Glad to see the MAKO Mak 4 made it onto the list- something I'm considering for recording- actually in the same League for tones as these others? That says a lot .

On the 2 channel Rack - you can pick any 2 channels- are they "expanded " versions of the Channels from the MAKO 4 or very similar ? For sheer versatility- the MAKO 4 would still be the one, correct ? Have any of you guys tried the MAKO 4 as a recording Preamp directly into EFX and cab IRs ?

I don't know John but did talk to him a while back on the phone 'cause I had read about his earlier stuff. I was asking about a Pre that would also have a Power Tube for low power monitoring and or/ running into a Pa or larger Amp or DAW etc.- he came out with the Brick instead- a mini head...

I kick myself for selling my Koa Mockingbird Supreme also ! Neil Moser did it H-S-H for me with passive wiring and mini toggles for 40 plus pickup combinations-warm and excellent instrument. Ordered thru Rolls Music in Falls Church Virginia, but I was and am in Florida.

Posted this on another thread but thought I'd ask in a new thread. Since the Triptik has 3 Channels, is super versatile and has an unusually low noise floor- wouldn't it make a great Rack Preamp for recording into Cab IRs and for people who use a Cab Sim Live into a PA etc ? If Triptik...

I was going to ask Carol Ann and a few Triptik owners to see how the Preamp Out( EFX loop send ) sounds into EFX and Cab IRs- if it sounds great- Then the Preamp Section of the Triptik as a Rack Preamp would be a versatile Recording OR Live Preamp- with less Engineering on Carol Ann's...

I think I heard a few clips of a Friedman modded JCA -cheaper than a Marshall.

Thanks for the responses re the warmer, low and medium gain Tones- looks beautifully made and sounds like it has a good signal to noise Ratio also- could be great for Studio and maybe even into Cab IRs for super versatility when Recording. I saw where Fast Red Pony Car requested smoother...

Srommes and Sleewell - yeah was wondering when this Thread was coming to present BUT as long as you're here- is this pre voiced mostly for Metal and Harder stuff or will it do warm, sweet tones , clean to medium gain but warm ( vaguely Gilmour, EJ, Timmons ) smoother tones or would it need to...

It's too early to tell for sure but the Carvin Legacy 3 may be a good bet-

Very cool - with a special low wattage small magnet closed back speaker -that would be much better- but it sounds good for super low volume. Is the 50 watt this good at super low levels ? Oh yeah- these and the 50 watt are sounding surprisingly versatile to me- with the right Preamp Tube in...

As Stephen Sawall says above :but adding to it; The Tortex picks for example, are low on pick noise due to the material - and using .88 and 1.0 or larger since the rounded edge" wraps around the string" if you use the correct angle , and subtle circle picking, lessens noise even more. As...

Maybe you can offer one to Bonamassa - as the Brad King Signature Amp. Actually though if it's the best sounding he's made so far- must be scary good. I've been really impressed with the Triptik Clips I've heard as well, guessing they can have even more of that singing gain at lower volumes...

But as I pointed out on another Forum- it does sound a lot like the crunchy chords in "Turn Me Loose" which I think is cool. I'm sure it does a lot more but the Chords have a lot of clarity for that much gain - a good sign. And shows that 6V6s can sound BIG . I'd like to hear it sing on some...

Sounds like it has a lot of useable gain and could also do the "prettier " medium gain EJ/Gilmour Stuff ? Also, can it do some (not exact ) Plexi type tones ? Sounds like it might .

DJD- how different in Recording actual use is a good Guitar Tube Pre versus a Head in the final result for singing gain tones? I'm trying to assess whether we need Power Tubes in the signal chain or not- not enough clips yet to know. Also no clips of someone playing while someone dials through...

Hey Shark- I'm wondering if the Line Input using a good Guitar Tube preamp sounds almost as good as using a Head into the Power Amp in on the Live. In other words ,Can we get a great sound without Power Tubes in the signal chain ?

Version 8.0 has all that, except EJ and Landau didn't tweak the 7 string and Scorpions presets, and I heard they either couldn't find the "italo" guy or were scared to talk to him............Dumble switch bypasses the Crystal Lattice, making Tubes work even harder.

Yeah- I never would have guessed that in a million years 'cause I never heard of it. So - with a name like " Gaywhore " it HAS to sound great right ?

Floyds on a LP Body Style were illegal in Rhode Island until 2011..... Still a beautiful Guitar.
