smurph1 Posted February 15, 2012 Posted February 15, 2012 Just wanted to give a public Thank You to Brian for the Fine Amp!! We were all set up in the living room of my little house last night, and when I hit the first chord, everybody's head turned towards the source of the sound..I was grinnin like a fox in a henhouse!!

Steiner Posted February 15, 2012 Posted February 15, 2012 Way to go Smurf1! Congrats on the new amp!!!
Guest HRB853370 Posted February 15, 2012 Posted February 15, 2012 hee hee hee Thats a devious chuckle.....
Guest HRB853370 Posted February 15, 2012 Posted February 15, 2012 I agree-he is da man. Now if I can just get one of his amps on order.....
schundog Posted February 15, 2012 Posted February 15, 2012 Congrats, Scott. Brian IS, indeed, THE man!!
Guest HRB853370 Posted February 15, 2012 Posted February 15, 2012 I am curious about what the tonal differences are between Shundog's 5E3 and Scott's Cavern Club, aside from one being 30w and the other being 18w. Guess we'll have to wait until August?

Guess we'll have to wait until August? Isn't a 5E3 a Fender type amp?. I could be wrong about that, but.The Cavern Club is a Vox clone..

Guess we'll have to wait until August? Lots of differences, but you have a Vox versus a Fender....

Guest HRB853370 Posted February 16, 2012 Posted February 16, 2012 Lots of differences, but you have a Vox versus a Fender.... How would you verbally describe VOX tone versus Fender Tone versus Marshall Tone using adjectives.
H Posted February 16, 2012 Posted February 16, 2012 How would you verbally describe VOX tone versus Fender Tone versus Marshall Tone using adjectives. Vox = chimey Fender = glassy I've never played a Marshall clean so no adjectives for that from me!
Guest HRB853370 Posted February 16, 2012 Posted February 16, 2012 Vox = chimey Fender = glassy I've never played a Marshall clean so no adjectives for that from me! But I heard a rumour they originated in the UK!
H Posted February 16, 2012 Posted February 16, 2012 But I heard a rumour they originated in the UK! I've played 'em dirty hundreds of times, just never played one clean
DetroitBlues Posted February 17, 2012 Posted February 17, 2012 How would you verbally describe VOX tone versus Fender Tone versus Marshall Tone using adjectives. Clapton, SRV, Hendrix
Trouble Posted February 17, 2012 Posted February 17, 2012 Clapton, SRV, Hendrix I'm not sure those qualify as Adjectives but pretty good description, but when did Clapton use a Vox? Used Marshalls early and Fenders later. Brian May used stacks of Ac 30's, but driven. A good recent example is Brad Paisley, he uses Dr Z amps but they are basically Vox circuits I think.
212Mavguy Posted February 17, 2012 Posted February 17, 2012 Paisley's "Z" amps are Trainwreck "Z-Wreck" clones. Completely diffrerent animal than Vox, Fender, Marshall. Trainwreck is a very simple circuit that demands to be built with extreme attention to details for it to work right...
smurph1 Posted February 17, 2012 Author Posted February 17, 2012 When i think of Vox I usually think George Harrison and John Lennon..That tone is all over the Beatles recordings..Especially Early on..More modern users are Peter Buck of REM and sometimes Tom Petty and Mike Campbell, but they use a lot of Fenders too..
smurph1 Posted February 17, 2012 Author Posted February 17, 2012 I think of Brian May. Yep..Great Tone!!

I once heard a story that the reason the Beatles played Vox was because they were under contract to, for a period of time.
