New V2 in the house!

[Scooter]

So I went to my favorite Randall dealer today just to browse. They had a V2 hooked up to a 4x12, so I figured I'd give it a try.

OH MOMMY!

I probably shouldn't have, but I bought it on the spot (don't tell my wife :twisted: ). I was a tube snob, but no more.

Any chance of some clips soon Scooter? I'd like to hear it!

Hmmm...
Never posted clips before. I'll have to do some research!


But until then, these clips from Randall are pretty accurate:

High Gain w/EQ:

High Gain no EQ:

Based on these clips from the Randall site, it seems like the SS has as bit more snarl and low-mid chunk and the tube is more transparent and fizzier, but a little mushier low end. I want a 2nd ear opinion. How do you compare them?

The tube channel gets nastier (in a good way) gain than the SS in my opinion.

hi scooter

based on the 2 high gain clips i have to say i favour the 2nd without the eq much tighter less fizz more dirrect in your face rhytmn attack.so im kinda thinking how usefull is the eq on the v2 as maybe i should look at the t2 and use my mxr kfk eq through that .i dont need the extra channel but more interested in the overall tone anyways good clips thanks man.


wonder does the T2 sound more tube like warmer than the v2 cause that would make my decison easier?
