cool you got it great. If you want to know what it sounds like listen to A Perfect Circle the first and second record are all that.
So it sounds like a Naylor amp? :confused:

Not quite..... It's more open and aggressive sounding than a Naylor.
Just curious because it's been said in interviews that APC used guitar -> cord -> Naylor amp for the first album (Mer de Noms). Not sure about the second record.

Nah, it was the Naked Amp.

UM how about a Marsha preamp?

I was thinking about asking you about something like that. Being that I have a number of power amps I like .... and a lot of the tone shaping and gain is in the preamp. Could you do something that was switchable to a number of voices from your Marsha and Naked ? How different are the power amps in the Marsha and Naked ?

The idea of having a preamp that I could put in my rack with my GCX very much appeals to me.

Thanks Dave ..... as you know you are very well liked and respected person around here.
 
yup the Marsha preamp w/ that new Bogner power amp that has 2 XTC power sections in is gonna be the shitz :rock:

we are shooting the naked video today should be ready sometime next week :thumbsup:

Ok, so the Marsha is about that much fully loaded with all the mods/switches, right?
 
Well the Naked's sound is in the power section. As far as the Marsha preamp goes it will be 3 channels it might have 3 separate channels or the dirties will share a eq. Not really sure yet. It really depends if I make it point to point or not. Dave

I can see a pro rig with a Marsha, Naked and preamp in the future.

Are the preamps in the Marsha and Naked somewhat similar ? Is the main difference in the power amps the resonance / depth in the negative feedback ? Or is it something else ?

Sorry about all the Q. I was pretty set on a Marsha .... with the preamp and Naked I am not as sure ...... thanks for your time.

just for info guys, I have a brand new NAKED at Tone Merchants. The Naked is the second amp along with the Marsha that Tone Merchants/Racksystems are releasing. Ive been bugging Dave about this amp for over a year. The one at the shop is mine and is gonna be the foundation of a rig Dave is gonna build for me soon. If u want just massive, thick overdriven tone, then this the amp to do it. Ive never heard anything like it. I crank the bass and mids, put the treb and pres on 5 and I chunk away all day. The amp excells at lowered tunings. Like dave said, the tones on A Perfect Circle albums are really representative. A demo video is coming, ive been just waiting for the NAKED logos to arrive. Video will be out sometime next week :rock:
Can't wait much longer!!!! Must...see...new video!!! ;)
 
been running the naked with a bogner 101b in parallel and A/Bing them the last couple weeks. It really is a smooth amp. Even though it doesn't have all the same bells and whistles and isn't as high gain and the bogner I think I am liking the naked more. Very very easy to dial in and get something good out of it......
 
I recently tried my buddy's Naked amp. He has one and also a Bogner 101b. He is the biggest Billy Howerdell fan as am I so I know that played into him buying one. I think it sounds and plays great but I didn't find it as versatile as I would need. I think his 101b covers some of the same ground and is more versatile cause it carries much more. I actually like Splawn amps better than the Naked. I do like the Marshal however. But, to much money for me to be spending on an amp to only play at home, jam with friends and the rare gig. LOL amps priced this high, I leave to the pros. For the same reason, I stopped buying Bogners and anything else in that range. LOL
