HaggertysMusic said:Guys, just to let you know, the man responsible for all our videography (Nate Haggerty) was in a motorcycle accident this morning. Someone pulled right out in front of him. Thankfully he is alive and does not appear to have suffered any brain or spinal injuries.
He's got some broken bones, and his face will have to be reconstructed, so he's got a long road ahead of him still, but he's alive and we are all so grateful for that.
Needless to say, I am uncertain as to the status of our videos for the immediate future.

jeffp said:i`m really curious about mid at high volume......mine unleashes mid to upper mids out of this world. And harsh mids at medium to high volume. on 50 watts....i think the same on 100 switch too.This is one of the problems. #2-Gain seems to have to be at 12;30-3PM or can`t mix the bass mid, and treble to satisfy.The gain is mooth. I like it, but amp seems to want it all or nothing.Still have it though. Waiting to hear from Haggerty music video! jeffp
jeffp said:More and more interesting! I think you`re right about the different cabs...What kind of speakers are in the Egnater 2 x 12 oversize cab? Strange I`m looking at an RA(going back to the dealer) 12' away in the box and my sons Bogner XTC classic 10' over in a box. It`s for sale.jeffp
DWAKO said:This amp intrigues me, based on the clips it has a very "Rockverb meets Bogner meets Mesa" vibe which sounds like a powerful trifecta of tone to me. I like the higher pitched/tighter low end, my only question is how well does it retain note definition when you really dig into a chord? My band recently track out newest EP and I used a Fryette Pittbull running a line out into a cab sim in logic and it had a kind of "Mesa meets Marshall" sound and it retained great note definition. The predominant mids don't bother me as long as it has plently of head room and is not "buzzy" like my Dyne's mids can get with the volume pushed. I'm waiting for my local guitar center to get one so I can bring my Dyne in and A/B the two. Also the Haggerty's video will help provide a distinction. I agree the Electra Dyne is more organic but I imagine the sound I am trying to achieve is very different from most on this forum, I'm more in the progressive/hard rock territory versus more classic rock, so the more aggressive clips are what I'm after.
Dude, I am into more ambient progressive stuff, so I know where you are coming from. Dynamics are important to me as well, hence why most of my amps on my short list were EL84 based boutiques. I need something with enough clean chime to cut, and enough gain to sound crisp and harmonically rich. What is great about the RA is that the blue channel is all of these things, and in a mix, I think it is plenty hard enough for most hard rock. The red channel though really seals the deal in that it gives you more sustain and gain if you want even more of a compressed gain sound.
I'd say check it out, and focus on setting your cleans and your blue channel up accordingly. Be sure to not use a Recto cab and try to find something that is ported or somewhat of an open-back style cab. The mix of C90s and V30s is also nice. If you like the Dyne and find the gain on that amp to be organic and more on par with what you are looking for, I think you'll be pleased with what you get out of the RA. For me, the RA is a bit like Divided By 13 FTR 31, but with more balls and a more hybrid EL34/84 crunch to it (blue channel).
