Members Chrisjd Posted January 30, 2008 Author Members Share Posted January 30, 2008 you gotten a chance to crank it up yet? itll really make you appreciate power tube saturation when you get that crunch channel glowing yeah i did, the crunch has ALMOST as much gain as i would like, a clean boost will definetely take care of that problem though. The lead channel i ran the gain at 2:30-3:00. What tubes did you have in it when you owned it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members tsunamijesus Posted January 30, 2008 Members Share Posted January 30, 2008 at those gain levels it wouldnt hardly saturate.mine would be hinting at saturation at those gain levels and then i would crank it (i mean to 10 on preamp 10 on master) and it would get nice and thick with a lot of rich low mid undertonesjust sayin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Seano Porno Posted January 31, 2008 Members Share Posted January 31, 2008 it is very nice sounding, it has a bogner vibe, chewy, thick, darker(than my cobra). One thing i notice is that it is still real tight and clear. How's the clean compared to the Cobra? My mate has Teh Cobraz and I'm SOO down with that clean. The drive channels seemed a bit toppy to me. Not as harsh as I can dial my RK if I'm being thick but still toppy. If the Dragon is good enough for Geordie Walker...............:poke: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Steveanders86 Posted January 31, 2008 Members Share Posted January 31, 2008 id like to know how the dragons clean compares to the cobras. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members JoshuaLogan Posted January 31, 2008 Members Share Posted January 31, 2008 The clean channel is very similar, but warmer.... not as bright. with the treble/presence high it's very nice. That is my old dragon by the way. It was originally owned by a guitarist in this crappy band from Equal Vision Records called Versus The Mirror. He got it new and didn't have it long. I bought it from him, and later on sold it to tsunamijesus. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members FourT6and2 Posted January 31, 2008 Members Share Posted January 31, 2008 its up there with the shiva in terms of tonal quality, its just a different beast. shiva has shimmer and bite, the dragon has spread and punch. crunch channel of dragon plus OD channel of shiva mixed together... *cums* I owned a Dragon for about a year. It is nowhere near being on par with a Bogner Shiva. Plus, they are completely different types of amps. I did find that playing with the loop mix on the Dragon had some nice affects on the sound. Overall the Dragon is a nice amp (I liked it a lot better than the Cobra), but it didn't do what I needed. It DID sound a lot better with the Dragon Cab than with my Bad Cat cab, though.
