    Review: Synergy 5050

    Too clean in a way that it's too much 'neutral'. Mesa has his own sound and sounds more 'guitar' but you have to like that sound also. Guitar poweramps do have their own sound, just like preamps.

    MarkUs closest Salvation alternative?

    That's a very interesting advice! Somehow I always overlook Orange because it looks too retro for me. My Mandarine module is very full sounding but also the only module that can handle clean to high gain. I am interested in the MarkUs or alternatives too. The tightness in my MarkIV is what I...

    review: AC Morgan vs MatchVox

    [fast forward] My uncensored thoughts: What a let down the AC Morgan... Identical A and B channels, no Top Boost channel B! No additional voicings and EQ like the MatchVox. I really don't understand the logic of making the AC. No added value at any point. It is even less in all ways. Even if...

    Van Halen I sound

    And what about the Friedman BE? Brown sound I guess?

    Review: Synergy 5050

    No, VHT is to clean for my taste but if I had to choose between the SYN5050 and a VHT (2:50:2/2:90:2) I would pick the latter. I guess if you don't appreciate the PS2 you also won't like the SYN5050.

    Review: Synergy 5050

    I owned twice the VHT 2:50:2 and once the 2:90:2. It maybe very well build but for my taste too clean and Hi-Fi sounding. The SYN5050 is also designed by Steve Fryette (VHT). I have not compared all poweramps the same time but from my memory the SYN5050 is a little more focused and 'middy' and...

    Mash-oldano or mash all+ ???

    To my ears the Randall Plexi beats the Egnater SL. But... the Salvation Duoplex/Rhoady beats the Randall Plexi. Masholdano is imo too modern for ACDC. Although it's my favourite module.

    ACDC=Duoplex/Rhoady Van Halen=Marshall+ ch 2/3 (chewy mids) (hot rod) JCM800=Masholdano

    What module sounds most like JCM800?

    I prefer Salvation Masholdano over Salvation Mash-All+ or any Randall and Egnater.

    A question about KT88's vs KT66's

    I don't think you should push KT88 into distortion! KT88 feel stiffer, cleaner, thicker lows, topped highend. Probably good if you use lots of preamp gain. 6L6 is more punch to me, smaller Q-factor of lows, cut thru highend. KT66 more bluesier, vibe, nice for clean and breakup. Amp design...

    New speaker for RM50: Vintage 30 or G12K-100 ????

    I like the crunch/grid/growl of the Celestion G12K100, but the low end is still not very tight when used in a 1x12 Thiele cab, althoug it's one of the tightest Celestion's on the market. As a long time EV200 user and V30 lover I was looking for a hybrid speaker. Mixing speakers in a 1x12 Thiele...

    Really thinking about a Matrix

    Interesting video from Fryette: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YhA7sR6OpcM On the other hand, does it make sense using a modelling preamp in conjuction with a tube poweramp... If you like the tubepoweramp dynamics/harmonics/feel why not a tube preamp also? Like to check the Matrix, but for now...

    Running 2 RM4's?

    I am using a Soundsculpture Switchblade. You program loops, just like any looper, BUT also use both preamps in series, parallel or even greater: panning both preamps to the left and right. For example: Salvation DReadplate Left // Salvation Mamba Right Salvation Masholdano ch1 left //...

    Best poweramp for RM4

    A European 1.2 liter bi-turbo engine is way faster than an average USA V8 engine. Cubic inches (read: quantity of powertubes) is not telling you everything. I guess in my case the RT2:50 is more efficient. I've tried El34, KT66, 6550 etc... b.t.w. I run my 2:100 exclusive in modern mode and I...
