What Amp Are You Playing Today?

[Deadpan]

This is one of those amps that really responds different to different tubes.

Rolling some now. Tried the old Philips 7581a and they were a bit wooley sounding. Have an odd set in there now that is not too bad. One is a Sylvania and the other is a GT black plate. Need to try KT66 next.

No one asked but here’s a quick 1-take vid… full of f-ups… oh well…

I’m considering grabbing

He said 'grab.'

I like the way you think.

Ooh, I like that! Never seen that color on a Mark.

Fired up the old '73 VT-22 today, only to be flabbergasted about how brutally loud/direct/thumpy it is. Even at "lower" volume levels, this thing will reach out and beat you right in the face.

Today I'm setting up a new pedalboard with the Tone King Imperial mk II preamp and Fractal VP4 combined with the Mesa Boogie Badlander 50 combo.

As a secondary experiment, I'm going to add my Red Sound MF10 stereo monitors to augment the Badlander's Creamback for a massive wall of sound.

Checking these three out on a small board.

My wife would agree.

While I love playing crushing metal with the IIC+… there’s just something magical playing a 100 Watt Marshall half stack…

Pedals are fun but I get the most satisfaction out of rocking out just straight in.

Did a bunch of A/Bing yesterday between the four amps on my switcher: Bogner 101b, Revv 100R, Engl Savage 60 Mk II and the Armored Sabot Gen 3. I was really hoping there'd be a clear winner between the 3 channel switchers, but they're all great in their own right and seem to excel in different ranges. The Sabot is just flat out mayhem, but its also very noisy, which I honestly think just might add to the mystique of it lmao - on one hand, it seems so noisy that maybe I should have my tech look at it, but also, I'm afraid that "fixing" it might make it less badass.

There’s definitely something to the whole Gibson through Marshall thing.
