Hi
I am a Brit and bought one of the first Boogies in the UK in 1980. It has earned it's keep and consistantly been a real workhorse!
...The thing is, I've never been that impressed with the overdrive in normal gigging situations.
I once went into a studio for a session and the engineer and producer had been working with Motorhead and Saxon (whatever happened to them?) -I was messing on trying to get a good lead sound with the lead channel and pull switches and they were looking miserably on. One of them suggested putting it through a 4x12 cab and turning it full up on the "clean" channel. Oh my goodness- now the thing came to life! It sounded incredible, the problem was I had to use the cans for ear defenders! They could hear it through the sound-proofing in the control room!
Now, the question- does simul-class do the same thing at a lower volume and if so, is it possible to mod my pre-simulclass amp?
Thanks for any comments!
