Hate is such a household word it seems. Do you really believe its appropriate? I doubt the true meaning would apply to internet rig demo squabbling. Bitch" if someone calling me a bitch hurts or bothers me I obviously have issues I am not willing to admit or accept and move on from. Creating another account and hiding ones identity IMHO is completely spineless, especially over gear talk and clips. But as stated. MHO, simple

I haven't made one mention of hating him and none of my comments have been personal. I do not like the tone of alot of his clips. It's an opinion. I don't like any Mesa Amps, or the tone of any SLO, or Diezel I've heard. I also don't like clips where you can here the guitar strings because the amp volumes are to low and do not provide an accurate representation of an amp when pushed a little. I hate active pickups. These are all just an opinions and personal preferences and nothing more. None of my opinions equate to me hating anyone

I doubt he has even created another account... Once again, I think we should just end the discussion here :) I dig the clip and I think the amp sounds amazing, so...respect to the amp builder.
 
I think it sounds great... Reza's clips always sound a bit fizz to me so knowing that and knowing how a lot of these modded amps sound, I think it sounds just as good as any Friedman and can do the same thing for quite a bit less $. I'd rock that amp.

Interesting, respect to the amp builder" yet you post clips of other amps on THIS amp thread about who posted them and not even the amps. Defending the very thing your asking people to not post comments about. Be practical dude! Dont ask others to do what your obviously not willing to do. Typical. I dont give a shit who post what clips or comments. Its rig talk! Not diaper changing lessons for who broke my crayon. Sorry! Amp sounds great! I'd own one.
 
LOL ? if Rezas name wasnt the thread title or vid there would be half as many replies and they would all be positive.

The amp sounds great. 20 watts, fuck it sounds fantastic.

All be positive because we all have the same ears, right? :dunno: my original response was simply offering an explanation why the very first response to V2A was a negative comment. More or less defending V2A with my honest opinion that Reza's videos, just don't cut it for me tonally. I've said before, I've never interacted with him on any forum and.its.been many years. There is no reason for me to target him and unecessarily go out of.my way to bash him. We all simply aren't going to have the same tastes on tone and how to dial in an amp. And guess what? That's Okay.

Yes.
 
I enjoy a variety of styles of reviews, nobody likes the same style. I think the amp sounds good in the OP, i will take a listen through my monitors later.

If I am hearing a demo of an amp, I like to hear both how it sounds in the room as well as recorded through a mic. Preferebly a common microphone.

I get the least out of a review in a heavily processed mix with ten tracks being ran through a whole mess.
 
Here are my thoughts after hearing through monitors, I noticed more how I did like how the Reza dude dialed it in. In my humble opinion I would not go about demonstrating the way the Reza did. I think that it sounds decent but I think the way that it was demonstrated, it could likely sounded a lot better.

V2, nice stuff, I see you are showing good potential. Thumbs up bro! I would prefer to hear a different demo of it. I think the amp could sound better. Good luck! I am happy to see 6V6 lower wattage high gain amps popping up. One question, are the switches footswitchable? Or just on the head?
 
I'm not digging the sound of the amp itself but the demo sounds good to me.
 
For anyone who wasn’t around a few years ago, things got heated with Reza in off topic. Several people were over the line in attacking him; I think a lot of it was left wing vs right wing nonsense

I love Reza clips. The guy has a killer stable of amps and produces a lot of content for us to hear.

Thx for mentioning that... Cheers
 
I've learned to take recordings/clips with a grain of salt. Most of the time, they really don't represent, (fully), their true tones.

Getting into a shit-storm, and criticizing recording techniques, playing, etc, is basically redundant, and accomplishes nothing. I know some of you are just technical geniuses, know everything, and own the best gear, but, more than not, are really just full of yourselves and legends in your own minds.
 
One thing I found odd was that the gain was dimed most of the time. I can't remember the last time I have ran setup at full gain. It just seems odd for a review. Maybe that is why the clipping is so extreme.

If I may ask how to these paid demos go? Is he told what settings to use? And with what gear? Is there any integrity in this scenario at all? Is he free at all to state a real opinion?

In this particular instance, it wasn't a paid demo. I asked Reza (and JerEvil) for feedback on my amp and to make a demo if he felt it was good enough to show to the world. Both guys genuinely seemed to like the amps. Reza tried it out Friday night, made a clip Saturday morning, and shipped it back to me by Sat afternoon!

Here's what Reza said on Friday night (on the MLP messaging system): "Well, WOW. what an incredible sounding amplifier. One of the best I have played. Great job dude! Will shoot vid tomorrow."

For the record:
1. I like Reza's demos. And I had his heavy style in mind when I tweaked this particular amp.
2. Reza normally doesn't do free demos (as far as I know). He and JerEvil have been very kind to me (due to some personal circumstances).
3. I don't think Reza was just faking his like for the amp. He did have some critical/negative feedback about my lousy website.
