3rd Power x Joe Satriani Amplifier news

[Jarick]

Amps sound killer in clips!

I pre-ordered the Dragon 100 head. Still debating either the matching 2x12 or 4x12

That's amazing! Will you report back when you get it, and let us know
what you have to compare it to (past or present)?

Will do!

I got a JVM410H, Suhr SL67 MK II, Mesa Boogie MK VII, Friedman JEL 20.

I like their Riot pickup$.
I also want to order a custom high gain Vox monster from her.
I’ve owned many of their amps in the past and remember all those gear conversations with Jaime.
Tbh, their stuff has a “safe side” flavor of the vibe..
like right where the mean comes in, the amps tap out.
So for classic stuff, Uber expensive but killer
IMHE with 6 3rd Power amps including one of those 3X12’s which was groovy.
I wish she would make a simple ruthlessly ripping amp without those weird micro-adjuster’s and mid-notches.

I got the head a few days now and spending time dialing it in. Mostly with Strats cause that's what I play.
It is unlike any of my other amps (Marshall JVM410h, Friedman JEL 20, Mesa MK VII and Suhr SL67)

Currently plugged into a PRS 4x12 w/ Creamback 75, which I don't like much. I got the Dragon 4x12 on order.
The Dragon seems to be built like a tank. Like the Suhr. Very quiet amp as well. I'm doing alot of A/B with the various switches to get my tones.

I'll try and post a clip soon. It looks like my other amps will be getting a break for a while because I am completely enamored by the Dragon!
I got #005, so maybe the 5th one? Don't know.

Opted for the 4x12 since it's not going anywhere!

That’s awesome! But what’s going on with the inputs?

Probably so you can rewire it without having to open it up.

The back of this cabinet looks like the Milky Way
constellations and such.
That is one crazy cabinet.
I had one of the old school 3X12’s.
I ran it with V30 X Grennback X H30 = Groovy.
I actually “dropped in” on my skateboard into the
3X12.

Congrats on the beefy purchase!!
You’re kinda the lone wolf with the full dragon
set-up.
I best there’s herds & herds of killer tones with that head & cabinet.
Turn it up loud AF & play the livin’ snot outta it
until the Dragon seats, ya here?

Is the amp on the darker side within the EQ?
Her amps have a sorta polished over all vibe to it.
Like where Friedman ends.. the 3rd Power begins?-Fangs with softer top-end bite?
Fangs with ferocity..bite a chunk outta the grill cloth. Fangoria?
Stoked!

It's not what I'm used to. I hit a wrong switch or knob from time to time!

On the cab? This cab has each speaker in it's own triangular compartment, with one being open back. Two different types of speakers. All those jacks are numbered. You can go mono, Wet/ Dry, Wet/Dry/Wet, all within the same cab.

Yup, very refined and polished sounding, but unlike the Friedmans, this will kick you in the balls.
It's not a dark amp. Plenty of bite, and it is so refined sounding. Lots of ways to finesse the tones.

GTFO…. I want one….

My GAS level is high on this one. However, my wallet is not.

At that level of cash for a half stack there are other amps I would rather have

That sounds rad!
As long as the over all flavor of the vibe is
not a darker distant sound, kinda on the back end of the pick strike… that quick & juicy nano-second to get up under it.
I really liked how Jaime had dialed in my
British Dream amp, -that was by far the best high gain Vox I’ve played,
it had that killer low-mid Vox
woody midrange yummy with frog hairs of sparkle.
That & blending Febder into the Vox for the Johnny Marr Sparkle’Tron.
Word up and congrats again, that is the sickest-set-up on TGP and anywhere actually!
Outta all the new stuff,
-your amp is #2 on my radar.

Here’s a true’dat clip

This cat’s guitar playing is creative AF.
Ilove how he weaves in & out of classics

While I’m at it, this also sounds really great!!!!
