Interesting. Your Dino is EL34 based or something else? I had a Mesa DC5 for a while (6L6 based), and that one also had awesome cleans and very 'immediate'... like the electrons already knew what you were going to play. With the graphic EQ you could make a caricature of the scooped Fender...

Well, he seems to refuse to post anything new here since...I don't know, early January? 🤔🙃 Luckily he has that FB safe space forum with Henning and the others, where they can circle jerk and gush over each other and complain to the outside world about death threats... Not from me. I was just...

Again... You're missing the point. Like you did when Simon used the word 'instead'... 🤪

Dude, on multiple occasions I've mentioned liking the Diezel Dmoll's cleans as some of the best ever, so yeah, they are talked about.

If you can find an original (NOS) RFT 12AX7 for V1, this will make the overall tone slightly thicker/bolder, maybe a hint smoother. And then throw in 2 5751's in V3 and V4 to tame the red channel. These are 70% gain opposed to 100% gain that a standard 12AX7 brings. The character remains, it...

You know you can remedy that a bit with rolling a few different preamp tubes and pairing it with not-too-bright speakers, right? I run my 6L6 EVH 50W (v1) through a vertical Mesa 2x12 or like most recently, through a full 3/4th stack of Marshall 2x12s, that have smooth G12-65's or...

Yeah, thinking back, I should've probably said "Animalize/Asylum" instead of Creatures. It's just... I was always a big Ace fan (early stuff and his cackle laughter) and he didn't play at all on Creatures... And don't get me wrong, those two albums ain't no gems either, but they had Tears Are...

I think part of the problem was, them being 90's heads, they would usually be paired with 90's (Marshall) cabs...containing...90's T75's. --->Tubby Screech City. If you have an SL-X and hook it up to a Greenback loaded cab, or a JCM800 cab with G12-65's, you'll probably end up with a decent...

I joined my first death/thrash band when I was 16... and they knew I was into Kiss, just like our bass player was (we always did the Paul and Gene faces in some rock bar when they played "I was made for lovin' you") so, when I turned 18, the other bandmembers got me a birthday gift... "Unmasked"...

Multiple folks did. @NorCal_Val and @jabps did on page 4.

Monkey my man... At least Lisa was only off by 7 months with Back in Black... Third Stage is from '86. 🤣

It most definitely seems that way if you're reading what some folks are spouting in OT... :whistle:

You're....you're....you're.... disingenuous. :p

Released July '80.... :censored:

AC/DC - Highway to Hell Boston - Boston Dire Straits - Dire Straits Pink Floyd - DSOTM Van Halen - Van Halen notable mentions: MJ - Off The Wall, Deep Purple - In Rock, Kiss - Alive I, Steely Dan - Aja

Same here. I think the vented and non-vented '86 are two different tones, but both perfectly useable... Slightly prefer the vented in the mix, although it's close to being a toss-up and the non-vented solo'd. The 2013 however.... Ooff. :cautious: Almost reminded me of late 90's Boss' COSM...

While I don't disagree on Holdsworth and Poland, I'm calling bullshit on your sweeping statement. Plenty of guys that were mentioned here could play a few notes and you could easily identify them purely based on phrasing. If a guy like Akira Takasaki is not unique enough, name one guy that...

Purely based on AJFA I would go with the non-vented ones, because the album tone is hardly middy and the vented ones will have richer/thicker mids, more akin to the G12-65s, so those would probably yield too much mids in combination with a Mesa Mark, even if you're scooping the hell out of it.

I saw Motörhead in '98 as well, even nabbed the setlist from the stage afterwards! It's one of the 3 defining moments that gave me some form of tinnitus. It was soooo loud, afterwards I didn't even hear the high pitched ring you usually hear after a loud show, but it sounded like a gas-leakish...
