    JCM800KK if you have a 2204 w/fx loop?

    I watched a little about the Badlander, sounded freaking awesome. I think that or a IIC+ RI would be really up my alley. I feel like the 90s RI might be just a massive sized overkill for me. The BL size is pretty nice to go along with that sound. Any downsides to it or the IIC+ RI?

    JCM800KK if you have a 2204 w/fx loop?

    Thank you! You all have put Mesa back on my radar. I had a Tremoverb once and sold it thinking I preferred Orange, then I had a Mark IV that started smoking and has now sat at a tech's shop for oh, maybe, 6 years now? Kind of have given up on it. I have a Vox, Fender and Supro and like them for...

    JCM800KK if you have a 2204 w/fx loop?

    Awesome, glad for more feedback, thanks! While it would've been cheaper, I think I'll be happier with a BE. I will look at the Badlander, too, but I don't know a lot about it. Would you sell a Butterslax or EVH 5153 100S to fund it? I think the Slax would obviously be much closer to the same...

    JCM800KK if you have a 2204 w/fx loop?

    I wanted to hear that. I'd heard it before somewhere. I'm officially off the KK ledge for now. lol I have other stuff that covers me for my 90's/country band stuff, it's really about trying more Friedman. I sold a ton of stuff I liked a lot a couple of days ago so I could try stuff I hope to...

    JCM800KK if you have a 2204 w/fx loop?

    That's where I think my heart is. I had one years ago and didn't realize that it could actually do the JJ's sound right on according to Dave (via this site) and got rid of it too quickly. I jumped to deciding it wasn't what I expected, was too smooth and polite and was probably just mad at...

    JCM800KK if you have a 2204 w/fx loop?

    Reasonable. It's good advice. Surely could get close to the KK with a boost and/or mr scary mod and a noise pedal. I've just always wanted one for the KT88's and it being a 2203 (versus my 2204), mostly, the built in features are just also nice. So definitely wouldn't sell an 84 2204 to fund one...

    If you already had an 84' 2204 with an added FX loop, would you buy a KK 2203? Was looking at Friedman BE 100 Deluxe and JJ 100's as well.

    Orange 4x12, speaker decisions!

    I fear they'll be too dark for the Orange cab, that's been a concern I've had about them. The CV-75's were kind of perfectly at that spot where they just sounded right in it. Unfortunately I bought the 8 ohm version of those and ended up deciding I want to get back to 16. What kind of cab do you...

    Orange 4x12, speaker decisions!

    I'd like to find some of the better V30's. I will need to sell some of these first. I had a second PPC412 a couple years back but sold it since I liked the EVH cab better. I'm about to just suck it up and buy another 4x12 to stick the EV's in. Might get something with speakers I can resell and...

    Orange 4x12, speaker decisions!

    @Klauth It's mostly for blasting. Might I just be smarter to stick the EVM's in a 2x12 so I can crank the two harder as well and leave the V30's in the Orange? I love having casters on it, it is so much nicer to not have to walk it around. lol The thought of rocking the 4 EVM's is always...

    Orange 4x12, speaker decisions!

    How does that 1x12 sound cranked with the EVM? I've never done that. I have a Peavey 2x12 I've had shoved aside to sell but I may just stick two of the EVM's in there. It won't be 4, but it's open/closed back optional. I can't imagine it won't sound awesome. It just won't be 4x12 awesome.

    Orange 4x12, speaker decisions!

    @romanianreaper That's where I am with it. Not exciting. I like them fine and that's all. Those Neo Creambacks sound great in the demos. I have had the M65's and didn't care for them, at least not compared to other speakers I've had at the time. I always choose the Neo's in the demos versus...

    Top 5 amps of all time that you have owned and why?

    EVH 5153 100s - I've tried to sell it, I've tried to tell myself it's too generic in a modern EVH-ridden world but it sounds so awesome that I can't quit it Friedman Butterslax - The clean channel is mind-blowingly cool and the angry channels have so much clarity. I prefer it to the BE100D I had...

    Orange 4x12, speaker decisions!

    For reference; I use a Quad Cortex with a Fryette PS100 most and favor EVH/Marshall type sounds. Also I have other cabs. One is an EVH 4x12 with the G12EVH's. Another is the Friedman 412/15 with G12H30's and Fullbacks. And a PPC212 with a Redback/alnico Gold. My favorite combinations have been...

    Carcass/Obituary recent show

    It just feels kind of good knowing Carcass and Obituary are playing live and sounding good.

    EVH 5150 III 4x12

    I would say bass isn't it's strongest-suit, but when I take the casters off and put it on the floor and crank it, it does a great job in my opinion. Doesn't sound like an Orange 4x12. lol But, you know. I had a Friedman 4x12 with the Greenbacks/V30's when I got the BE100-D and really preferred...

    What Orange amp do you have?

    After much regret for selling a RV I and returning a MK III (the reverb was messed up and I didn't care to replace it), I finally got another MK III RV 100. I think the color pulled me in and the difference from all the Marshalls held on. I love Marshall's but I had so many of that type of sound...

    EVH 5150 III 4x12

    I have one and love it like crazy. Well made and I think the EVH speakers sound incredible. I had some Chinese Greenbacks (which some say they prefer I think I read?) and I didn't like them nearly as well. To each their own, certainly.
