I have a budding interest in single channels that can cover everything from spanky cleans, to indie rock, to modern metal... and the Fryette Deliverance seems like it could do that. I can't find many clips doing light to medium gain, mostly crystal clean or way too much gain, nothing between. So... tell me about the Deliverance, what amps it compares to, what speakers it works best with, does it need a boost, 120 vs 60, general complaints/prasies... etc.
 
definitely doesn't need a boost. It's a great amp! Sounds good with a boost too, but I preferred without. Sounded wider to me. The only complains I have is lack of loop.
 
I played a D60 with a FatBottom 2x12.

Awesome
LOUD
Modern at lower volumes, becomes more "Marshall-y" as you crank it.
Cleans up nicely with volume rolled down... No issues with it being single-channel.

Only downside is no loop, which only matters if you use FX.

Are they bright amps, and do they record well or better in the room than in front of a mic?
 
They are dry. Dry dry dry. But pretty awesome. I enjoy them. They do it all! I like the D120 vs the D60. D120 sounds more open to me. I like a VERY LIGHT boost on them. As for speakers I think they sound best with the P50E's. I don't like it with any celestions. They seem to have better response with Eminence speakers and cabs rated at 16ohms.

Not true.

The Pitbull series i would agree with this statement, but the deleiverence not so much.
 
I use a D120 .... it can do anything between clean & heavy for any style music. Really reacts to your hands....

I think the pitbulls are even dryer (which is hard to do) But that's not a bad thing if that's what you like. Put it up against just about any high gainer (besides marshalls or soldanos) and you will hear how dry they are.

Biggest sounding amp there is...

It's deff up there thats for sure. DESTROYS mesa's and the likes. But I think my Diezel Herbert is bigger then my friends D120... I also think the Engl SE you have is bigger then the D series.
 
Will the dryness put off someone from a 5150/Rectifier background? Will is clean up considerably even on higher gain settings with use of the guitar's volume knob?
 
It cleans up great, no worries about that. It's huge sounding, but it'll cut in the mix better than a recto and the Herbert especially.

I don't think any of those amps have reverb or built in fx...they are all dry.
 
The D60 has been my main amp for like 5 years now. It's a crazy versatile amp that shines in a band mix. The dynamic, uncompressed feel of the amp might take some getting used to if you are coming from something like a 5150/recto/engl, but it is rewarding in the long run.

I use strictly Eminence these days and it sounds great through Pitbull P50E's, Legend V128's, and the custom OEM Emi's in my electro-harmonix 4x12. I also used to own a carvin legacy 4x12 loaded with V30's and the D60 sounded great with
Those too.

I actually had an unbuffered loop installed in mine so i can use a verb or delay in there if i want. The amp takes pedals like a champ though. I get 'my' metal tone by boosting the front end of the amp set to 'less' mode.

Yes .... much better than most highgain amps.

I couldn't really get along with the D120 I had. My favorite amp is a Triple recto and I had 5150's for years. I prefer that more saturated gain. The D120 always sounded like it was missing something.

I will say it was HUGE sounding though. Easily had the same low end as the Triple Recto. I did hate how it went from whisper quiet to TOO DAMN LOUD! You could not play that amp at pleasant home volumes unlike the Triple Recto.

did with me,not sure about it cleaning up. i cant stand the "dry" sounding saturation, ala-VHT. i much prefer the "wet" and "hairy" mesa sound. I'm not a good enough player to use vht's.
 
Just use a boost/less mode and find the perfect medium between dryness/great touch sensitivity and saturated/fluid gain
 
dry tone sounding not effect wise..... and if you cant get a herbert to cut through you dont know how to eq a band.
