Members smith10210 Posted July 22, 2008 Members Share Posted July 22, 2008 If i was in a band i would own another i love the tone. I traded my Dorado for one knowing that it wasn't going to work for my living conditions needless to say i couldn't get the volume to sound good. I wish they sounded good at lower volumes like Engls.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Unstrung Posted July 22, 2008 Members Share Posted July 22, 2008 I played a Cobra yesterday through its matching cab. It has a very good sounding low end. It is also very presency, but not really high presence, it was a less grating sort, a lower frequency than usual? Well I wasn't digging the voicing of the midrange, it was very low. All in all not the amp for me... I'd probably prefer the Dragon... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members ericwylde Posted July 22, 2008 Members Share Posted July 22, 2008 Just curious though... can the Dragon do some of that proper in your face cutting Marshall style crunch? face cutting, definitely yes... but marshall style crunch? I don't think sosome claim that it can, but my modded dragon lead channel sounds as hard as the stock cobratoo punchy for marshall tones I'm still studying the possibility of developing some kind of mod for thatit probably would need some mods or switching in the gain stages and tonestack to smooth and thin things a bitwould probably be easier to do some kind of soldano mod, cause these amps are 95% soldano based Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members SnaxSlingerAns Posted July 22, 2008 Members Share Posted July 22, 2008 Everyone I've heard playing through a Cobra had awful tone, like they were playing through a thin SS amp and a bad stompbox. I've steered clear.Yeah, definitely steer clear of this thin tone. :poke: http://soundclick.com/share?songid=6234105http://www.soundclick.com/bands/defa...?bandID=796480-Ans- Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Weathered Posted July 22, 2008 Members Share Posted July 22, 2008 pity me, my Budda SD 80 is doing fineI'd love to hear a volume battle between the Cobra and a SD80. Buddas are some of the loudest amps I've ever heard.Hell, toss a Rocca Custom 80 in the mix as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have a feeling the Rocca volume wise would bury most amps in the same class, an HG100 is the loudest thing I have played in the 100 watt fight club Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Steveanders86 Posted July 22, 2008 Members Share Posted July 22, 2008 Just curious though... can the Dragon do some of that proper in your face cutting Marshall style crunch? It can to an extent. theres nothing thats going to sound just like a marshall except a marshall. but i would classify the dragon as a type of marshallish kind of sound IMO Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Steveanders86 Posted July 22, 2008 Members Share Posted July 22, 2008 I dunno....Roccas are silly loud. i dunno, the mark series amps are friggin friggin FRIGGIN loud! my splawn was hands down louder than my dragon/cobra, and the mark IV was far louder than the splawn. :poke: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
