Mesa Electra Dyne combo with a Wolfgang guitar = more gain

[Meathead]

That lead sounds awesome. Love the Randy tribute!

RANDY RHOADS!!

I like the lead tones. The Rhythm is a little woofy to me. Sounds good overall though.

I like the lead tone to...fun to play, it sings nicely.
I could see using a pedal, not really for adding much more gain, but for adding a little more stringyness and removing a bit of lows. For a 1x12 combo this thing rumbles, lots of bass.

Sounds great Adam. Yeah, that thing's got a lot of bass, I usually run mine low so the woofyness goes away.

That's a pretty nice sounding amp. That lead tone is pretty damn sweet.

 

[AmpliFIRE]

Nice!

 

[gbsmusic]

yes, I've brought the ass down since. I've found a setting that is working pretty well for me right now with the Wolfgang...I took a picture so I won't mess it up.

Thanks! The lead tones are pretty nice in this amp for sure.

Nice!

If I were a chic I wouldn't be that kind of girl you masher!

I think Chub is sick of thinking about orange...he has to look at it everyday in his house.

Looks almost identical to my settings except the volume which is closer to 3-4 o'clock in my case
BTW, I broke down and got an OCD pedal yesterday. I tried it with the Mark IV channel two and it makes that channel usable again.

My ED is still not back from repair but I look forward to trying it.

Edit: I tried the pedal with a Suhr S5 with a Elmwood 60 head and bottom.
So I tried a $160.00 pedal with $7000.00 worth of gear! Oh the humanity !

Cool!
Hey Phil, let me know how the OCD works out with the Elecrta Dyne when you get a chance.
I'm fine with rhythm gain, but I'd like to try a pedal to hit the vintage high setting for some really sustaining solos.

I tried the BB Preamp with the Electra Dyne and it really gave it a nice shot in the arm. But i think the OCD would be a better pedal with this amp.

How do you guys like the looks of the tan combo?

Picked up an OCD today, try it out tomorrow.

The tan looks like it's trying to be a boutique amp...it looks OK

I prefer the black..looks more classic...

Yeah, I prefer the black as well. Good deal on the OCD. I also tried the Xotic EP Booster and it also gave excellent results.

It seemed to be a bit more scooped as you increased the boost, while the OCD had very strong mids. RE-Equing the amp and the OCD pedal made them very similar in tone.

I dig the OCD Phil, love how it reacts to rolling off the guitar's volume to.

Did another quick clip, just quickly going through the amp's gain modes with an OCD pedal on at times...

Both sound great Adam!
I was soloing over the clean one.. .LOL!

That's much more up my alley. Seems like the pedal tightens up a bit. I really like the tones you're getting there. The OCD sounds like a great match with that amp.
