Larry Dino Amp Demo

[Brandonrz]

All right guys, here is my Larry Dino.



Tried to do a full mix, some iso stereo guitars, then just noodling around. Guitars are sm57 into my interface. If you’d like the non YouTube version (loud version) of the song (portion of a song) I can post that here, as I mastered two versions since they limit the audio.

The amp is incredible. So much gain, but clear and tight.

As said in the video this started its life as a jtm in the late 60s early 70. It was rebuilt by Larry in the 90s. It has the old Marshall transformers from that era that are incredible.

I saw it on reverb, snagged it, sent it straight to Larry, and Larry updated it to the latest specs he could (as the Dino has changed over time, and not able to do the latest revision on this). Larry did a great job cleaning everything up and getting this to sounding up to its full potential!

As usual, best listening will be in a car stereo or on monitors.

Cheers.

Sounds killer mate

Although you could plug into any high end amp and get a great tone with your chops

Because Reza don’t say it, doesn’t mean he ain’t thinking it

Sounds killer dude. Love to see a rare amp like that being used to potential. I wish I could play like that.

That’s a really cool Larry. Unique.

I think we’ve collectively done more Larry demos on RT in the past year than anyone has done in the past 20 years.

It’s a killer! I’ve watched your shoot out plenty of times!

Killer amp and great playing! So smooth on the top end; takes all the fizz out and gives such a clear, fat tone.

Can someone settle this whole "Dee no" "Die no" debacle?

 

[hellzington]

I think it's "dee-no" but I prefer "die-no." Makes me think of T-Rex's and also not dying. Win-win.

Have heard the "I" is silent.

Came for the amp stayed for the playing. Love the drum overdub. Killer chops man.

It’s Dino like a Dinosaur. Larry explained it in a post a while back. The amp is a big monster like a “Dinosaur.” That was the reasoning.

All that being said, I still say Deeeeeeno.

 

[Erock]

sounds killer man, great playing too!

Really cool to hear so many recent Larry demos, completely agree @RedPlated

 

[skoora]

I always thought of it as a Ferrari thing or Italian….so in my head it’s Deeno

To be fair, I don’t disagree. Cool sounding amps. No way I’d put up that much money and wait that long. If I was a millionaire, sure. But in the real world. No way.
