When I heard the chugg factor I was wondering if there was some Larry in there.. It sounded how I imagine a Larry would. That was crushing.. Do you play all the rhythm parts or use a Di track and re-amp. I am brand new o recording so pardon my clueless questions, but I would like to learn...
Excellent point. I was wondering how Blake got it to sound like that. Makes sense.. That amp will rip your face off in the room with the master only on about 1/3 to 1/2 way up., The amp is quite bright, open, snarly and loud in the "expand/ loose " mode.
It is a good one. I should have kept it. It is for sure one of my top faves of recent memory... but I am and probably always will be a revolving door when it comes to amps. I buy 'em then sell 'em and the buy the same amps again. over and over again. Bogner, Marshall, Soldano, Mesa Marks...
The Schizo switch on Telos does seem to have more pronounced voicing than the Jb45. maybe that is just because one has 5 or 6 clicks and the other is graduated, but I think you are right, Telos Schizo more of a chameleon effect and drastically alters the voice on each click. Tough call...
I reread your initial post. If you really crave the Marshall voice, then Helios or Jb45 and of those, I would take the Jb45 for sure. The Jb45 has very powerful voicing switches for both the pre amp ad power amp so you can dial it to be vintage or not. I think these power voicing switches...
Tha Atma is cool for what it is and because of it's size earned a recommendation but sonically I dont think it innerly the amp the others are. Helios 50 is great, but It is squarely in Marshall camp, as is the JB45 but it had more versatility. I have been on a tear lately buying and trying all...
I have had almost every amp Bogner has released. Atma,Helios, JB45, or XTC 3534 fit the bill. ( on the XTC I would get the latest iteration of the 50 watter even though it exceeds your wattage needs.. as does the JB but the MV is outstanding on those amps.
I think the fizz and flub is how these guys are dialing it in. especially Reza... My friend Steve, aka Tonedog, loves his and he has good ears and similar taste, so I have to think these clips are not a great example.
. That zero channel sounds cool and something different. The Blue and Red channels sound more modern than what I associate with the XTC. Not gonna form any real opinion based on these two clips. Both seem to dial in too much fizz and flub for me... but to each his own. I am sure that amp...
I think they definitely scratch that itch and they play and sound great as they are. Aftermarket pups may make it closer, but I always leave my PRS as is and let them just stay in their lane so to speak. For fat LP chunk, I think best to just straight to he source and get a LP. but that is...
Just got one with new switches.. they do add a lot of extra tonal options, but the base tone even without using the new switching options is really good.
Reinhold has done many other Marshall mods other than Snorkler. Most are one-offs based on customer requests. I have had 3 Bogner modded Marshalls over and played a couple others and they were all very different. Only one was similar to the Snorkler.
I have had a few single cuts and a HB II. I think they are incredible guitars and they do not suffer as badly from the plastic, nasal tone that so many other do. Not sure what it is but, it is the PRS sound and fortunately the 594 has less, but still when a/b with e LP. The LP sounded beefier...
That was a cool shop, strategically located right across the street from GC on Sunset! Sad it closed down. I wonder if GC becoming a Mesa dealer had something to do with it? and if so... which was the cart and which was the horse?
