Members The Jeff Posted March 29, 2006 Members Share Posted March 29, 2006 BLAH. It's gonna sound like I'm trolling, but it's my honest assessment. I was completely unimpressed, and thought it was pretty generic sounding. IMO it was trying to be a 5150/Recto, but not quite either. I got bored of it rather quickly. On the upside, I plugged into my new VHT at home and was instantly greeted with real tone, clarity, responsiveness in the EQ, and nice chunky mids.

Members SGavin Posted March 29, 2006 Members Share Posted March 29, 2006 My Divinity has clarity in spades. What kind of guitar and speakers did you play it with and who carries them where you are? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The dude at the counter said they are custom drivers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members SGavin Posted March 29, 2006 Members Share Posted March 29, 2006 Wolf, how is the Deliverence for say Suffocation style sounds? I play complex metal with alot of guitar harmonies. If you have heard Neuraxis, that is kind of similar to my style. I find my Divinity sounds very much like Killswitch tone on the End of Heartache album but with more clarity.

Members xMadiMx Posted March 29, 2006 Members Share Posted March 29, 2006 Originally posted by Wolf-Gain It was clear, just not VHT clear . That's all the way you dialed in the amp than.. there's a reason I get calls from guys who are endorsed and using the same amp you have after hearing bands like If Hope Dies live.

Members xMadiMx Posted March 29, 2006 Members Share Posted March 29, 2006 Clarity, every single person I've had call or play on it can't get over the clarity of the amp. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members The Jeff Posted March 29, 2006 Author Members Share Posted March 29, 2006 I can get that clarity or more from my VHT and Cobra. Plus I get the added benefit of TONE. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, there sure is a reason... It is called hype and BS. You are a major spreader of disinformation and you should be banned yet again.

Members takedeepbreaths Posted March 29, 2006 Members Share Posted March 29, 2006 Originally posted by xMadiMx Clarity, every single person I've had call or play on it can't get over the clarity of the amp. The Divinity doesn't lack clarity, but it's not in the same boat as the VHT UL. I don't care how you dial it in. I haven't played a Deliverance yet so I can't say anything about that one. This is all just my humble opinion. Oh, and one thing I liked about the Divinity was that it WAS NOT a Recto or 5150. It has characteristics of both, but it definitely has its own thing going on. That's a good thing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members xMadiMx Posted March 29, 2006 Members Share Posted March 29, 2006 So when a band hears another band playing and makes it a point to comment on clarity and tone and on top of that decided to order one for themselves that's BS and Hype You're just trolling like he is.

I think I would've definitely want that amp if it was a two channel now. As for the Madison hype thing...you best watch what you say or you might have your guts spilled out for such blashphemy!...lol It takes a brave soul like you and me to spill the beans and prepare for the worst. I wonder if there will be a frenzy buy of Divinity like Engl was and when the smoke clears ...then the reselling craze begins! will see what happens?!

Members ebrecordings Posted March 29, 2006 Members Share Posted March 29, 2006 I love this amp, doesn't mean i think everyone else should... just like i despise the cobra, but others think its the greatest in the world. tone isn't fact, it's opinion. yay Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe your right about the comments but not the trolling part. Maybe some of the bands just have crap for ears. At least listening to the recorded tones they have would lead me to believe that much anyway. Gary PS. I forgot you were MR. KRANK and know GREAT TONE when you hear it!!!!!

Members xMadiMx Posted March 29, 2006 Members Share Posted March 29, 2006 Well in particular one of the like 5 bands everybody seems to worship on here and want whatever amps/guitars/cabs they use plus is one of the main bands on Ozzfest this year. As for the Krank mine sounded good, but from what people say on here they don't all sound the same, and most say they like the model I had best of the 2. Either way you slice it I still got God Forbid and Arch Enemy to leave Peavey and though lots of the bands who started using them quit doing so both of the bands I brought are still using them.
