Traded my pristine Subway Rocket Reverb and a 100 bill for an equally clean DC-5 head. Think I did purty well on this one as this DC 5 is a freekin BEAST!!

Re: New amp day BOOGIE!
Been working with it for a while now. First off even at extreme gain this amp is DEAD SILENT!!
I snagged it to go with my other non Reverb Boogie Subway Rocket. I can run the same pedal board I use with the non verb Rocket so if i need a small rig grab the Rocket if I'm playing a bigger venue or out doors grab the DC5 and my 2/12 cab. Same basic tones same basic settings on the effects run thorough both loops exactly the same way and both run the same footswitch. Was a huge win IMO for me!!
If I kept the second Rocket I would have had to drop a speaker in it to get the amp where i wanted it tone wise. That+ it runs a completely different footswitch that is attached to the cab and plugs in under the chassis with a midi style plug instead of the 1/4 inch plug under the input on the front on both the non verb Rocket and the DC5. Makes set up MUCH easier and quicker + not having to run a separate board for each amp is really cool.Last edited by Ascension; 07-18-2018, 08:35 PM.Guitars

Re: New amp day BOOGIE!
Congrats!
The Dual Caliber Series amps are great; I love my DC-3! I think the DC-5 is one of the best club-sized amps ever. So versatile.
Enjoy!

Re: New amp day BOOGIE!
I've used one as a backline before...I remember those are loud! But that tone, though... I don't have a need for such a powerful amp now (my Blue Angel does just fine), but that's a good one.Administrator of the SDUGFComment

Re: New amp day BOOGIE!
I agree! I miss having my DC-5, such a killer amp!Originally posted by Boogie Bill View Post
The 5 way EQ on that amp is superb and makes the amp extremely versatile, IMO.
EDIT: Congrats and enjoy!Comment

Re: New amp day BOOGIE!
With the way the masters are designed on the amp it can get down to bedroom levels and still sound nice. I needed the punch as I own 3 other amps that are 25 watters running EL 84's. this one was picked up specifically for running out doors and on larger stages. I have the little Subway Rocket the Zinky Velvet and my Jet City JCA 22H Custom to choose between for the smaller stuff.Originally posted by Mincer View Post
My jet City is going to my Church tomorrow with the Blackstar 1/12 loaded with a WGS Retro to replace the Subway I traded for the DC 5.
Here is that rig unmiced.

Re: New amp day BOOGIE!
Quick up date. This one is the series B mid 90's amp and supposedly these are the beter sounding rigs of the 2. I know one thing it's a rael bad boy in a full band maix. Owned several Boogies over the years but this one is by far the best sounding one of the bunch!! REALLY digging this amp!!Guitars

yep dual calibers are good amps."Technique is really the elimination of the unneccessary ... it is a constant effort to avoid any personal impediment or obstacle to acheive the smooth flow of energy and intent"

Re: New amp day BOOGIE!
Agreed ! Had a love hate relationship with my .50 Cal + head and sold it. Loved the tones as long as I dialed in one side only but HATED the lack of control because of only one set of eq controls and one master gain. The DC 5 fixes all those issues with 2 fully separate channels + the assignable EQ.Originally posted by Chickenwings View PostGuitars
