Hi all,
I already own a Diezel VH4. Love it, will never sell it. It might be my favorite amp of all time. I fell in love with the JJ100 a while back and have been looking to pick one up. I am close to jumping on one but just discovered the Wizard MCII and now I feel like my decision has become much more difficult.
I like the big, saturated, harmonically rich, thick, feeling of the JJ100, but that tight, percussive, huge sound of the Wizard made me turn my head fast. I probably "need" both, but right now that's not an option. I keep going back and forth. I do probably something like 30-35% with the clean channel with effects and 70-65% with high gain (and some light gain). I don't really shred, I play singing lead lines to compliment my rhythm guitar player and want chords to sound big when I play with him.
Can someone help give me insight who has played or owned both? Give me insight on tone, etc? Will I be repeating myself if I own a VH4 and buy a MCII or will it be different enough? Will the JJ-100 be too thin? (I've heard clips and it seems like it can be thin or fizzy at times).
I play ethereal/ambient metal/rock style similar to Tool, A Perfect Circle, Tesseract, Breaking Benjamin, RED, Circa Survive, etc. I use Gibson Les Pauls loaded with BKP Riff Raffs (Alnico 5) with an Axe-Fx III for effects. Looking for another amp to compliment my sound to double track, play live, chug, play big chords, and enjoy the hell out of.
Thanks for any insight and help you can give me!
