I posted a clip here: http://acapella.harmony-central.com/forums/showthread.php?s=&threadid=1214631 I had the gain only about 1/4 of the way up. It's smoking. Soon Mako will be switching to hybrid amps instead of PTP (sound exactly the same, and have lifetime warranties). The wait time will be cut big time and the amps will cost less.

How is the tone? Is it even comparable to anything out there, or does it have it's own thing going on? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The gain on the Dorado is meaner, more aggressive. When the gain is lower, it kind of has that drier UL thing happening. When the gain is higher, it gets real saturated yet stays clear. It's really cool. That amp is definitely dark and needs to be paired up with the right cab and speakers. Having said that, I can honestly say that it's definitely a keeper for me. One of the best metal amps I've ever played. And I've played most of them.A few weekends ago, JB brought his (at the time) Blackmore and Recto. I got to try them side by side to my amps. My favorite was the Herbert (there's so much happening with that amp), and next was the Dorado(meaner, my perfect heavy rhythm amp), then the Blackmore, and the Recto last. All my opinion of course.J Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
