Members Kid_A Posted November 1, 2005 Members Share Posted November 1, 2005 Looks great! But not to keen on the sound samples... Dont think 6l6 amps are my thing... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members 4Kenoath Posted November 1, 2005 Members Share Posted November 1, 2005 BTW nice new t-shirt design Toadman. I hate those t-shirts which just look like an advertising logo banner for a product. I also like the design look of your amp. I think the clips need some more variety in the cleans and OD though with more chord work and gain range for example. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members palthegiraffe Posted November 1, 2005 Members Share Posted November 1, 2005 That looks nice. It's almost like a combo version of my beloved '66 Tremolux head (also 35W, A/B, 6L6s), with reverb instead of tremolo. But much nicer-looking.

I think the clips need some more variety in the cleans and OD though with more chord work and gain range for example. why thank you sir We actually are in the process of recording more clips, including clips with common effects (like the dreaded Tube Screamer), so people can gauge the tone & response of the amp A coulpe points that should be made: 1) the handle pictured is NOT the handle it ships with - the production ersion has a regular black strap plastic & metal handle 2) the reverb control has a Tone contrl specifically for the reverb - I cant believe that ALL other amps don't have this.... it's soooooo necessary, it allows you to completely change the nature of the reverb, which make a huge difference in the overal tone. 3) all units will be shipped with the new Electro-Harmonix 6L6 and 12AT7 tubes, which are, in my opinion, the best sounding new tubes, and they are actually pretty inexpensive.

Members halcyon360 Posted November 1, 2005 Members Share Posted November 1, 2005 If you don't mind me asking why 12AT7's? For more clean headroom? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Actually, yes - and I like the sond of 12AT7s, they are smoother sounding, have less overall gain, and have rich, warm harmonics that 12AX7s just dont seem to have.... and frankly that sound lends itself to effects use a little bit better. You can put 12AX7s in it, of course, but it does change the overall nature of the tone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members halcyon360 Posted November 1, 2005 Members Share Posted November 1, 2005 Im gonna have to try that in my amp. Your amp is very beautiful by the way. The clean sound clips sound good too, does it have much headroom? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good point - we used a standard Strat and LP '59. The LP definitely causes the breakup to start sooner, down around 10 o'clock. It's by no means a high-gain amp though.

Members Roy Brooks Posted November 1, 2005 Members Share Posted November 1, 2005 That might be right up my alley. I plan on buying that kind of amplifier in the not too distant future. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members lowroadrevival Posted November 1, 2005 Author Members Share Posted November 1, 2005 Yeah I think it's cool. I don't really neeeed it as I have the 50 watt sunn and 2x12 set-up for that kind of thing, BUT if I had an extra $1400 laying around.... I'd buy one just on principle.
