VHT/Fryette Deliverance amp demo

I like the Deliverance, but those tones are way too bright for my tastes and I tend to prefer bright amps. Anytime I hear them compared to Wizards it's in this context of ultra bright settings and it always turns me off from wanting to spend crazy amounts on a Wizard. Glad it works for you, though :rock:

All personal preference! In the room something like this would sound like this. This is my wizard MC boosted.



Putting a mic right up to a speaker changes things. It’s like putting your head at ear level to the dust cap lol. Style of music makes a huge difference too for the tones I dial. I play death metal as a main genre. Cutting through those drums and bass if you run your treble low with an already scooped tone and have no bite to your tone no one will hear you. Plus I’m really not a fan of boosting frequencies after the fact in a mix on guitars. They get real weird real fast. If I need to do anything I prefer it to be cutting.



This is my band here, tone here is pretty dang bright with some very small cuts made at the end.

These tones sound great. If it sounds like that in the room, you're micing way too close to the dust cap. Pull it back a bit and you'll get a lot more body.

That was recorded, mixed by me, reamped, everything… and it was probably 60/40 dust cap. Right against the grill. Really bright, chunky, and scooped on its own, but in a mix it cuts with minimal eq moves. I think I only high passed and low passed if I remember correctly actually…

Big bodied guitar sounds in the room and on their own sound very cool, but in a mix unless you eq it to death, which is going to introduce a whole other array of problems, just won't cut through. At least in this type of music.

IMO that’s why so many IRs out there suck major ass. Because you have to take out like 10dbs of 250 for your mix to not sound like it has a blanket over it.

I actually bought Bob's D60 & D412 couple years back. Drove to CA to visit a friend and picked it up while on the road trip. Sold the head recently and still have the cab.

That opening scream was about what I sounded like this morning...fucking hemorrhoids.
 
I really like the older D120 with the choke vs the newer II as I feel like they don’t get as saturated and didn’t sound as good or have the feel as the older ones. Not my favorite amps but very cool single channel amp.
 
Deliverance 60 is my favorite amp ever (used one as my main rig for well over a decade) but that clip in the OP isn't doing it for me personally

Not really, but that was funny of you to say..:ROFLMAO:

That’s my subjective, honest opinion. I like the midrange and harmonics in the Deliverance series more than what Wizards have going on. What I find funny is all the Wizard worship on this forum. More expensive = better right?
 
It's telling that everytime a Fryette thread starts, the Wizard Nut Swingers rope in..

For me it’s not that it’s expensive at all . It’s about how big it sounds and fills the room up with a full spectrum of frequencies. Its thump is great . I swear my friends girl friend getting of to the thump of the MTL2. The only amp I like is much is the Hermanson. There’s definitely something special with ricks work .
