Boosted Marshall Jub = Poorman’s Wizard MC?

Wish I could try a wizard here in Texas because I’m not hearing anything I like. Every wizard video sounds too bright and too open. Like my ultralead but brighter, which I don’t like either. Just not for me I guess? My engls are much more for me. (Invader 2 and savage). I just don’t get it.

A lot of people hear the wizard love and get confused because the amp doesn't sound like what they would expect.

If you like compressed amps, a wizard isn't for you. The punch and immediacy are very much impressive, but they are very open.

I have played a few compressed amps, and they can be fun. They are especially fun for people with sloppy technique because they hide it quite well. It is always odd when I hear open as a derogatory term.

But long story short, there are plenty of wizards in texas, and if you want to try one, come to an amp fest. What city are you in?

Good. It’ll save me a lot of money lol!

If you like Engl I would look at amps like the 5150. They are more similar. Very compressed sounding. Not necessarily a bad thing. I like 5150’s and the Engl Ritchie Blackmore for some things.
In a trio setting Wizards are awesome, they fill up the room.
