I'm doing the same now that the weather is turning in New England, but I'm thinking a 4x10. Gives me a cool project, and it adds something new to my repertoire.
Every time a Mode Four 4x12 pops up within a 200 mile radius (which isn't often, mind you) I wrestle with the idea of trekking to...
I am addicted to speakers. I currently have two 1x12s, two 2x12s, and four 4x12s. Three of these are Mesa/Boogie cabinets (V30 Widebody 1x12, C90 Widebody 1x12, and Traditional 4x12)—I don’t mess with these. But the others are Mojotone, Avatar, Vboutique—ripe for modifications.
I’ve written a...
That or a CV-75, I would say. I'm really liking the Eminence stuff these days. I have a 4x12 with Swamps and DV77s and a 2x12 with a Governor and CV-75.
I’ve got a 4x12 with 2x DV77s and 2x Swamp Thangs. Sometimes I feel it’s a bit too mellow, but when I compare them to my Mesa 4x12, they compare very well.
The 130W rating on your VM12-65 + DV77 combo is sufficient so long as you’re not cranking the ever loving shit out of your Recto. (Note: The total power rating is the lowest rating * the number of speakers, not a sum of the rating of each speaker. You could add a 100W speaker to your DV77, and...
Jensen Tornado Stealth 80? I have a pair, and I often find them to be too bright, but they’re not fizzy by any means.
FWIW, my answer was going to be the C90, but I see you ruled it out.
Even in my real cabs, I’ve reverted back to V30s + something, even after a good bit of experimentation. It’s a large part of how I simply expect a guitar to sound.
In particular, the V30/H75 combo is killer (I’ve come back around to it) and I have another cab loaded with V30s + Jensen Raptors...
Yes, love to see more Mojotone. I have a Grand Canyon loaded with DV77s and Swamp Thangs in an X-pattern. And I have a Twin Canyon with a V30/G12H75 combo. Both are incredible.
I finally pulled the trigger on an amp switcher and a ****ton of speaker cables. I went with the 8x8 from DeLisle. It had the best connection options for my purposes: connecting this mess…
I've owned and returned the DLX already. Mine was built poorly--the internal PCBs didn't align well with the jacks. The DC jack was the most egregious misalignment. I also found the routing to be frustrating. Playing with headphones, for instance, my L and R signals were completely independent...
Might want to hang out on TGP, if you can stand it. The QC Faithful are much more active over there, relative to SSO. The Discord may be a good resource too.
It's more like, Fractal can't build more FM9's due to semiconductor shortages. In comparison to the FM3 launch, this has been much smoother and doesn't require as much polish.
That said, Is there anything you feel needs polishing? Mine functions and sounds just fine. I'm eager to see my FM9 get...
Generally, I 100% agree. Even Leon’s tones, which I dig in his videos, don’t translate well to my gear. His presets are always too bright for me. That said, I have found Austin Buddy’s stuff to be pretty agreeable. I don’t think our ideal tones jive all the time, and so a specific preset may not...
I'm sure there's useful content in CC's class, but with Leon being as prolific as he is (as Masoo mentioned), the ROI on the CC class is probably minimal.
Nothing against CC or him creating a paid-for class. If you want super-focused, specifically-ordered content, maybe that's the way to go. If...
