Offer Accepted... Payment Delivered. Been-a-long-time-a-comin New Amp Day

Re: Offer Accepted... Payment Delivered. Been-a-long-time-a-comin New Amp Day

I came home today to find a package had been delivered.



****. I ordered ANOTHER bulk pack of Texas toast online. I've got to stop drinking.

"I don't think its toast this time, dude." Whatever cat. I'm still skeptical.

She's lovely, isn't she? It's 1am so I didn't play loudly or for very long, but she sounds great. Definitely has a ton of headroom. Definitely lives in that growly lowmid EQ area I love so much.

Can't wait to put the stacks back up and really see what she can do...

There's no need for amps that loud bro... all you need is an over priced booteek 5 watt vox or fender clone and a good pa ;)

Also.. after really thinking about it... that emperor is just not gonna work with that head. Its gonna sound and look like stupid.

Send it to me...
 
Re: Offer Accepted... Payment Delivered. Been-a-long-time-a-comin New Amp Day

Meh I've got a Class 5, a Valve Jr, a Micro Terror... And if this dude on my local clist gets real with his pricing, a Matamp Minimat II soon... I like em, I use em, they're good for what they do but...

I play loud, heavy RocknRoll and loud, heavy amps pushed by quality distortion pedals have always been and will always be the best tools to get that job done.

That Emperor cabinet was a gift from Our Dark Lord Himself. His Infernal Majesty sent one of His lost minions to trade me that cab for a cool-sounding-but-not-my-steelo Gibson solidstate amp... And it was sofa king rad. Ramen.

With the Orange cab on top its all "HALLOWEEN MOTHER FUN CAR." With the tolexrippedoffandwoodstainedwinered 73 model T its totally diabolical. So um NO IT'S MINE STOP ASKING FOR IT GAWSH.

I almost forgot the x-rated pic.



Everything exactly as it should be, except for a few dings, dents & tolex marks. Like a 20-something college babe deciding to drop out and move in with me... She's beautiful and flawless but she wants to see how dirty she can get.

Even her ample Mercury transformers are Orange. I am head over heels.

Thanks man.

Stole some time from the morning routine to crank her up... All I can say is WOW.

It's so satisfying when everything just sounds "right." This is the tone I've wanted for years and have been chasing my tail trying to coax it from fuzz pedals.

Plug straight in, crank the gain knob (there is no "volume" knob. It is never quiet.) and bask in the Orange glow. I'm excited to plug pedals into it but I really don't need to.

I really love the FAC control on these amps. I don't know if you were playing with the settings in the picture, but the far-left notch will be quite the push in the low mids. My personal favorite is the second one from the right which yields an almost-Marshall cutting midrange with plenty of Orange grind.
 
Re: Offer Accepted... Payment Delivered. Been-a-long-time-a-comin New Amp Day

Yeah I was really amazed at how the FAC controls your tone. All the way left is VERY big sounding, with lots of oomph. As you click it to the left, the lows relax and the highs get pumped up. The middle notches sound more Marshall... The far right is almost Vox. Very versatile... Perfect for my doom stuff but great for blues and rock.

The Baxandall EQ is wild too. Very confusing to read about... Very intuitive when you hear it.

Yup. It rules.

I've been good with my amps for a while, but you and BF are making me question my level of satisfaction.
 
Re: Offer Accepted... Payment Delivered. Been-a-long-time-a-comin New Amp Day

I duno what happened man. I went on this little exploratory sonic trip this year after I scored my Orange 4x12. When the model T fell into my lap I figured I might as well just go all the way and get the OTHER head I always wanted...
 
Re: Offer Accepted... Payment Delivered. Been-a-long-time-a-comin New Amp Day

for my type of music that I play and listen to, a cranked Orange OR120 is the BEST sound!!! I would take that sound over matamp GT1.
 
Re: Offer Accepted... Payment Delivered. Been-a-long-time-a-comin New Amp Day

I took it to practice today... It's so damn loud, you guys.

I might finally be in the market for an attenuator... Either that or I might need that Hovercraft after all... I had to set the amp to "barely anything" and use my ZVex Double Rock for distortion... Which sounded great but it bummed me out because I can do that with my Bassman, yknow?

I guess i'll be reading about attenuation tonight...
