I need something for a few dbs of boost for leads. I was using a 10-band EQ but got tired of the sliders shifting when transporting the board around. I could get a simple Micro Amp but looking to see what's out there that is more interesting or does something I didn't know I needed. I was...
Another difference that could be a consideration is that the DI on the id14 is 500k while on the id22 and id44 is 1meg, which IMO is a pretty significant difference for an instrument DI. If instrument DI is important, I think it could be worth a bit more to get the id22. I had the id14 for...
If you are still having a guitar cab on stage, the Cab M or BluBox will go between the amp and cab, no need to split the signal. Then take signal from the box to the PA. You don’t a load box as long as you have the cab.
The BluBox isn’t great. For the price I’d look elsewhere. The tone knob could be useful live but the stock IRs leave a bit to be desired compared to other offerings. It’s fairly dummy/proof though, so if you aren’t experienced with IRs or know what you want, I guess it could be a good option...
So he increases the output volume, and added more clipping stages? Yet, most people run the drive at zero and stock already had enough to push the input on any amp, so the output volume doesn't need to 2.5x or whatever.
Yes, 8 ohm speakers sound significantly better to me, especially when playing loud. The fact that many 2x12s are loaded with 16 ohm speakers is a major reason I could never bond with 2x12s.
This last album's tones were a big boring IMO, maybe leaning away from the 33/TC pre is the reason. That's a bigger part of their sound than the Rectos, tbh. Lundgrens and a TC into almost any modern high gainer is going to get close enough to that sound.
Unless I personally know someone, I don't hold shit for anyone. The first person to put my money in my hand/account gets the gear. I've tried to hang onto things and be a good guy, but it's bit me in the ass too many times.
This thing sounds nuts. I have a major problem with delay pedals... it's the only effect I really use, and I've stockpiled way too many... but I'm probably going to snag this one too...
I'll forever love the OG 5150 II.. not the 5150 block letter. The II was better and I will die on that hill. The 50w III blue channel is high on my list too though. I never had the version with concentric pots... was anything changed in it other than the addition of the pots?
