Tell me all about the Wizard Metal

[cardinal]

Hi all,

Considering buying a 1990s Wizard Metal, but don't see how I'd have the opportunity to play one in advance of buying. Ideally I'm looking for something thats uncompressed but still fat sounding that maybe can take overdrive pedals to pushing it into something more compressed when I'm in the mood.

The one on the classifieds from "immersed" comes highly recommended and at a pretty good price. He has a clip or two and you can check with "psychodave" as he has played this particular amp. One thing about any Wizard amp, is they run full tilt with very little compression whatsoever.

Thanks Steve. That's the one that's got me thinking.

I don't know about a "modded" one but that's exactly how a stock one rolls.

So, did you buy it?

Hi,
I have the '93 Wizard Metal that was owned by and played in Todd Duane's old YT vids. If you're in the Chicago area, you can certainly come check it out. Lemme know. It's an amazing amplifier.

Yes. Not entirely new, though. We added a decent amount of material to the show back in Feb '11, but some of the same signature pieces that have been in the show for years are still in there. The new technology we've added to the show is really amazing, though. The show definitely has way more eye candy now. Did some good work to the PA as well. The show now sounds way better than it ever has.

unfortunately no. Bought a computer instead (axe fx II) because I need to be more practical with respect to volume since we're expecting our first baby soon. Not a bad trade (tubes for baby).

Sadly, I do not. I have an MC100 and an MC50, both with a few mods from Rick that pretty much made all of my other heads obsolete. I sold off everything else I had except my plexi. The Wizards do everything I need and then some. All of my other heads were collecting dust. My plexi had been my main amp for over 10 years and I haven't even played that in about six months. I can't bring myself to sell it, though. I LOVE both of my Wizards. For what I do, they are the best amps I have ever owned.
