Members defeverything Posted April 16, 2003 Members Share Posted April 16, 2003 anyone played or heard one of these? i have a chance to get one and i cant find anyone tahts heard of one. The celler said it sounds simmilar to a CAE and it was made in the 90's. It has three channels,each with its own gain, level, bass, mid, and trible, as well as a boost switch. It also has an effects loop and 3 12ax7 tubes. If anyone has heard of it let me know. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members SpeedMetal2000 Posted April 17, 2003 Members Share Posted April 17, 2003 Sounds "Similar" to a CAE 3+....? Thats a pretty BOLD statement-and unless you've heard,Owned and played thru a CAE/Bradshaw 3+ or 3+SE Preamp it's not accurate.in my opinion(I OWN the 3+ and 3+SE CAE Preamps);Nothing comes close to Bobs Custom Audio Electronics 3+/3+SE Preamp.

Members defeverything Posted April 17, 2003 Author Members Share Posted April 17, 2003 have you played a radko? he did not say it sounded exactly like one. he said if he had to compare it to something that is what he would compare it to. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members SpeedMetal2000 Posted April 17, 2003 Members Share Posted April 17, 2003 Yes...I've heard a few Dudes play thru the Radko and it's not similar nor even close to the tones that the Bradshaw/Custom Audio Electronics 3+/3+SE Preamp produces. VAST difference between the Radko and the CAE/Bradshaw. Vince. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members defeverything Posted April 17, 2003 Author Members Share Posted April 17, 2003 does it sound bad though? im not looking for something that sounds like a CAE im just looking for something that sounds good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members OverDriven Posted April 17, 2003 Members Share Posted April 17, 2003 If you want CAE versatility and some killer tones at a lower price, look for a used Egnater IE4. -Joe Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members defeverything Posted April 19, 2003 Author Members Share Posted April 19, 2003 im just wondering how the radko sounds. if they guy made a bad comparison, its not his fault he could hear things differently, ive never heard a CAE nor do i know much about them. Im just looking for something that sounds good, right now i have a voodoo lab preamp and im not a huge fan of the way it sounds. I like the clean alot, although i wish it were a bit louder, but i dont like the crunch and lead channels much. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members sbs Posted March 20, 2009 Members Share Posted March 20, 2009 I used to have a Radko Cruncher 3+3 preamp, I loved it, bought it used from a store in San Diego. Had a power cord that looked like it came off a Kirby vacuum cleaner. I really liked it but I was in school at the time and had to part with it, I wish I didnt. If any of you are willing to part with yours let me know. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
