:yes: Everytime I crank this up I'm amazed. I'm an old Van Halen freak as you will hear:

 
I was going to say that there was no way in hell that you were sitting in front of that amp while it was dimed and still able to hear / live to tell about it :hys:!! I had to rewind back to the beginning of the video where it said that you were using the Ultimate attenuator and then it made total sense :lol: :LOL: :rock:
 
It was still pretty loud. I have sat in front of it before with no attenuation. Its insane...

I prefer the beginning tone where it's brighter (channel 1), sounds gainier.

Oh Believe me I don't doubt for a second that it was still loud as hell hahahahahaha! Ive sat in front of my 72 marshall when it was cranked and it was enough to make me feel nauseous!! I most definitely DO NOT recommend it hahaha!
I prefered channel 1 as well! :rock:
 
Love it :thumbsup:

Are you using all Evidence Audio cables ? (Instrument AND Speaker cable) ? Power cable too ?

Thanks yes: 2 - 6 foot speaker cables and 1 -10 foot HG Lyric. Edit: not an Evidence AC cable.
 
maybe you did not get the memo. it is impossible to get that kind of gain out of a dimed plexi.lol
sounds killer.

lol exactly what I was thinking given the debate on the VH1 isolation tracks... once again, PLexi dimed + hot pickup = getting there. Throw in the EP pre and a variac, i'd say you are in flavour country. But still those in the know will swear that there was a pedal on the first album...
 
sounds great!!! I've got an Ultimate Attenuator that I use with my NMV plexi type amps - works great IMO. :thumbsup:
