...

    NAD. EVH mini

    True- But one possibility- is that the Amp shipped with a BAD preamp tube in V1. On my old Hughes @ Kettner Tubeman Pedal/Preamp putting in a JJ803s instead of the "Groove Tubes" ( could have been anything- Grooove Tubes does/did NOT make Tubes ) WAS a night and day difference- at medium to...

    NAD. EVH mini

    Congrats. Surprising that one Preamp Tube can make that much difference- important to remember.

    I might have to sell my new Kemper profiling Amp.....

    Yeah- I'm not into tweaking beyond a certain point- but I've been very impressed with the tones on some Axe FX clips- if the Kemper is as good as you say and especially if it sounds great direct for recording- Even though it looks like Star Trek Episode 143- I'll probably have to get one...

    Final Cherry Bomb Boards - Now with more cherries!

    .......Maybe a Little Very Neat Blob of Black Goop( to stay in character with the Circuit Board ) that has nothing underneath. When do we get to hear a Demo - looks like it needs Tubes and a Guitar plugged in and that's it- right ?

    New Laney Iron Heart amps...

    The Amp seems to have a lot of cool features. Input gain control so you can have really pristine cleans or adjust for single coils etc. or dirtier cleans. Wattage control- dial way down for practice etc. Tons of Gain and seems to be deep voiced and warm- I don't do Metal but the Amp sounds...

    Tom Anderson Bulldog Vid Clips

    Love the Warm Crunch of that Guitar and Amp ( didn't know this is how Mark 4 s sound ). And very nice melodic stuff in your playing- the room Clips on second vid really are excellent ! Not a hint of harshness in the Tones but it's still really crisp and Crunchy and love the emotion in your...

    NGD: Reb Beach KOA!!!

    Beautiful ! Is it still pretty warm/fat sounding even with the Floyd ? Love the red/orange highlights in the Grain and the Flame.

    Pao Ferro vs. Roasted Maple Necks

    I believe you- but I've not experienced bright Koa ( yet, hopefully never ). Years ago Luthier Michael Tobias told me Koa is a versatile wood 'cause you get good spank in single coil modes but still big fat Humbucker tones- and he was right. I get a lot of warm ,audible resonance from the wood-...

    Stainless Frets, or Nickel? Whats the deal?

    For those that do hear/feel a difference with Stainless and don't like it- There's a Fretwire called EVO Gold which is halfway between Nickel and Stainless but wears very slowly, closer to Stainless according to most. It's the stock Fretwire on the Les Paul Supreme- feels very close and...

    Low Wattage Amps

    Re: Tubemeister 18 - sounds good but the Tubemeister 36 which has 3 12 AX7 s instead of 2 I feel will probably be a better sounding Amp. And people mentioned the Egnator Amps- also the Jet city 22 Head is pretty versatile but needs a Mod to get real clean on the "clean" channel. ENGL...

    Excellent Demo. GREAT Amp ! Sounds like the best Marshall I've ( now ) heard.

    Legacy 3 review by Premier Guitar

    Yeah- in order to Demo an Amp IMO you have to have some dialing in ability and you have to have a good vibrato and some ability to make notes sing- shredding is fairly unimportant( although it could demo articulation ) but need some "touch ". I hate to come off as a guitar technique or tone...

    New WOS user - Is there a complete CAB list?

    Thanks for the responses- yes Sysexguy- that makes sense that merely dialing through the Cabs ( IRS ) without adjusting the entire system to optimize them wouldn't be fair or accurate to how good they can be, perhaps a series of Cab IR Demos which are NOT in real time where the entire signal...

    what do you think is the best all-around amp head?

    Thank You very much - this does help and I heard a good video on this Preamp and understand what you mean. Channels are very different from each other and especially the first 3 have a versatility of gain range /response in each channel, has a beefy, wide bandwidth sound on all channels ...

    Martin Kidd's new amp line KILLS! Olympic Amplification.

    Wow! I love how warm and fat and thick the pushed cleans, low, medium and medium high gain tones are on this- I don't play any kind of Metal- but this is one of the warmest high gain Amps I've heard judging from the Demo- beautiful, blooming, harmonic warmth etc. Too bad - sounds like it will...

    Engl gigmaster 15 vs h & k tubemeister 18

    Bump on this thread- Sikor- do you find the Tubemeister 36 with the extra 12AX7 has a bit more of a rich thicker Overdrive tone compared to the 18 Watt ? Only 2 quick demos with Thomas Blug - other Demo- the guy is running the 36 direct through a Palmer and not optimum. On the Live...

    Best Amp for a Friedman mod?

    I think you can get him to Mod the JCA 20 JCA22 and the bigger watt JCA Amps as well.
