Yoeri
the cool cat right?
Not the chicken salad

(what an odd question-)

Yes, the Cool Cat version. It has a mix control , which is weird but that's what makes it work as well as it does imho. You can dial in more depth and keep the mix at about 2:00 and this is the result.

Hi Kage !
Hi Ralph !

 

[The Hoff]

Seems like a good time, thanks for posting the videos

 

[tokyo tapes]

Very cool gents!!! Yoeri, considering the very good sounding clips you have of your Plexi 50, what amp of all you tried at the ampfest do you think gets closest to that sound/ vibe?

 

[gibson5413]

Sounds great Yoeri!

 

[lolzgreg]

The Bogner 100b in plexi mode gets close but the Bigtone Razor gets closest. The Bogner plexi still has that Bogner-tonal-sauce on it which is great but not nailing it. Bigtone also has a Studioplex amp, 50watter and that nails the plexi tone, the Razor has more gain and comes close to a plexi at full tilt.

Another thing I discovered, I like my plexi with all my cabs but not with the Bogner with V30s. I love playing it thru 1 Bogner Cube (also V30s) but the 4x12 was to much high mids and top end for my liking.

It's all Zoom Q3 in lo mic position and the amps being played LOUD. I just cut n paste the clips in some video tool and that's it. The carpet on the floor and 1 wall made a huge difference for the sound, I glad I decided to do that last minute, 50euro well spend I'd say

i don't know if it's been mentioned what amp impressed the most? or surprised the most?

The Cornford sounded super nice and b/c I've never heard of this Bigtone amp I was happy (and surprised) to see that we now have a european builder, who also offers this "typical-rig-talk-favourite-Super-Gained-Marshall flavor" in an amp for a reasonable price built here.

I think everybody was impressed with Olaf's amps and the Bigtone. But, there really wasn't a bad amp, Hunter's Cornford and Bogner sounded killer as did the SLOs, the Elmwood, the Marshalls etc...

Thanks Yoeri! How about the Krampe compared to your Plexi?

Hi guys! didn't know this post was talking about Bigtone! I'm the owner-designer-manufacturer, so I'm happy to read such nice comments, specially if they come from somebody like Olaf who knows about amp making for sure!

The Krampe amps are different, they can do a really nice low gain crunch but they aren't as dynamic as a real plexi. However, they have a great response, good dynamics for being high gain amps. They are really cool for sure!

Seriously disappointed...

I was expecting (OK, fantasizing...) that the girl in Riff's avatar would be walking around like a round girl with signs showing what channel and settings were being used on each amp.

The amps sounded good, though

Is that Padma from Top Chef? Mmmm, not sure if Padma's boobs are that big but of course anything on the net can be fake.

I believe that is Tera Patrick...Porn Star and toy for the Bass player from Biohazard.
