and I was NOT feeling it at first!

I immediately went for modern tones on an EMG loaded 7 string. Hated it. Hated the mids characteristic of it.

Came back this morning with my Balaguer Evergreen loaded “Ace Special” LP and it’s f*****g fantastic!

Way more gain than anyone needs. For the life of me I cannot see why anyone boosts this amp. Big Marshall bark at volume but still all the chuggy goodness “modern” I hoped for.

I’ve played all the 50 watt versions and been underwhelmed. Never bonded with the OG peavey’s either.

This guys gonna hang around I think.

I agree. Absurdly hot pickups + OD’s pretty much slam every bit of nuance out of a lot of these amps. It’s already an uber-gain amp.
Yeah I am keeping the green gain wide open as it makes the Blue channel fuller. 10:00 for blue and red gain! Lol!

More than enough for thrash and power metal, that’s for sure!

Are you using this for that Maiden thing I saw you posting about?
Nah man I am actually using the Fortin Cali. It CRUSHES for old Maiden tones.

I really got this as I am looking to finally break ground in the early summer on the casita which will be my home studio. That’s why I bought the drum kit as well so I can do full tracking.

No one will book you for metal if you have no 51510 of some sort.

That’s dope AF man.
That set-up is MEAN.
What cabinet is that?
It’s not a “Wilsonite” is it?..HOLY LTFOL !
(-the triangle with the circle around it)-

You’ve got plenty of bangers hangin’ up there!
At your Maiden shows, flip the switch &
bust out some’of them Sum 41 “Fat Lip” chunkers
then back into “Run To The Hills”
-the drummer in Maiden is AMAZING &
funny as hell!!

Thanks man! The cab is made by V Boutique. Has Celestion Redback’s in it

We just had our second rehearsal today… Such fun music to play! I’ll be having a custom Dave Murray “strat” made relatively soon.
