Re: Low Watt High Gain Amp??
Germ...that sounded Awsome. Which amp was that? Type of power tubes? Wattage?
I could only listen through my computer speakers, but it sounded really good. Perhaps a tad dark, but again..could be my speakers. Nice compression and OD, but still retains some clarity.

Re: Low Watt High Gain Amp??
I agree...that does sound killer. Now, it just needs to be in a head version and not a combo.

Re: Low Watt High Gain Amp??
soldano esque preamp section, but my own invention in alot of ways, into a simple but effective PI and 6V6 power section. i used an emg85 bridge, a 1x12 loaded with a mojo copy of a celestion lead 80, shure PG57, and used goldwave recording software. wasnt terribly loud, maybe just enouigh to hear some speaker getting into it. kept the highs a little low so that when a lead was put on top, it would mix properly.
simple, no frills amp, for not alot of money. PM if you need more info.

Re: Low Watt High Gain Amp??
Sounds alot like my 6505 but warmer with a little less clarity. Very very nice tone. I love the lowend that thing has, sort of plexi like.
Do you have a website?

Re: Low Watt High Gain Amp??
Here is another clip, this is out of a single 12" speaker, no pedals or added affects. I am so rusty with recording I wish I could add drums, so its is raw, at bedroom levels on 2 ish.

Re: Low Watt High Gain Amp??
I've been on a similar search for a long time and I've come to a conclusion - either use a good pedal or get a bigger amp that has a usable master volume. There's just not a lot of beef in small amp transformers to get a big gainy (quality) sound and there's not a big market for that kind of small-package gi-gain product anyway.
Boom!! :bowdown:

Re: Low Watt High Gain Amp??
Tone is always subjective, and I never liked the tone of pedals, they always sound artificial to me. The 20watt amps I build have transformers that are twice the size of that Valve Jr. or a Blues Jr. So yes I agree with half of what you are saying that the size of transformers do matter, as well as the circuit, and speakers. Pedals and tone is like I said to each his own.

Re: Low Watt High Gain Amp??
I got a reply from Trace Davis today at Voodoo amps I enquired about that fender champ sound clip. here's a portion of the email.
~~~ Hi, can you tell me exactly what kind of fender vibro champ was used on
the sound clip you have?
@@@ A silver faced Vibro Champ with the Witchdoctor circuit installed,
however the only thing that was stock in that amp was the power transformer.
We are extremely close to releasing a 10 watt 1x12" Witchdoctor combo,
complete with a Celestion Vintage 30. It will be the same physical size as a
Fender Blues Jr.
~~~ I would like to have that sound. I want to buy an exact one and send it
to you for that moddification.
@@@ You are welcome to and the modifications are $xxx.xxplus
shipping/handling (again we only use the stock power transformer, everything
else is replaced). It may make more sense to wait a couple weeks and
purchase a 10 watt Witchdoctor, while we will make less money selling you a
10 watt Witchdoctor verses doing the mods I think your money is better spend
there.

Re: Low Watt High Gain Amp??
Could you PM me with the price for the mod? So I could compare it to the 10 watt Witchdoctor when it comes out. Thanks

I don't know if this was mentioned but you could do the Hughes and Kettner Edition Tube 20W. I think it's supposed to have a great overdrive.
