Irrational amp lust - Hovercraft?

Re: Irrational amp lust - Hovercraft?

One of my buddies had an Andromeda, he sold it to finance a custom OR type amp (I think). He already uses another custom OR by the same local guy that's awesome, so I dunno.


Oh lokkie here, I found a video of him using it:

Girl band uses Hovercraft.
 
Re: Irrational amp lust - Hovercraft?

I wonder who is more excited about YOUR amp . . . you, or the rest of the forum :D

Well, I'm not sure that anybody other than Jon, EP, Everdrone, Izzo, and Jordan share our dignified tastes so we will have to wait and see! :smokin:

I'm pretty stoked to hear what you think... Because you're gona hate it and sell it to me.
 
Re: Irrational amp lust - Hovercraft?

gonna be honest. If he's gonna not like it and sell it to someone on the forums, you ain't it.
There is someone who's mania for the amp company has ended up sending half a dozen friends in the direction of the company, as well as Flannel. There's a guy on here who asked someone to drive by the warehouse and take pictures of the bikes and van upon finding out someone was going to Portland.

That dude is me.
 
Re: Irrational amp lust - Hovercraft?

Yeah well you're also the guy who always says he doesn't have any money and I negotiated some pretty fantastic savings on that Orange I just bought :smokin:
 
Re: Irrational amp lust - Hovercraft?

Firstly, I'm going to love the amp.

Secondly, with as much business as he throws his way; Nial should really just give Jon an amp at this point.

Thirdly, whatever happened to the "retarded, retarded, retarded, deal on a cabinet, homie?

I am flattered that you guys wanna fight over my amp before its even arrived.
 
Re: Irrational amp lust - Hovercraft?

Big Flannel, refresh me, which model did you order?

The one I am most interested in is the Falcon. But I am very interested to hear your review of the amp when it arrives.

Dwarvenaut. Sunn T and Orange voice, FAC, falcon voice control, double depth.

Re: Irrational amp lust - Hovercraft?

they've got a few voice sets now, including a supergroup/marshall and a super-secret HM2 voice. There's also a "feelth" knob he can install on em too. Not sure what it does; may be a parametric mid/lo thing. It really scums up the gain.
 
Re: Irrational amp lust - Hovercraft?

That's like, the whole enchilada, right?

Pretty much. I'm pretty sure the Feelth knob that Brother Jon mentioned takes the place of Double Depth which kinda sucks but I'm sure you can get both if you ask nicely.

Feelth takes your low end subharmonics and makes them more immense. The low end gets really sludgy and its awesome.

Double depth is like a prescence control spread over two knobs at the back of the amp. The first "Depth" does just what it says and the second, "Power Voice" adjusts your power amp between a Vintage (Orange OR, Matamp, Sunn, Hiwatt) sound and more modern (JCM 800, Recto, and Nial even claims Uberschall) high gain tones.

I hope I explained that well enough. There's a lot of mystery behind what they do at Hovercraft.

I just remembered, you may or may not be aware that he has an experimental Hiwatt voice that he has put into 2 of the Dwarvenauts so far. Instead of the FAC and/or the Falcon switch it has a "HYRE" mode switch that seems pretty interesting.

Its probably a good pedal platform.
