    Downsizing from a 412 halfstack to a combo

    I played two full stacks for ten years in a band that did about 100 gigs a year. Then another several years with just a half stack for jamming after the band thing ended, to a 1x12 combo because as my years progressed my back did not. But after five years with just that combo I went back to a...

    EDIT Trem-o-verb vs Laney VH100r

    Tremoverbs are out of production. As time goes on it will probably become harder to find them in decent condition. I say grab one now. If as you say you'll eventually have both I think it would be easier to find a Legacy, especially since Carvin is still producing them. And $550 sounds...

    Played a Fender American Standard Strat through my Roadking

    I run my 2000 American Standard into my Tremoverb for metal. I concur it is surprising how heavy it sounds. I always used all mahogany, set-neck, humbucker guitars for the heavy stuff. I never even wanted a Strat. Then I was offered one as a trade for an amp I was selling. I thought, "Why not?"...

    The Trem-O-Verbs of 2008 - tell me about your amp

    It's the oversized 4x12. I paid $1000.00 for the head almost two years ago and it's in perfect condition. But given where I live it's fairly easy to come by a Mesa at a reasonable price. $1600 sounds a bit high unless it has one of Mesa's amazing custom wood options or something.

    The Trem-O-Verbs of 2008 - tell me about your amp

    I'm on my second Tremoverb, a head on a 4x12 Recto cab. My first one was the combo, which got destroyed in an electrical fire. I recommend the head over the combo just for the sake of the weight. I think the combo was well over 100 lbs. Not that a Mesa 4x12 isn't heavy! In the 25 years I've been...

    Should I switch to carvin?

    I owned a V3 for two years. Or I should say I owned 3 V3s because they kept malfunctioning. I had a first production run that had a lot of RF problems and made nasty noises at all volumes. Exchanged that one after Carvin finally offered a replacement under a "silent recall" as they put it. Six...

    two kinds of tremoverbs?

    My first Tremoverb, which was destroyed in a fire, looked like the first picture also. Except mine had black piping. It did have the larger centered logo and the large gray casters. Even more of a curiosity was that I also had a Rectifier 2x12 horizontal extension cab that had an angled base...

    country from a TOV

    Howdy, although I'm not a country player I do enjoy occassionally gettin' my twang on. I run my clean channel in tube/spongey, the reverb about 75%, the trem at full depth with a moderately fast rate, depending on song tempo of course. I go 50-60% bass, low mids, 60-80% treble, about 30%...

    Tremoverb vs. 3 Ch DR

    I can't compare to the 3 ch DR or the Roadster since I haven't played either, but I did own a 2 ch DR I bought brand new in 1993. I thought that was it until I tried the T-Verb a couple years later. To me it was way more versatile and could still do the DR thing. I sold the DR and bought a...

    If you had to choose 1 amp, what would it be?????

    After owning something like 30 amps of all types and manufacturers I can honestly say my Trem-O-Verb is it. I know there are amps with better clean tones, better British tones, heavier distortion, etc. but I have yet to want a tone I CAN'T get with the T-Verb, and I play everything from country...

    ?Chrome Knobs Poll? Yes or no.

    These are very easy to see on a dark stage but I'm still not sure I'll stick with these or go back to the chrome. [/img]

    What made you decide to buy a mesa boogie?

    I'm currently on my third Mesa. I bought a DR half stack when they first came out, and an ANGLED 2x12 horizontal recto cab which was designed as a monitor (anyone remember those?). I had owned seven different Marshalls in the 80s but was always wanting more than they could deliver. In '93 I...

    Tremoverb - Which Cab is Best?

    I run both the slant and straight 4x12 recto cabs with the stock V30s on stage. I've plugged into various other cabinets my buddies have, i.e. Marshall, Fender, Hiwatt, Orange, etc. and found each to have unique strengths and/or weaknesses. The recto cabs are working out just fine for me. I like...

    Tremoverb Design Flaw?

    I wonder if that would explain the Trem-o-Verb combo I had in the mid 90s that spontaneously caught fire. I was jamming at rehearsal and suddenly no sound, I turn around and there's smoke pouring out of it. By the time we got an extinguisher and put it out the whole thing was charcoal. Imagine...

    How would a Stiletto Stack up against a Marshall JCM 900 SLX

    I had a 100 watt SLX and it was **** cool! It had the most gain of any Marshall I had ever owned, and I had 7 different JCM800s, but it had a different "flavored" tone than the 800s. If you've already got a Stiletto I see no reason to get the SLX unless it's such a great deal you just can't pass...

    Dual rectifier tremoverb and single rectifier

    My vote goes to the Trem-o-Verb. I had an early DR that I really liked, but once I tried the T-Verb I was hooked. I think if you like to play a variety of styles the T-Verb is way more versatile. The tremolo and reverb add some nice spice, but for me the real difference is the flexibility. I...

    Recto 4x12 Cabs: Straight or Slant?

    I like the 4x12 straight on the bottom for making my pants legs flap, and the slant stacked on top for making my ears ring! :twisted: Actually I have found that my preference differs depending on the situation. If I'm playing in a small space and I'm forced to stand close to my amp or at low...

    Recommend best 2x12 for cleans

    Actually I should have been specific and said 2x12 cabinet. Not to say I wouldn't absolutely love a LSC or DR. Z. In fact I would prefer doing exactly that and getting an amp dedicated for my cleans. But the Trem-o-Verb is still a very recent purchase and if I brought another amp home...well...
