Just watched again and it still sounds just as badass as the first time.
Great playing there btw.

Sounds great IMO! Sounds very similar to my '94' Mesa Boogie Trem-o-verb with BOSS SD-1 in the front. Just a little less crunchy and more middy. Definitely love it!!

Thanks man!
It’s Def different in the room from all the rectos I’ve tried, but it’s cool it has some familiarity to you!

Little update: Had some time to play it through my FL k100/30 cab. It punishes. I love amps that I can get to sound amazing, with more than one of my cabs. This wizard does it.
This V30/k100 cab makes it much more Modern. Love it.
This avatar cab is dovetail joint, and has a couple custom features. It’s one of the tightest cabs I’ve played. It’s special and sounds amazing, compared to the dozens of other Avatar cabs I’ve tried/had.

Hey OP,
Just wanted to let you know that I'm putting the MC50 to good use:

I’m so glad we had the ampfest and it worked out that I was able to pick up the MC50.
I love that amp. It has the same features as the SS100. Tones on par with it and the SLO.
The feel/attack is more to my liking than both of those. Killer growl.
Love the Wizards!

Funny, last night I had a chance to a/b the Wizard MC50 and Naylor Duel 100. One of the few things that I noticed is how the Wizard sounded thinner compared to the Naylor. I wonder if this 50 MC has the "C" tranny?
The way I had the Naylor set up, the overall voicing of both amps was similar. That's pretty awesome, because I love the Naylor voice. Surprised the Wizard is right there. The Naylor had a bit more extended frequency range and more girth to the single notes. The Wizard was thinner in a tighter frequency range, not as singing on the single notes. That could be down to 50 vs 100 watts. There aren't a lot of amps that I've played that can do thick, tight, and singing like the Naylor. SLO comes to mind.
Another thing that became evident is how wonderfully tight and responsive the Wizard is for fast riffing. I think this may be the best amp I've ever played for thrash. Talking Megadeth Metallica style fast riffing. I was doing things on the Wizard that I couldn't pull of on the Naylor. The Naylor has a pretty tight attack, but it's warm and fuzzy compared to the razor sharp Wizard. Once I got the hang of it, I was finessing riffs in ways I haven't done since I used to use distortion pedals, ss amps and modelers. That may seem like a slam, but it's actually a compliment. I can get that kind of attack, but with the sound and response of a tube amp that hits hard. Badass.
-id take the WIZARD 50 for the win over the NAYLOR 100 every dam time.... . nothing wrong with Naylor amps... but there not in the same leaque as WIZARD's.... the dude thats trying to get an understanding of the WIZARD sound.... there are no words to describe the sound, because on top of its voicing are the other layers of feel & vodoo that very few others have... your just gonna have to play one

Having both here and abing em, as well as seeing the build quality, I can confidently say that they are on equal ground. No better, only what suits one the best. The Naylors are in the same league, no doubt.
The correct answer is to have one of each.
