I've had a shot of 25 watts it's mega!. My wife was out so wanted to crank it more for the clips but the phone couldn't handle it and sounded shit ( the recording not the amp). Oh and did i mention it has a headphone jack as well?, so late night playing is possible if you wish. How they have fitted some much into such a relatively small head amazes me, incredible engineering. Mesa's "features:price" ratio has always been great, especially compared to the other big manufacturers. And I believe all of their amps are still USA made. I haven't seen a Mark V under the hood, but DR's look almost like computers. Edited August 20, 2017 by OmarBradley 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bumble's Bridge Pickup Posted August 20, 2017 Share Posted August 20, 2017 That's awesome. Shame that I have no justification for another tube amp... should join a band I guess Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
James Bond Posted August 20, 2017 Share Posted August 20, 2017 9 hours ago, OmarBradley said: Sounds good, definitely hear the "Mark" tone. 10 watts is still pretty loud for a bedroom! Pics, clips! No clips yet but together they are masterful - believe me. That said, I will probably swap the pickups down the line. 498T/490R combo which sounds good, but my taste/preference is lower output pickups. A set of Pearly's would elevate this guitar past the stratosphere for me. As soon as I picked it up I knew it was the right choice. I guess at that point it was a little late to buy back the gear I sold anyways. Gibson as whole might be hit and miss these days, but the Custom Shop still has the goods if this guitar is any indicator. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OmarBradley Posted August 28, 2017 Share Posted August 28, 2017 I have a short clip of my newest amp. It's actually the second Ceriatone King Kong I've owned. I regretted selling the first one, and a good deal came up for another one a few weeks ago. They're basically supposed to be Cameron CCV clones (because Mark Cameron doesn't make them anymore and only 50-60 exist in totality). In this clip, it still has the stock Chinese/Sovtek 12AX7s in it. Still gotta put my NOS glass in at some point. But I thought it still sounded pretty good even with those sub-par tubes. A bit of the clean channel, and then the gain channel on the middle-clipping setting. Cab is a Marshall 425A with G12Cs, and guitar is an LP custom.

It's out of commission at the moment, a fuse blew and I stripped the holder pretty bad when I tried to get it out. So I took a hammer to the assembly in an effort to knock it out of the socket in the chassis - but that also knocked the mains fuse holder out of it's socket. It needs a trip to the tech when I get a chance. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OmarBradley Posted October 26, 2017 Share Posted October 26, 2017 It's criminal that this thread/board hasn't seen a post nearly all month! I am possibly getting a 2x12 cabinet. Mojotone with a Creamback 75 and H30 in it. It's the right price, but I'd need to switch out the H30 for another Creamback or V30 since my heads are 100 watters. And Mr. Bond, let's hear that SG! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure what's going on elsewhere; I really only check the gear and video games section. I can't imagine the GNR section is at all riveting, and the last General Discussion thread I looked at had its last 3 pages completely off topic between 4 Britons arguing about who-knows-what. 2 hours ago, AslatIE said: It's funny how fresh strings give me so much creative inspiration and motivation A new set of strings always feels great. What are you using? I've been on the EB Cobalt 11s for about 3-4 years. Tried M-Steel, didn't notice anything special. Haven't tried the Paradigms yet. And I think I'm leaning on not getting that 2x12 cab. I just don't need it right now, and a decent deal can pretty easily be found if I do end up having a need for one.

ZoSoRose Posted November 17, 2017 Share Posted November 17, 2017 Lovepedal had a 50% off sale and they had a kick ass looking Purple Plexi with a built in 15db boost. You can use both sides of the box independently, too. I just couldn't resist picking that up! Can't wait until it comes in 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OmarBradley Posted November 18, 2017 Share Posted November 18, 2017 Sounds cool. Boosts and ODs are the only pedals I really get into. 15dB will be a nice push. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
