Carstens Amplification Supergrace!

[hellzington]

This looks awesome. I just ordered one and cannot wait to spend some time with it. I really like that you effectively get two different amps, plus a handful of new features that were not on the original Grace like the boost, three way bright switch, and reverb. The decision to include a small solid state power amp is very clever.

I also love that Billy is including the actual IRs he uses. It sounds great going direct into the board. I am especially curious how well the Grace side cleans up and morphs compared to the real amp. What do you all think?

It sounds pretty good. What's the price tag?

$629 at Sweetwater. Definitely not the cheapest pedal on the market but you do get a lot for the money.

Ssuper cool. Well, except for the big brick that powers it.

I can't wait to check out your video about it. I have very rarely gotten excited about this type of pedal, but a guy that plays the amps you have; for you to be excited kind of intrigues me

That is awesome. The sabbath tone he got sounded great. I definitely want to try one these. Are they available now?

Sweetwater has them. There’s a chance I might pull the trigger on one of these soon even with the lame power supply brick. I checked out a couple of clips and it sounds pretty damn good.

They are. There's one up the 5 from me that I'm probably gonna go grab tomorrow.

Well???? Did you end up getting one? Thoughts?

Early Sabbath tones in a pedal format pretty much seals the deal for me, nice!

Hellzington, I know this is a bit off topic, but any chance you might be making more youtube videos? I've really enjoyed a number of them including your Snorkler review, undervalued guitars, and guitar youtubers vids. Always appreciate hearing your thoughts and helpful information you share.

I second this. I ran across his channel checking out the mesa iic+ ri and really liked the chill hang vibe. Mike should definitely put out more vids

I haven't yet. I had one in my cart at Sweetwater and they sold out. I'll have one by next week, though.

Funny you should bring that up! I'm working on a video today. I've been banking ideas for the past month or so.

Thanks for the nice comment. Ya know, it's a hard balance to strike between "chill hang vibe" and "high quality audio demo." Every time I do a more chill video, people complain that there isn't all the audio production that is in some of my other videos. When I do one with all the audio production, everyone says they just want an iPhone video or they say, like you, that they enjoy my more "off the cuff" / "chill" videos. No one on the internet is ever happy!

Don't worry about what people say. Make the videos you want. You are doing an excellent job
