Video sounded great :thumbsup:

The CA is one of those amps I've never really considered, but actually sounds like it would fit me....odd :lol: :LOL: I'll have to try one, somehow. :D
 
if you ever get your hands on one, it takes a little getting used to at first. here's how i approach it.

starting with controls at noon, except master volumes if you need to be quieter.

i wouldn't go much past noon on the trebles or master presence control, because it tends to get harsh when overdone.

i set my master gain, which affects both channels, so that i can get very clean on the clean channel, and then i dial the bass controls on both channels to control warmth without too much boominess. my bogner cab had way more low end than my friend's ev 4x12 and the bass control was the key to making it work for both cabs.

then i start balancing the midrange knob against treble and bass. i turn the mid to 1-2 oclock on the clean channel to recreate a fat fendery clean. i love dropping a compressor in front of that channel for extra pop, smoothness, and carry on single notes.

the mid knob on the lead channel is very powerful and musical. test it by sweeping it off at first and then slowly rolling up to noon in small steps to hear what it does. fat, chirpy, singing...it's all in that bad boy! most other amps have mid controls that seem harmonically empty by comparison.


after playing the ds-100 i'm looking at what i can sell to get into another carol ann......shocked at how much i miss that tone!

no doubt
you have to watch it in 720p full screen

i cannot begin to fathom what mangoes it would take to want to drop in to one of those.

i felt pretty good about this one; i was the oldest guy in the water, was only one of two guys willing to sit at the outside peak, and i had to really dig hard just to airdrop into this set wave on a sponge at sandy's in 2010:

i got blasted, held down pretty long, and lost a fin...and sandy's is like a bathtub compared to tahiti!
 
and this was taking off at the wedge in 09:

not sure which was bigger but the sandy's wave was way gnarlier a thrashing!
 
Awesome pics :rock:
We have beach here, but NO waves unless a hurricane hits :lol: :LOL:
 
Watched the first vid. Pretty cool.

Then started watching the second and was sent back to 91.

Eric ON FIRE.

He was just as impressive as Vai and Satch or (insert yer fav here:____)

Awesome!
 
Edit to say, I know the intent was tone. But I got distracted.
