I agree with you Vigo. I love my F-30 through my Thiele and I often get asked to turn that down by my soundman. A thing I've found with the Thiele cab is that it takes to different speakers well. I've gotten some good sounds with a Greenback, V30, and a few different Weber speakers. But the EV...

Hey, It's Ben here. Thanks for the compliments and thanks for checking out my stuff. I'm surprised to see it turn up on the boards here. The rhythm tracks on that song are cut with a Strat through an F-30 head. The gain is kinda low (believe it or not), the contour is on and the mids are...

I've never had a DR or an SLO. But I've played both and currently own amps by both companies. I think Soldano's have a distinctly different voicing than most Boogies. Much more "mid-forward" and more complex in the highs. From my experience, SLOs are more like modded Marshalls in their overall...

I think it might be the combination of a 10" speaker, rear mounting, and EL84's cranked up. I find that front mounted speakers have more full range spread and rear mounts tend to be fizzy and directional. And 10" drivers and high gain don't normally work for me. Add the 84's chime and it's a...

I have and use both of those amps. I like them both a lot. In my experience the Express has a few more tricks up it's sleeve which may or may not be useful to you. The four different modes not only have differences in gain but in feel as well. And the Express distortion is "stiffer" to my ears...

i think mesa will make it for you. i've had mine in a small box for a while. i'd say give them a call.

i plug mine into a closed back avatar 2x12 with greenbacks and love it. i can't turn it up too loud, i think the EL84s get too whispy, but at lower volume i love it. i want to check out some 10s to swap in the combo. but who makes a good 10? i'd been wanting to ask if you guys had any luck with...

this is 1/2 my current touring rig: http://www.benkenney.com/58.jpg the other system is 4 walkabout 1x12s. that rig gives best bass sound i've ever heard on stage.

this may seem counter-intuitive but i use a 16Ω cab with all my ace and it sounds great. i prefer it to any of the 8 ohm cabs i've tried. now, it's important to mention that this is the only 2x12 with greenbacks i've heard the amp through, any other time it was through V30s. greenbacks...

hehe. hey jbird, i think i was started typing my post when you were hitting the submit button. i feel you on that.

i'm probably one of the few but i would love to see something single channel with a simple signal path. maybe 30 watts, no variable wattage settings, no loops, no nothin. like a channel lifted out of the lonestar, stripped to the bone and housed in a widebody open back 1x12 combo. just give me...

i recommend the emma transmorgrifier. i've used the keeley with a bunch of amps and it was good but limited in my opinion. i needed a compressor i could use under alot of different circumstances in the studio. the emma is like having a dbx160 in your pedalboard. in your dirty channel it can give...

i remember using a friend's sundown years ago. i think a guy at melody music in edison new jersey made the amps and they were variations on mesa mark I's. i'm probably way off. my memory isn't that clear about the whole thing. but my buddy's amp was great. i remember that.

almost sorta kinda close to how i like to do it. >> but i have an open back 1x12 under a LSS and the cube under a univalve.

i recently picked up the ace 2 X 12 and i've used an F-50 for a few years now. i prefer the ace's dirty channel over the 50. it's got a bit of that marshall clarity, but it still sounds boogie. but i doubt i'll ever find myself wanting to use the ace for cleans. i really don't like the clean...

i kept the V30 in my bogner and it's pretty cool. however, i've been wanting to try a greenback to see it i like the top end more. i use a bunch of different heads with the cube and my only gripe is the high mids and highs. i'd like more articulation in the high mids and smoother highs above...

if you're not playing with the amp mic'd up and running through a PA then beam blockers might be a good idea. they soften up on axis tone quite a bit. if you have to mic your cab alot then beam blockers can be kinda clumsy to get around. maybe block just two of the speakers and leave the other...

the weber blue dog is really cool, but to my ears it's darker than a V30. and if it's as good a take on the celestion blue as i've read, then the celestion might not have the top end you want. i've had good experiences with a greenback. it might be cool in the lonestar box. and the 5 watt...

i use a pair of thiele's who've both had a few different speakers in them. so far i've tried a weber alnico blue dog & alnico silver bell, a celestion greenback, a naylor special design 50, and the stock ev. i think they have a great sound for recording, especially the natural low end. it has a...

sheesh. what are marshalls going for down there?
