@MetalTCG Check out the Pt.1 vid, I think I said it there. Its been so long, I honestly don't remember. I wanna say it was a regular Recto cab. Might have been a Traditional though.
Do you think this amp could emulate tones of these bands? Scar Symmetry, Between the Buried and Me, Protest The Hero, Killswitch Engage, and Darkest Hour? Thanks.
Siral, you'll be pleased to hear that he was keeping the gaina fair bit back here, by the sounds of it.. It might have been to prevent feedback. It goes to ridiculous levels of gain on channel 3. Especially on extreme mode.
I was expecting more gain, was he tapped out on the gain knob? Though I like the crisper attack, I tested a dual rectifier and it was just too thick and muddy/sludgy for me.
@siral000 You can tighten up a rectifier with a Tubescreamer and you can squeeze more gain with tubescreamer. Yeah pretty much all things an amp lacks can be fixed with a Tubescreamer.
My first thoughts on this amp were great cleans for Mesa and that creamy vintage distortion, but not suitable for metal....I'm slightly being swayed to thinking it is great for a metal sound some of us are after, especially since Im not into that nu metal and ultra saturated tone that many bands use today.
i'm so glad that you're so tight on your rhythm sections, it gives a great example of the accuracy of the amp. Great video, and thanks for sharing your talents with us!!!
LMAO, the expressions when you played Dokken (32s-35s) were hilarious, can just imagine you screaming out "YEAHHH!!!", hahaha so awesome, I'd be having that much fun too if I were playing on an amp like that
@darkfirevs I'm always having that much fun when I'm playing guitar. You should see my videos of me on stage with my band. I'm in a thrash metal band, and I'm always smiling! lol
Great demo, thanks for that! Really proves the downtuned metal potential of this amp - because we all know it is stellar at everything else, but this proves that this amp can do anything!!
@headbagger63 Its effectively a power soak type deal.
It runs the amp harder like a dummy load kinda thing and makes the power stage work harder leading to awesome gain at lower vol. Have you played a Marshall Valvestate? its the same type of principle/result as the "Power dimension" button they used to have...
@regor5150 dude sick tone absolutely sick im picking 1 of these up in a week i just hope it will sound ok through the old marshall 1960a cab what cab were u using
Awesome metal demo dude! It's too bad that you could only record with a camera mic, which I'm sure does this amp no justice at all. I ordered my Mark V a few weeks ago and can't wait to get her and break her in.
sold a diezel vh4 for the mark v
this amp shits on the diezel
