Re: What do you think about this amps tone? VH test
I'm crackin up here, cause my first reaction as well, was to make fun of this guy like he was the new uncool kid in 2nd grade class! I think what makes it so uncomfortable to watch is the fact that he never looks at the camera, almost like talking to someone with a floating eye! (no dis to anyone here with a "floater") But after you get past that, the site is pretty cool and the lessons very insightful, although not always accurate IMHO, but thats the whole idea of personal interperatation.
Anyways, this just goes to show that there are a zillion ways to get to the VH tone, and in this example, the guy is breaking ALL the rules. No ga-zillion dollar late 60's Plexi, no expensive boutique amp, no 8.5-ish paf, no dummy load, no wet/dry setup and no variac. Instead, a JB loaded Kramer through a solid state Crate! I borrowed this exact amp at a gig when my amp **** the bed right before showtime, and I hated it, so kudo's to JF for getting such a great tone from that thing.
