well i thought a sound clip would be worth a thousand words so i started up the clip thread. i'm fed up with my lousy mp3 host (2mhost) so i'll follow up on some suggestions being made.

 

i first got the combo, then upgraded to the half stack. this lets me put the cab into my iso box, and have control of the preamp on my desk.

 

i first looked at the little gibson 5 watt. the gibby has nice cleans but flabs out when you crank it. needs a pedal for gain. also 10" is a lot fuller sounding than 8". the amps are about the same size.

 

rick at truetone music santa monica set up the bad cat for me. i immediately noticed a lot more complex sound even in the cleans. rolling in the gain, i first thought it was going to head into a sleazy blues thing, which it did until i gave it more juice. i dimed it and started tripping because it reminded me so much of that little 18 watt marshall back in the early 70's. not a crushed gain but rather a spanking angus sort of tone.

 

i suppose i could (and probably will) try it out with a mullard and weber someday, but for now the groove tube (??) and jensen are just fine. i picked up the hot cake which gives me the identical full-drive sound at half-power.

 

thanks for inquiring about the amp. i really want you guys to hear it so bear with me here.

What's going on with your 2mHost? I've been super pleased with my service from them & have had at least one site with them for three years. All together, I have 3 sites with them and have extremely good uptime and no issues with downloads. I'm on their basic plan so the 50mb sometimes bites me in the ass but it's not often enough yet for me to change or upgrade.

 

Just curious Cereal, I'm not affiliated with them in any way other than being a satisfied customer.

Man, I love the looks of that amp, too! That rich dark blue covering is gorgeous... "r'r'rich, Co-r'rYNTH-ian leath-ah!" ;):D

 

Sounds like a Hell of a cool amp; what'd it run ya, if you don't mind my asking?
