FIRST... teh pikz!
Ok, so I have wanted a Cherry Bomb for YEARS! I remember when Steve first started posting them back on HCAF and it just seemed "unobtanium" - fast forward a bit and I did the vids for the Bottle Rocket and got one of those amps and just LOVED it. So killer. Aggressive, meaty and chock full of tones. My GAS for the Cherry Bomb never waned though.
It so happened that a cat on another forum was interested in the Bottle Rocket. I shot Steve a note and he let me know that he had the V2 listed here that he was doing a great deal on. Low and behold, my bud Mike has a Bottle Rocket inbound and this guy showed up today. This is also loaded with NOS Tesla EL34's. Can't wait to get it home and fire it up!
Lot's of vids to follow for sure.
I have to say, and I noticed this with the Bottle Rocket as soon as I received it... the amps are RIDICULOUSLY built. This has got to be the heaviest damn amp I have ever picked up! LOL! Like... I would not want to have to put it on top of 2 4x12's heavy. EVERYTHING feels solid.
For clarification, the V2 has Increased gain and treble response in the ROD channel which makes it more like the Bottle Rocket while still having the Plex Channel.
Clip Added:
Quick vid with a few different cabs in the Two Notes Torpedo Studio. No real post production. A little verb from the Two Notes. Also did not adjust the EQ per cab change, just left as it was.
• Fried 25 (Friedman Greenback cab)
• Revv Closed 412 (ET65's)
• Hop Pole "Big Beast" (Zilla 412 w/V30's)
Balaguer Archetype. Still need to learn this amp. Similar to the BR but for sure different. REALLY dig it though and glad to have nabbed this!
