Guess what amp I JUST PICKED UP!!!!

Re: Guess what amp I JUST PICKED UP!!!!

LOL soldano...bogner...BAD CAT?! man those are nice amps haha


I think, perhaps, I have put to rest the idea that tubes are the only way to get amazing tone.
Personally though, i would save up and get the fractal audio axe fx if you are going to be doing stuff professionally/gigging, etc

but yeah, the tonelab le rocks

wired by machines in China with mechanical soldering irons hahaha...



If I said in the beginning that it was a tonelab le...everyone would be knocking it as "Oh I can hear the digitalness already.." "It sounds so cold and lifeless...no tube warmth"...."modeling sucks...tube all the way man"...ahaha

So your hint was a lie? Or did you really spend $2500 on a Tonelab? I've never heard an amp exactly like that before, and my guess is no one else had either, thus the random guesses based solely on your hint. I did like the sound, although the reverb was almost overpowering and it sounded a bit distant. Are you running straight into the board?
 
Re: Guess what amp I JUST PICKED UP!!!!

What were you playing into? Amp, direct, something like an Atomic powered speaker thing?

Yeah, but I'm of the opinion that when you tell someone you spent $2500 on an amp, they're probably going to guess that it was a $2500 amp.

That said, how does it work and what exactly does it do?

I just listened to the clips...there's no way in hell I would have believed that to be a $2500 amp just to be honest...either that or you didn't know how to EQ an amp :)
 
Re: Guess what amp I JUST PICKED UP!!!!

So how was it recorded? because a modeler direct has nothing to do with how it will sound with a band in clube with some sort of power amp/speaker.
 
Re: Guess what amp I JUST PICKED UP!!!!

I am amazing. I said it was a Vox, and i was correct.
You are. But it does sound pretty voxish. Unfortunately I was too lazy to listen I just looked a the last posts. Its pretty AC30ish, but nobody will believe me.
 
Re: Guess what amp I JUST PICKED UP!!!!

Arrr. So what model was that? Are ye direct or mic'd? Inquiring pirate minds want to know.
 
Re: Guess what amp I JUST PICKED UP!!!!

I run modelers through modelers and mix my signal aprox 60/40 with a tube preamp hybrid amplifler,. Tone snobs love to flame me AFTER they findout what Im using to get my sound....I dont care, cause like this thread ,BEFORE they find out what Im using they are like whoa man what kind of amp are you using

Maybe when they say "WHOA MAN!!" they mean it in the same way its meant when said to a Horse....
 
Re: Guess what amp I JUST PICKED UP!!!!

The fact is you did trick people by saying $2500 so they thought it was an expensive amp despite the clips. If you'd set it up and asked guess how I got this tone? then you'd get truer opinions.
 
Re: Guess what amp I JUST PICKED UP!!!!

hmm, I think a true test would be to record a clip without any reverb.
