Members Chrisjd Posted July 5, 2008 Author Members Share Posted July 5, 2008 why you like the cobra over the dragon? after i sell my boogie i was lookin into framus. They are pretty close. I like how the cobra is awesome without a boost. Don't get me wrong, the dragon is too, I just like that super aggressive biting tone and I like to have the option of getting it without a boost. the dragon needs that boost to get the same edge.

Dragon sounding best with matching v30 cab? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Chrisjd Posted July 5, 2008 Author Members Share Posted July 5, 2008 Dragon sounding best with matching v30 cab? Probably, or just v30s in general. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members guitarman967 Posted July 5, 2008 Members Share Posted July 5, 2008 Sounds great Chris.. Makes me want to go play my cobra but it's been at the rehearsal Space for a while..Gonna take it home this week and A/B it with Dime's Meteoro.I agree with the sentiment that the Framus Cobra is the meanest amp on the planet. I can't think of any other amp that could take its title.I also can't think of too many amps that have a more crystaline clean channel. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Maleficio Posted July 6, 2008 Members Share Posted July 6, 2008 So when does the mean riffing part come in? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Mesa/Kramer Posted July 6, 2008 Members Share Posted July 6, 2008 Sounds mean. Even the more open chords you were playing had amazing clarity even with all that gain. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members ericwylde Posted July 6, 2008 Members Share Posted July 6, 2008 I also can't think of too many amps that have a more crystaline clean channel.i tried to break up the clean channel by cranking the channel's gain knob, cranking the power amp master volume (yeah, EL34's on 10!), using a cranked wylde overdrive before the input and a bare knuckle miracle man in the bridge of my les pauland the damn thing still sounded CLEANi was trying to get some subtle plexi crunch or the pushed clean mode of the rectos, but it's impossiblethat thing has the purest clean i've played Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members guitarman967 Posted July 6, 2008 Members Share Posted July 6, 2008 Thanks bud.I have the Cobra biased around 34 mA if I remember correctly. Fairly warm. Thats not overly warm bro. I believe 70% of max dissapation on these amps would be around 38-40mA. I wouldnt set them that high however. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members -todgemistro- Posted July 6, 2008 Members Share Posted July 6, 2008 Sounds great If I played more metal I'd definitley look into the Framus. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members theinTIMidator Posted July 6, 2008 Members Share Posted July 6, 2008 I liked the clip alot. Anyone have any good settings for the lead? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Chrisjd Posted July 6, 2008 Author Members Share Posted July 6, 2008 I liked the clip alot.Anyone have any good settings for the lead? For live leads I sometimes switch over to the lead channel. I use a lot of mids and presence, back off the treble a bit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's what I meant by the lead. The lead channel. I usually use the lead channel, but lately I've been wanting something a bit different sounding, so I'm going to work with the crunch a bit.

Members Hammersmashedfa Posted July 6, 2008 Members Share Posted July 6, 2008 so i'm not the only one who only likes the lead channel boosted, for riffing that is?No No sir,you certainly are not.I boost my 3rd channel.I also run the channel volume at 3oclock and the gain at about 2oclock with active EMG's.It kills anything,anywhere.
