hopkinWFG":3lf5n9ca said:Thanks !! Think mine is a 2014 version lol... mine is too aggressive on the bright lead knob.. anyway i did found the TAD 7025 WA can smoothen out a bit more of the brightness...
I understand MC2 need a certain dose of brigntness engaged but the knob hardly goes to 4 and beyond it get overly shrill on leads but playing riffs is well enough... i heard some user has gotten their bright knob to 1 oclock... i wonder how different is their MC2 compares to mine...
Sorry got carried away and am hijacking this thread...

Spaceboy":6y9wl3r1 said:I've never seen a Wizard in the real world. Always thought those were amps for the doom boys, demos online sound good, would probably need a boost though. I'm definitely in the more oldschool death metal (Schuldiner ), thrash, hardcore realm. I don't do djent and all that, but would like something modern and tight, while still in the Marshall camp. A lot of new school flavors of amps just don't have the same cut and snarl. Wizard seems to have but way over budget for me.
Thanks for all the suggestions guys, not blowing off anything yet still doing my own research too.

Wizards are hard to come by. I heard one at a local ampfest, and didn't hesitate when the opportunity to purchase came up. It has tight attack, minimal compression, sounds like a really good 2204 cranked up. Can it thrash? I made this with it, and have a hard time doing it with other amps:

Aw man, wish I hadn't seen this.

Cool tune...killer tone!
I thought it'd be fun to try, much cheaper of course, and I'm sure it will be a cool amp, but finally concluded...it won't be a Wizard.

Thanks, the tone is righteous. So easy to thrash on a Wizard.
I sold off my Marshalls, kept a Naylor thinking I'll be good.
But that Wizard thing keeps calling to me. That tight attack. And it cleans up well for lighter type stuff.
Ideally, I'd hold out until a newer MCII pops up. Financially, a new one is out of reach.
News of the Ceriatone is inviting, but I'm afraid I would come to the same conclusion.
Something special about owning a Wizard, I think.
