Bay Area Thrash Mod V2

[Anje]

Yes, sounds great!
@Exo-metal , what do think of this new V2, by itself and compared to your other Langner mods?
I'd think the difference may especially be a "feel" thing when playing?

 

[bennyslo]

Sounds great, very punchy and tight

 

[Simon Dorn]

This is also why attractive plug-and-play "mods" that you plug into a tube socket only get you so far...

I had the same impression.
What about boosting the shit out of the Amp? Technically you would, more or less, run into the same issues you described, right? Or maybe it's just pushing the Amp way beyond it's physical limits, but it still works inside the given frame, so to say...

 

[Purgasound]

Sounds great. Nice work.

Incredible, best one yet. Feel/punch and clarity all there and then some. I absolutely love it. We couldn't crank it up there like we do at my place. When Mike has time we promise to. More clips coming, hopefully soon!

 

[Anje]

Thanks for the feedback and playing & sharing those clips with us!
Great work Mike

Man you weren’t kidding on the tightness. It definitely has more of a growl to it and is brighter. I actually think I like the Creamback clip more - it brings out more of the highs you voiced it for. IMO my greenbacks need some volume behind them to accentuate the highs - there’s a sweet spot that’s definitely not apartment friendly.

I wouldn’t say one version over the other is better - they both sound great.

Thanks! But yeah, I definitely prefer this version. And the Creambacks. You're right, the Greenbacks need more volume to get them to open up a bit.

Boosting a stock amp? Yeah, that gets you to a certain place. But you won't get the same tightness, feel, and aggression. You're slamming the front end of the amp, not changing the voicing, EQ filtering, B+ filtering, etc. All of these methods have their place. Just comes down to what sound you're after.

Yeah Mike’s right on this one. Infinitesimally more things to worry about, but definitely more control over what’s happening sonically. I’m not and never have been a fan of boosting an amplifier unless it’s to get the greasy feeling under the fingers for solos. For tightness there’s no comparison - diving in and changing what makes an amplifier tick is what does it for me.

100%

Boost a lose amp to get it tight enough to play. But better is to have an amp that is tight enough to play

For some reason I read that like a Sun Tzu quote. "Is better to fart in fan, than fan the fart".

It made sense when I wrote it, lmao.

But I have a lot of wisdom to share. I just made a custom tshirt also.

Yeah those are very, very different things

Both have their place, sure

But theres a huge difference between a boosted normal amp and an amp that doesn't require a boost

This reminds me of something. In Junior high, I got all the girls to sign a petition to end women's suffrage.

I thought it was funny at the time, but it was tough to get a date for awhile

I may have to custom make a second t shirt:

End the horror that is women's suffrage

Sounds like a million bucks.

[thrashinbatman]

this is my amp. been wanting Mike to mod it for a while, but i just had so much shit come up that it got indefinitely delayed for a while. it was really funny when i sent it to him, because when he first got it, he'd just send me a new list of things wrong with it every few hours for like 2 days lol. i'm legitimately shocked that it functioned at all in its condition. i'm gonna take some clips of it miked up once he gets it back to me. it's basically a completely different amp now haha.
