Members ocnor Posted February 1, 2008 Members Share Posted February 1, 2008 Go listen to some more YouTube clips of other amps so you can tell yourself the Legacy is "Teh Best Amp evars!!" Then go listen to your {censored}ty clips, and hear how much you need to stop playing guitar because you're terrible, on top of having awful, generic, dull tone. Then kill yourself What no comment about male genitalia? It's funny how the amp snobs [like you] were fawning all over the youtube clips of the Tiny Terror until I linked the clip of the kid playing a Gorilla amp that sounded VERY similar. Then all of the sudden it was "you can't tell what an amp sounds like from a crappy youtube clip". You really need to get over yourself. Nobody cares what you think because you have proven to all of us that you are tone deaf. Every time that you post you show your ignorance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Phishmonkey Posted February 1, 2008 Members Share Posted February 1, 2008 I have a Legacy and I love it but in all honesty, the Vai demo clips sound like ass.My bad, listening on laptop speakers . I was like "It might sound good, guess I'll post it :idk:" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members jaytee123 Posted February 1, 2008 Members Share Posted February 1, 2008 Are you able to turn it past one? If you answer is no than you should sell the {censored}er and use you cash for something that will please your ears 80% of the time at low volume. Or, get some noice Od pedals to juice it up a bit. Seems thats what Mr Vai does. I wanted a Legacy but I keep seeing Vai trying different pedals with it to make it sound better. If he can't make it sound good I sure as {censored} ain't gonna:freak: Yeah, you figure if you're famous and work with a manufacturer on your dream amp, you shouldn't need to plop eq's and OD's in to make it sound better.

Every time that you post you show your ignorance.I never fawned over that clip I just laughed that you formed your opinion of the Tiny Terror on a Youtube clip. I have played through one in person, so I know what they sound like. Conversely you claimed that I have never even seen a Carvin Legacy and I formed my opinion through clips. Trust me, my amps have fantastic tone Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Ron Burgandy Posted February 1, 2008 Members Share Posted February 1, 2008 PhailSomewhat agree that if you can buy the amp for a reasonable price, then add a boost to get it where you want then it's worthwhile. I use boosts with several of my amps. Point is, if someone arrives at their desired tone it doesn't really matter how they achieved it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I use boosts with several of my amps. Point is, if someone arrives at their desired tone it doesn't really matter how they achieved it. Just for the record, I was talking about Steve Vai. The original quote i responded to said that he needs to put pedals in front of his amp to get the sound he is looking for.He has an amp company at his disposal and he can't get them to create the sound he's looking for? I wasn't referring to all the other players that get these, of course their taste will be different than Mr. Vai's and they may need to tailor their sound with pedals. They can build in a boost for him hif he needs it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They can build in a boost for him hif he needs it. He also uses a ton of effects through the loop, should they build a harmonizer into the amp for him too?? Super Spider Valve? A lot of players want their amp to be the base of their tone keeping the amp as simple as possible and add effects in front of the amp and in the loop to get variations on the basic tone.

Members Raoul Duke! Posted February 1, 2008 Members Share Posted February 1, 2008 That's just Vai for you. He'd boost his son if he could.I'd hate to think where he would try to plug in........ but the Legacy is meant to be cranked anyways aint it? Vai runs his cleans on 4 or so last time I saw a picture of his settings. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steve changes things up fairly regularly, its much easier to call up analogman and get some new toys to play with They are working a new legacy, but I don't see it putting an end to vai's pedal use Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vai runs his cleans on 4 or so last time I saw a picture of his settings. His lead volume is at like 7 Wish I had the luxury of doing that, I'm lucky if I can get it to 4 in an unmiced setting. And its all fizzy and below that Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members JoshuaLogan Posted February 1, 2008 Members Share Posted February 1, 2008 I think using the legacy for cleans and leads and a different amp or preamp in the FX loop of it for tight high gain rhythms would be a great budget setup...

Members worldoftone Posted February 1, 2008 Members Share Posted February 1, 2008 That bad, huh? Well, it ain't good. I know my way around the MFers pretty good now. Not by choice mind you. BTW: Carvin has the OT Secondary leads marked WRONG on the circuit board on some of these Legacys. Just so you know. - WOT Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Guiary Posted February 1, 2008 Author Members Share Posted February 1, 2008 Guy makes a post asking serious question and his thread turns into a pissing match..........geez......Meh I'm not too worried, few of the posts have answered my questions quite well. I gave the bad monkey another try tonight and I think I'm finally getting the understanding on how to boost an amp . The Bad Monkey sounds better than no monkey but still not what I'm completely looking for or am after. mfergel you wouldn't happen to have clips of your Legacy boosted with the MXR ZW-44 would you? It seems like it's going to be a total hit or miss when it comes to searching for boost pedals, similar to buying pickups for a guitar I guess. I kind of know what I want, but don't but when I hear the right sound I'll know... you know?Gary Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
