OD100 without FX or drive pedals

[wilcey]

Mark, I also have a CA 100 + SE but it sounds nothing like this!. have you changed the standard valves in it?

modded it in any way?

[bailey12444]

I wish somebody make a video like this one about the pt100. great sound.

I want this amp so bad! There is no better! And I know sooner or later I will buy one, but where I live it costs about 5000$ and

thats all my savings!

[untoldguitarist]

Man that amp sounds killer and it would certainly be a nice addition to my Mako Mak2 Dorado.

Mark.. I really like the band Dream Theater and the tone that John Petrucci has blows me away. You have shown me how to get that tone that is so like JP's. Expensive but worth every penny. Thank you so much for sharing your musical thoughts and knowledge.. Many Thanks and very best wishes.. From Reese in the uk.

[samhillband]

That's very kind of you to say, Reese.

Thanks!

It's an MXR Wylde Overdrive

[plattnacke]

[Traxid]

can you do the demo without decimator rack pro and then with it so i can see a diference?

please do that test for me... i have a cae 3+ and mesa boogie 50/50 based custom made head and i'am considering to buy decimator rack pro... i have a problem when it comes to gain up the 6-7... there is a lot of noise... i hope that the decimator will help with that so please make that test...

thank you very much man!

[SpiralDivinity]

Man that's some extreme lows you got there! Looks like an awesome amp. Better start saving up for one!

Mark I run a 2x12 with my MOD 100 but I don't get the growl and bottom end I hear in your videos. How do you get that?

[samhillband]

I think it's a combination of active pickups and the great amps I have, especially the OD100se+

It may not look like it but I pick very aggressively and use my right palm to chunk the strungs alot :)

[markus506]

Sounds terrific, Mark. Btw, what cab and speaker combination do you use for this vid?

Mark

[samhillband]

It's a little Randall 2x12" with Celestion 70/80's. On stage I use two Mesa 4x12"s with Celstion V30's

Hey Mark. The blackouts you are using...are they the AHB-1 or AHB-2? you've inspired me to try them out. great playing and lot's of useful info in all your vids...thanks for sharing.

[samhillband]

AHB1, I love em!

Mark

[99voltsdotcom]

cool...ordering them today. I see there are no cd's for sale on your site. Listened to the mp3 covers but I'm sure lot's of us who like your playing would love to have some tunes of yours to purchase. is there anything floating around i don't know about?

[samhillband]

We will be working on a CD during the next 3 months or so...I'll be sure to post some stuff.

BTW...thanks for the kind words!!!

Mark

[99voltsdotcom]

great...i'll be on the lookout.

[ghostfly97]

whats up sam...well i love your rig..and the sound and ur chops...here are some vids of my rig..i was wondering what u think about my rig and what can i do to better it...thnks.

[samhillband]

You have a great grasp of FX and how to use them. I used a Digitech 2101 for a long time and really liked it. Of course you know how much I love the OD100se+. If you like your tone then don't change a thing! As guitarists we are always searching for better.

Your playing is great as well.

Mark

[ghostfly97]
