Wizard MC II video/mic'd clip for fun, check it out if you wish

[Crash-VR]

As a gigging musician I need the loop. I don’t have time to mess with WDW at a gig. Especially with a multiple band lineup. I do like that you can completely remove the loop on the Wizards. Not to mention the effect on resale value. I probably wouldn’t care so much if I didn’t love delay for leads so much.

That sounded awesome!

Thanks to all for listening and commenting! Great to hear my ears appreciate similar sounding crunchy goodness as yours! I was "this" close to not even keeping that recorded audio, kept changing mic positions 6 times before almost giving up lol Glad I kept it and shared!

Just recently picked up a second Duncan 805 and tried double boosting the MCII...WOW have I been missing out. Just takes it to a super saturated level with some nice compression while maintaining all the dynamics and articulation I love about this amp. Thrash fucking heaven with amazing give under the fingers. It of course leans it out even more than just a single boost, but the extra aggression, attack, and saturation offset the leaned out low end...or I just turn on the ISP powered sub and it's thicker, tighter, more saturated, more aggressive than I ever knew an MCII could be.

Sounds crazy lol, I only have a OCD v2 like in my vid here obviously, that I use volume at 50 to 65% and zero drive, tone knob at 2 o'clock-ish. Never tried other overdrive / boosts to see how it sounds. I am considering getting a spring reverb pedal and experimenting with maybe a Friedman Pearl overdrive OR that Wizard leopard boost flavor. Not sure, there are so many options it is impossible to decide.

I'm not much of a pedal guy but my recently acquired MCii seems to love the EQD Plumes. Nice push and saturation without changing the character much.

One last bump for any stragglers.

Ugh. Wizard GAS is rough

Thought you were sitting on an MTL?

Nah, flipped it quick-like when a motorcycle I wanted came up.
The only amp I have that can do distortion is a Mesa .50 Caliber +.

This is a 100 watt MC II made in 2016.
