Members phaeton Posted August 24, 2005 Members Posted August 24, 2005 By "near me" i mean either "Lake Geneva, Wisconsin, USA" or "Madison, Wisconsin, USA". I'm in both places frequently. Why do I ask? I have a Reverend Goblin 5/15 combo amp and while i completely adore its clean sounds, I cannot get it to match the clips I've heard of the distorted sounds, either from the Reverend site (Actually a Kingsnake, but Naylor swears they'll sound identical) or mp3s of other MP members who own one. I can't tell if my guitars just aren't up to snuff or if maybe something's up with my particular amp. I hear clips of all these magnificent saturated-gain sounds, but mine just doesn't seem to be able to produce anywhere near that amount of distortion. What I'm proposing is meeting someone somewhere for a couple of hours, maybe less. Essentially I'd want to A/B them with the same guitar(s) and same settings and see if they sound about the same. I'll bring beer and/or buy lunch. Let me know what you like. I realize the Goblin is not a high-gain device like you'd expect out of a Peavey XXX, but All I can get is a slight rattle out of it. I have a few clips myself here but they actually sound more distorted in the recording than they did to my ears at the time. All recordings were done with the gain maxed out on the goblin (schizo on UK), and i'm playing an Ibanez RG 470DX with high-output humbuckers. Said Ibanez will distort most anything i plug it into if I'm not careful. PM me if you have one and would be interested.
