oh man now I can dig that. A Chevelle and a Camaro. I had 69 Z-28 back in the day. Nice

Is the Bogner a closed back cab?

It does. Full disclosure... I'm not a v30 fan, not a hater, just not a huge fan of an all v30s cab. I don't have a JP2C but do have a IIC+ HR with basically the same power section config. I always felt that there was a "thinness, lack of depth" in my Recto Hor 2x12 with the IIC+. It was punchy...

I do believe the Mesa v30s are different. Is the Bogner a 4 ohm or 8 ohm cab?

That was a worthwhile in the mix comparison. I'm not a metal player per say but even so that outlined the differences and I can extrapolate from there. Thanks for sharing.

Yes been my experience to this point as well.

FWIW I kinda constructed my own reactive load, actually a modification to a TN Captor, adding a 2nd order stage to essentially what is a single order RL. Thru the rabbit hole dive I learned a bit about RLs and how they react to a tube power output. What you describe is in part what I ran into...

What are you using these days?

Welcome back!

Oooppps I need to correct a misprint in my previous post. It was 448s, not 440s in the inners sigh. So it should have read STR-441s GRYs in the outer sockets, STR-448 GRNs in the inner sockets. that aside... what I probably heard more was the difference between a new set of tubes and ones...

In my last round of amp GAS it came down to either a TC or a Badlander. Even though I know it's a cool amp... don't think much about the TC anymore.

Interested in More BAD?? :LOL: Tuned in again this week for @Doug Doppler stream hoping he'd be using that Badlander 50W combo. He did not disappoint. For those who like a GGDD aka Gear Geek Deep Dive Doug starts into the BAD details ~19:45 and it's dialed in even better then the previous...

FWIW... the TC50 sub forum has alot of related Triple Crown info. Plus This TC Thread has numerous comments that may be useful.

:love:

Just a data point. My V:90 also had a set of old STR-440 YELs and probably a safe bet they were the originals, at least 8 years old. There were no issues with them but on a tube rabbit hole dive fueled by some folks here :ROFLMAO: replaced them with new STR-441s GRYs in the outer sockets...

Folks I humbly retract the errant Greenback claim... it is actually a Creamback 65 they put in the BAD combo. My sincere apologies. Still sounds great though (y)

FWIW I did something similar... my IIC+ is non-simuclass and used the V:90 90W power section setting. It was pretty amazing and had the same take "brighter and just more alive"

I tend to think this article, written on the VII on its release, was probably on the Mark :LOL: so to speak. Anyway speculation will continue to swirl and Gibson would be smart to put out a statement. The Last Randall Smith Designed Amp?

If anyone is interested in hearing some live Badlander 50W tones check out @Doug Doppler latest stream at the link below. Instead of often post processed YT vids I find this to be a realistic presentation of a kick azz amp. I also liked that Greenback in the combo which isn't a typical Mesa...

It seems Mesa has gotten away from the master volume in their new Mark designs since the V:90. The V:25/35, JP2C and now the VII don't have it. Cost, less complexity I'd guess. Also there was complaint about tone suck on the V:90 related to the way the MV and the loop was implemented. BTW, I...
