We actually used two cabs in order to handle Mike Volumes lol!! I believe one was a cab loaded with 65's and the other must have been the standard 75 watters. The great thing to take into consideration is that his amps killed even through beat up studio cabsthegame":22rdudvu said:What cabs/speakers were you guys ripping through ?
Sounds like a great time was had by all. Yeah, Mike likes it loud; this I have found out for myself
The more I hear about these amps the more I'm interested. Damn, I was hoping everyone was going to say they blew.Digital Jams":1ndknfzp said:Mike's work is very very goodThe Bones and Meathead have stupid quick tracking, no matter how fast you drill, plam mute, downstroke riffing..............the amps are as tight as a drum. Very articulate no matter what type of chords you throw at them. I wish I had brought my Schector down as I have that tuned to an open C and would have loved to rip Devy's Deadhead through either one. The amps just do not fall apart period.
We had planned on doing that but the person who had the camera couldn't make it. Carl Roa showed up and took some pics and video and there should be some video that he shot floating around. The sad thing is that in typical fashion, the best playing of dave and I wasn't captured. I should have learned by now to bring a freaking recorderyngzaklynch":3u3k4pmw said:

Sup Brother!! Yeah, we had the volume up pretty high lol
Definitely louder then any of my gig volumes
With that said, Mike had them at Ralph Volume before you were there and they all sounded fantastic. All of Mikes amps have great master volumes and they can sound great at any volume. Both carl Roa and I aren't loud volume players, so I think its safe to say that Mikes amps sound great Low or high!!
It was great hanging with you! When I get my Modded amp back from Mike, we will have to have another get together in your neck of the woods. I know the trip out had to be brutal!!!
By the way, I was tryong to find a way to steal your cab
I played a little bit at TV volumes, but I need more
The more I think about it, the more I like the bones. The Meathead is great for someone who needs more versatility, but for me, I only want the gain channels….and I know I mentioned it already, but I REALLY like being able to change to any type of tube…even mixing tube types like 6550's and EL34's etc.
I wonder if Mike could mod a Marshall into his "bones" amp. Like you said there, I have the Cali mod already covered. I like the Hulk too. Too many choices.
I wish i could've been there to join in... Ohh the joy of living the other side of the pond 
Carl's drummer Dave took some video so that will show up on Carl's youtube page shortly. We just had so much fun plugging in and playing...loud Got to hear Dave's Cams and they sounded great. Lots of great players. Too bad it was only 5 hours because it went by like a flash. Next time we'll have to one longer so everyone will get plenty of face time with all the amps. I didn't even get a chance to play anything I'm getting back to Canada Thursday late and I don't have much of a chance to access the net, so I'll catch up with everyone when I get back. Thanks again to everyone for making the long trip
I'd love to come on up and see how my Randall MTS Mods stack up to the real deals. I know I like my Recto mod more than i did my Roadster, but it would be cool to hear side by side. Dave also did an SLO mod for me, so I'm curious since its been a while since I had my Avenger, and HR.AmpliFIRE":2sxltt3x said:Sounds like a great time guys....wish I could have been there with my Recto and Avenger

I had a great time and was wonderful to meet everyone
Cheers,

I spoke with MIke alot about loops and the theory about the lack of loop being present = better tone and his loop is very good after a/bing several times at good volumes. 
would have been great to have you there!stephen sawall":3cu0fynt said:
