I'm in full experiment mode at the moment.
What?Were you trying to channel some .5 Gray Chapter?
It's a Lenz Octane Circuit in a Marshall. Mesas are too fizzy, boomy and scooped for my taste. I asked him for his most brutal Metal Mod for my 2203 and he replied with a link of his Octane Amp and quote: "I can build the exact same Circuit in it with an extra tube." And i replied: "perfect".So essentially it isn't anything close to a Marshall anymore except the heads hell and faceplate?It's cool and all but why not just rock a Mesa in the first place? I thought the boosted Bogner was better for that sound.
I found it interesting how well the TC worked as a clean boost and made the sound bigger. Other than that clanky modern stuff it's normally known for.I love both the TC and TS style boosts but for different purposes.
If I need a little bit more gain and cut, the TS is the right tool - if I need to sculpt the midrange, and have plenty of gain on tap, I prefer the TC
