Members Assumer Posted December 8, 2006 Members Share Posted December 8, 2006 Great amp, I have had mine for about a week and I am loving it. Never played the 2x12. Anyone have one, what was your reason for getting the 2x12 over the 1x12? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Assumer Posted December 10, 2006 Members Share Posted December 10, 2006 I am setting mine with the gain about half way up for a clean semi dirty (when playing hard) then using a boost for overdrive. It sounds great. Just a full cutting great sounding amp. I have never had a one channel amp before but the dynamics are amazing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members supersecretjim Posted December 13, 2006 Members Share Posted December 13, 2006 Here you go...set up in my home music room. Running in stereo through my G-system along with my Peavey XXX. The G-system controls channels for the XXX & controls the boost on the Black Pearl. . I love the Black Pearl. Its not the type of amp I usually play through, but thats why I bought it. I was actually a little disappointed in the review in guitar player magazine. It got the award, and thats cool, but too short of a review & not in depth enough about the sounds & capabilities For anyone interested, here's my guitars... Top row: Wayne Charvel personally built & set up custom Villain (not a "Fender" Charvel) w/flat fret board radius (one of a kind - & he'll never make another!), Carvin California Carved Top flame sunburst (easily the best looking guitar I own, stainless jumbo frets too!) Middle row: Parker 10th anniversary fly, Parker Single cut red flame, Parker 2003 Nitefly M, 89 Kramer Proaxe Std Bottom row: Blue Shadow s-140, Red Shadow s-140, Kramer Nightswan signed by Vivian Campbell Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
