After hearing my VH4 through all the cabs in my signature, the best all around IMO was Mesa Recto with V30s. I'm looking to take a bare Recto 4x12 and in an x pattern use my 2 EV black shadows and 2 G12 Century NXT for a killer combo. Black shadows mic'd for all solo's and NXT for everything else.

You talking about this speaker? https://celestion.com/product/g12k-100/ If so there's so much more 2-4000hz vs most other speakers that if you dropped this into a toilet and it'll have the bite Metal guitarists like. 4 of these will have a big treble difference, an X like mentioned would be...

Sweetwater couldn't get me the amp, yet Bogner had it ready, that's about as far as I'll go. I'll get mine through my GC contact. I'm probably selling my TJ, this Ultra amp is great, fixed some minor issues and expanded the tones possible which makes it hard to not have if you're an Uber fan...

Now that's interesting, the VH2 is an evolution amp, not identical but core DNA is from greatness, very nice.

Build one huh, well that's a bucket really deep to get into but here's what I'd say for buying one of them now vs building... Study up, your gonna need more than just slapping parts together to find your tone blend you're looking for. Your gonna need $ to do so this, transformers and tweaks...

M90 Did it come out in 08? Any idea how many of the M90s might've been made? Is there a tech in the US that's considered "The M90 Guy"? Thanks

Though this is 13 years old, no one recommended the OP to get rid of the mixed drink of tubes first, get new ones he prefers, biased and then listen. This might cost more but getting the amp back to how it was designed would be ideal before changing it up. Because if you mod a Frankenstein of...

Oh, I was under the impression the VH2 was purposely made as a more affordable VH4 with channels of 1 and 3 of the VH4. I didn't know it might be its own beast, sounds like it's close but not the same. Then other posts are people saying channel 2 of VH2 is the best gain channel and they sold...

The Invader 2 is probably one of the most versatile amps made with 3 unique tone channels (3+4 are mainly tightness and mids differences in mine), high gain buttons and an original heavy gain structure that's a step above the Fireball IMO. Throw in midi, the tube diagnostics and multi master...

Agreed 2 channels is usually enough for most metal players, I like 3 minimum for metal so there's a dedicated 3rd channel for leads to add gain, change the eq and bump the volume etc. The Uberschall will cost much more than a Nitro if that matters, also only the new Uber Ultra has fixed the...

That's a lot of 80s 90 bands but Richie Kotzen, he's a great guitarist, good to see he's still out there. There's gonna be a lot of divorced Milf's on that MOR ship so if that's your thing, go to the Winger, Extreme, Slaughter and Firehouse shows. LOL

These are tough questions because who's actually played a bunch in real time, recorded them through the same gear, playing the same thing music and then compared? Not many do this, it's usually you heard the amp years ago or months ago, then you're hearing a different one today and trying to...

Mesa Recto 4x12 with Celestion V30, I've done many cab show downs, even rookie players rank it 1 or 2 in the shootout. Hard to beat in the all around time category vs specific tone preferred.

Nitro is unique, it's worthy of being in your stable of amps but... The Herbert is better for live playing, midi etc and honestly the best metal amp out there. Triple Rec needs helps to tighten up, when it does it turns its a great Metal amp too. The Nitro is tighter and has a different gain...

Nitro fan here.... My Resonance is at 8am My Bass is at 9am IMO, These amps have too much bass, there's not enough control of the whole spectrum if you're at 8am and 9am on the whole low freq range. I know metal guys like the thunder but good God this is too much thunder for those poor...

The Headrush has a PowerBall amp sim in it, you can get these used for a decent price, $450, and possibly going lower since Prime replaced it.

Metal grille = Classic, Iconic and Metal!! I wasn't buying my TJ without it on there. Good to know you can buy these separately.

2020 TJ custom owner here, Sweetwater was a disaster then, they had issues beyond what I'd call professionalism, I wouldn't buy a Bogner through them. Sounds great, 2.0 with the new additions really stands out, it's the same yet because of the new tweaks you can do, it goes beyond the older...

So as a buyer of an customized Uberschall in 2020, curious.... Still 2 channels? No midi? Master volume goes from 1.5 to 5 with an 1/16 of an inch move? KT88s not available? Clean channel volume on 10 equals channel 2 volume on 3? All the knobs on channel 2 act like someone swapped the names of...

Until you find an amp tech that's anal and can actually accurately test tubes, I'd just chalk up any used amp you get needing a FULL retube until you hear it, record or and compare to other amps. And at minimum, preamp tubes all being swapped for matched and balanced. Usually amps are sold by...
