Nuno Bettencourt's tone on the Extreme III Sides To Every Story album... or Blues Saraceno's tone on Never Look Back album... or more of a "kaw kaw" sound? Is the tone I'm hearing comparable to a Soldano-esque tone?
I finally got a chance to play the MOD50 last night and spent some time tweaking in the EG5 module. This thing is straight out of the 80's mainstream rock! Not necessarily "hair band" rock per se but more like the comparisons I gave above. Anyway, I absolutely love this amp and the EG5 is absolutely brutal. I honestly can't see myself ever turning the gain up past 1 o'clock let alone putting a boost pedal in line. This thing has buckets of gain on tap!
However, I'm not 100% sure that the EG5 is for me. I've read some posts were people were saying that the EG5 can be made into more of an MHG by backing off on the mids and treble and I concur. But I'm not sure if this is the tone I'm looking for. You may have heard me mention a while back that I'm into more of a Boogie tone, and although I don't expect to nail the Boogie tone without actually buying a Boogie, I'd really like to come close. Because I could never give up the versatility of this amp. Switching to the BMAN is almost like switching to a totally separate amp. This is like Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde in a box.
So, in the opinion of the users of the Egnater forum, should I try the Erect or a different module? As I stated above, the EG5 has more gain than anyone would ever need so I have no doubt that the Erect would have enough. What would you suggest? I guess I don't have as a seasoned ear as some of you and sometimes clips of these modules all sound the same. I really wish I had a bunch of modules to compare.
