Was obsessed by him for a long time. Learned all the solos from "The Eye" years ago... I really loved the old King Diamond Abigail Live. Then he played on Death's "Individual Thought Patterns" :rock:
So now rig-talk members don't like Vulgar Display Of Power and Far Beyond Driven ? LOL that's quite unexpected. I think both are masterpieces but what do I know ?
As a direct competitor, I'd rather say he's on shaky ground. My SLO DeYoung tranny emits a slight buzz when I really push the thing. I never heard DeYoung trannies labeled as sub-par. I wouldn't pay $3.5K for a new Marshall either but for $2K used, why not ? Paying new price on high-end guitar...
Nothing wrong with that. When a boutique manufacturer releases a mundane/done-a-million-time-already amp at an outrageous price, it's always and de facto somehow justified by fairy dust/crystal lattice/black gooped mystery. Marshall doesn't need that. Good for them.
Yeah, obviously I know that but I like having the switches and front-panel decals properly done at the factory. It's stock. The mk2C+ is a slightly modified amp yet it commands stratospheric prices because the mod was done at the factory.
I like my Gibson Axcess. The price was outrageous. I...
I like the tone of both the 1959 and 800 modified on the Marshall/Steve Smith videos. Seems to me both amps sound really good. Yeah it could be cheaper, yeah it could have more switches, yeah it could have been done differently/sooner/later/never yadda yadda.
It sounds pretty good. That is all...
Kinda off-topic but I was shocked recently by the new price of EVM 12L Classic.
I needed to replace a V30 in a closed back 1x12.
I checked on Thomann and they are €539 (!!!) new. WTF ??!!??
I bought one in 2017 for €239 which at the time was already kinda crazy compared to all the other speakers...
Two Thiele cabs will sound huge no matter what ! Phenomenal bass and smooth treble. But I would use the 4x12s for dry and the Thiele for wet. I'm waiting for a good deal in my neighborhood on two thiele to use with my Mesa 2:90.
