Not jamming tonight. Wife and I drove up to Nashville to see Linkin Park last night, sit in the hotel pool all day drinking today and then Broadway tonight. Listened to some good bands stopping in and out of a few places. Great to see some people playing with rack gear and real amps. But we called it an early night about 11. Good times though, so many bands rocking out classic rock and country.

How was LP
 
What I was crankin’ last night. Do the brootz? Not so much. Rawk? Yes. Sweet and fun to play? Yes. My first amp from the Doc and have a couple/few more on the wishlist. Great amps from a great guy. FX8 still delivers, too. Put a Hempback in the Mojotone cab this week. Sounding really good. Addressed the crispiness was getting from a V-Type with this head. V-Type works well with my Marshall, though. Might have to get another Mojotone cab. 😜

Holy shit that’s got to have a sweet grind
You blend as well . See I can’t just use one amp like if it’s my real tone . Or like tonight it’s Friday so I fired up my Larry PMM blended with my Hermanson Recto
Man it was heaven .

Sounds great indeed. I go back and forth as far as using two amps blended and just one amp depending on what I am playing. It is pretty addicting wall of sound for sure but sometimes a single amp works better for me. One thing I find is that with two amps is it introduces a bit more noise and also some amps sound weird together. For example If I switch to the clean channel on the JB45 it sounds really weird blending with the Plexi which ironically has loads of gain and compression when running wound up with the Powerstation. But when I use the gainier channels on the JB, it blends perfectly. If I run the plexi cleanish and use pedals for gain, it is the opposite. Same thing when I had Friedmans. Be channel on DLX and PLexi channel on JEL did not work together. Seems the tone of each amp needs to be similar in terms of compression or they dont blend well at all. The Snorkler on either channel seems to blend really well with the PLexi/powerstation. I can only imagine what the Larry/Hermansson sounds like. What do you use as as an ABY? Do you run them W/D or do use stereo fx. I go back and forth with that to, but most often Plexi dry and whatever other amp I blend in wet. I really like using the wah into one amp only to retain more thickness and chunk to the sound while still getting the wah effect. Fun stuff for sure!

You’re almost certainly running into phase issues when one particular channel doesn’t blend with the second amp. When running two amps together, adding or removing a single gain stage on one of the amps (as often occurs when switching to a cleaner or dirtier channel or mode) flips the phase 180 degrees so you need an A + B splitter device with a phase reversal feature.

They put on a great show, sounded good, lasers, smoke and catchy tunes people can sing to make for a fun high energy show. My wife really likes them and wanted to see them so we booked the trip months ago.
 
I just got a WGS G12C/S in this 2x12 paired with an EV 12L. The G12C/S is totally different than the G12C, the /S is smooth cone vs ribbed.

Was going back n forth between the Bassman and Hiwatt DR103 clone, loud and clean with pedals so I can hear how it handles clean and distortion.

I'm picking an Edwards LP unplugged on the couch tonight.

That’s always great contemplation time
‘Noodling the mania’..
That’s usually when I find a super rad chord..
I think it’s derived from searching for a lifeline in the noodling on the couch..

Thanks. I use Radial Twin City ABY and that has that feature, but I think is more just that the tones don't blend, but I will try the phase reversal switch again. Cheers
