Not to patronize you...but...that clip sound great. Has a new metal tone to it, yet has a vintage tone as well.

That was the whole idea. There are many high gain
amplifiers out there that are doing the same thing,
but not the vintage side mixed in.
I love this amp, I have about another 4 hrs to go
and mine is ready!

Excellent stuff, Doug. I really dig the treble response here.

Holy crap that sounded great!!!
Really dug the Jeff Beck clip, serious nut busting tone going on there.

You'll have to find the thread on HC with pics, but I think that is a 50 (or so) watt version. I only saw two EL34's. So you're buying one then, right? Hmmm, we don't have the cop with the nightstick smiley here...

Sounds good, very vintagey but not aggressive enough to be a metal amp IMO.

You know thats the thing I liked about it was that it has a modern flavor in that it does have some teeth but retains the vintage vibe. Then again I'm not a metal player but I do write some heavy stuff that isnt fast so I dont know about if its good for metal. I'll say this Mastadon is my favortite metal band right now and Brent Hinds uses a JMP with a tube screamer and gets great metal tones so I guess it's all in what you call "metal".

I've got the modern/vintage hybrid thing covered with my Wizard. Mastodon is cool, but they always have a sludgy late 70s stoner rock tone. They're playing metal with a hard rock tone which is fine, but far removed from what I consider to be a metal tone (enhanced pick transients, super tight low end, grinding non fuzzy high end, lots of saturation, etc).

Like I said when it comes to people talking about a tone is good for metal its all in what you call "metal" or IMHO better yet what genre of metal you are refering to.
