I decided long ago i need an archon. Closest ive gotten to playing one is the model on line6 metalurgy plugin, dont kniw how close that was but it sounded incredible and just reading all i have makes it sound right up my alley!
Once im done paying off my fender pro reverb ill likely start...
Looking for a cheap solution footswitch for gen one 7 pin 5150iii 100w head???
As far as I know the gen1 was not midi but im not certain.
Ive been googling but am not seeing anything, any help would be appreciated.
Ye
Ah I love it, always has a chunk to it! As much as a love the quirk factor of using singlecoils I HAVE thought about putting something completely opposite in like bk cpigs or something lol
As some may know I traded my single recto head for a gen1 evh 5150iii 100w.
1st thing I noticed is how good palm mute chuggin sounds, it's definitely got "IT" and has a nice busy gain structure. Lots of hairy saturation (didn't wake up thinking I'd be saying that lol)
Its kind of "dry"...
Not a 3 band but the mxr m77 has a 100hz control as well as a lower mids boost switch. It's a total hidden gem!... Well it was until badseeds vids got popular lol. So they probably went from $50 to $200 now
It sounds great (as expected) but the whole evh thing and the stripes etc always really turned me off lol I'm not a van Halen fan (I know I'm dumb) and more importantly everyone and their grandma's use a 5150iii and the thought of joining the herd is just kinda BLeCk🤢 mind you I'm a sucker for...
Well, I'm currently waiting for buddy to show up to trade his gen1 evh 5150iii 100w for my mesa single recto 50.
I doubt I'll keep the evh but have always wanted to try one and i figure I'm trading up and it SHOULD be easier to sell or trade a 5150iii.
Am I an idiot? 🥴
I still think swamp thangs are the best speaker I've tried. Imo they are capable of handling anything and are not inherently flabby at all unless YOU dial it in. They can do super aggressive and tight but YOU have to dial your gear in that way.
Its the old addage that it's better to have it and...
@4Eyes but actually you're 100% wrong lol. Ive never been so 50/50 on the fence. I'm totally paralyzed and don't know which to go with.
So just to reiterate... Youre wrong 😉😘
I actually run 8 pedals atm on my dc5. Just pair up pedals that DONT exceed the mA. For example, one one of the power outputs on the cioks (or any power supply) it may say 100mA.
You can use a Y split cable or a daisy chain and use any number of pedals you want, but each pedal uses specific mA...
@Trashgreen lucky bugger!!
Ahh man the V2 as well!!
Thanks for the vids! Sounds like it def has that classic randall grindy mid crunchiness!
If you ever want to sell it hit me up!! 😄
How would you say the lowend compares to something like a dual recto?
