:oilpit: Posted October 12, 2009 Share Posted October 12, 2009 Didn't love the sound, but Paul can make anything sound horrible... So I'll reserve my judgment... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thermionik Posted October 13, 2009 Share Posted October 13, 2009 . . Tried one a year or so back - put it this way:- It did NOT make me want to part with my '62 6G6-A Bassman..... It took a 70's Traynor YGL-3 Mk.III to do that (the Basman is now in the hands of a Czech rocker). . . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RichCI Posted October 13, 2009 Share Posted October 13, 2009 Out of the like 5 seconds of crunchy chords that guy played, I have to give it a thumbs down. What I hate about gear review videos/sound clips is that it's so easy to get a decent crunchy lead tone that that's what they focus on. Screw that - I want to hear how big, fat open cowboy chords and palm muted power chords sound when the amp is jacked up. If it can't handle chords, it's not worth a dime.

Twiz Posted October 13, 2009 Share Posted October 13, 2009 Hmmm. I haven't got a chance to hear one yet, but I'm definitely digging the design. I really think the 25/50 Watt switch is cool. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Regular people don't try out gear that way, they play songs they know, or songs they wrote to see if it sounds good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tim Plains Posted October 13, 2009 Share Posted October 13, 2009 Too much treble. I don't know if it's the guitar he's using or maybe because Paul can make anything sound horrible... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AXE® Posted October 13, 2009 Author Share Posted October 13, 2009 You can't get an accurate assessment of tonal qualities from a Youtube clip. But I'm gonna be checking some out.:D/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dub-T-123 Posted October 13, 2009 Share Posted October 13, 2009 I love how everyone hates it and DAS likes it. Well... Not everyone. I didn't watch the video but I will definately give it a shot if I see it in stores. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AXE® Posted October 13, 2009 Author Share Posted October 13, 2009 I just talked to a guy who gigged one. Said it worked good. With a minor upgrade I think it may be a fairly good all around head. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But I'm gonna be checking some out.=D>/ No, not as far as frequency response is concerned but you can still get a good idea of what it's overdrive characteristics are like. Listening to that clip, even though the reviewer is leaning on upper mids, the lower notes sound fuzzy and lack definition. IMO, anyway. But, checking it out in person is still the best assessment.

djroge1 Posted October 13, 2009 Share Posted October 13, 2009 This must have been developed in connection with Peavey moving to China next door to epiphone... Me thinks Murph is over there now as a consultant for Peavey. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Twiz Posted October 14, 2009 Share Posted October 14, 2009 I called around, and I couldn't find any shops around here that have these amps. I guess maybe they're too new? A buddy of mine is looking to get a new amp, I'm going to recommend he check this one out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
G u e s t Posted October 14, 2009 Share Posted October 14, 2009 . . New ??? First saw one back in Late 2006 in time for the Christmas market, first played one in late 2007, 'tain't new by any standards..... and kinda weedy sounding too. Soldano had some input into the design - might explain the sound! . . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AXE® Posted October 14, 2009 Author Share Posted October 14, 2009 The video was shot in December of 06... They've made some minor changes in design since. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Twiz Posted October 14, 2009 Share Posted October 14, 2009 2006?!? Crap. How'd I miss that? I guess our shops just haven't got the amps in yet... We have a saying here in Pgh: "If you ever find out the world is going to end, move to Pittsburgh, because you'll have at least another 5 years."
