I find this extremely awesome and comical all at the same time. Nice job man.
haha. I wasn't trying to be disrespectful to anyone. I just liked the clip Killertone made and discovered it sounds like my Aldrich...although I prefer the Aldrich tone a bit more.
Not disrespectful at all, it is what it is.
I just find it funny that the new Maxwatt sounds exactly like the old Cameron. Not a bad thing, just interesting to me.
Like Bill over at GAB said though, these are all similar to the old Jose amps. Would really like to hear Killertone Mic both of these and A/B
The Aldrich design is very different from the Jose mod. Aldrich doesn't use clipping and has a cathode follower gain stage (4 stages). I believe Mark came up with it in 1989 tinkering with his own amps. I do know that Norum uses one on his 1995 album. Of course this was before it was called an "Aldrich" mod.
I have no idea what's in the Maxwatt and if its an original design.
Dave, Isn't the Aldrich a non cathode follower? It's interesting the Maxwatt prompted you to plug in the Aldrich for caparison, since the Maxwatt is 4 stages, plate driven stack, and non cathode follower I think. Your clip sounded close. I listened to it when you posted.
Something in the Maxwatt that still reminded me of a Hiwatt, or Wizard in the low end that I didn't hear in the Aldrich. The Aldrich sounds a little more compressed. Do you know what tonal effects 4 stages, plate driven stack imparts on the tone? Of course all other components matter, but I am wondering what 4 stages, moreso plate driven stack, non follower, does to the tone?
