Finally took the plunge - Wizard HR

[peterc52]

Thought about this amp for a couple of years. Couldn’t resist anymore.

100 EL34 model incoming. Shipping to Denmark on Monday!

I’m very excited.

Vader edition, small logo and silver knobs

Congrats man! I´ve been thinking about them for years too but they´re so rare in Europe... And I´m too scared to blind buy at those prices

Exactly. You can’t buy them second hand over here. So this was the only way

I sure hope you´ll love it, but may I ask what´s your plan in case you don´t? Selling it and although it´s going to be a loss, at least you´ll finally know what it´s like? Guess it´ll be around 6.700€ landed, so maybe you could sell it for 5k? No idea what the European used market for those are as I have never seen one.

There’s no plan b I’ve had MC, MCii, MC25, MTL and MTL MKII. I’m sure I’ll love it love a lot of clips with it!

Curious to hear what you think of this compared to others.

I like high gain super saturated usually, I've never played a Wizard and would be stumped deciding which one to get but I think the MCii would suit me best.

When will it pop up on Kleinanzeigen?

 

[Simon Dorn]

Diode Clipper? Always on?

 

[peterc52]

It’s fking awesome.

Don’t know about diodes yet. But it is more align the MCII which I always loved too. More to my taste than the MTL fo sure.



I couldn’t find a fitting place for the peavey butcher. So it’s used for holding my PA mixer

Nice. What was it you didn’t like about the MTL?

Congrats! I'm also interested to know what you think of the HR compared to the others you had. I recently played an MTL II and a HR on an amp/cab switcher. So I could switch back and forth in real time and honestly... I didn't hear much of a difference between the two lol. It was like flipping a bright switch on an amp. Maybe a tiny difference but it still sounded like the same amp.

That’s crazy to me. The MTL II has more gain and saturation. The mids sit lower (6L6 in mine), and the low end has some sub bass going on like a VH4.
