Guest HRB853370 Posted February 22, 2012 Posted February 22, 2012 I agree, some amps just sound too sterile being so clean... Thats why I like my DRRI, it plays cleanly until you get it cranked to around 7, before saturation starts. I won't need any fx boxes with the Tweed.
koula901 Posted February 22, 2012 Posted February 22, 2012 so, do ya love it more than your blackstar ht 5?
DetroitBlues Posted February 22, 2012 Posted February 22, 2012 Thats why I like my DRRI, it plays cleanly until you get it cranked to around 7, before saturation starts. I won't need any fx boxes with the Tweed. Reverb is a must for me... The Tweed takes pedals really, really well.
Hfan Posted February 22, 2012 Posted February 22, 2012 Congrat Wil, like the colors you picked too. Dibs, that would match my Reverb deluxe perfectly.
Guest HRB853370 Posted February 22, 2012 Posted February 22, 2012 so, do ya love it more than your blackstar ht 5? I never really liked that Blackstar to begin with. So the answer is an overwhelming yes. Congrat Wil, like the colors you picked too. Dibs, that would match my Reverb deluxe perfectly. Sure dibs it is. Is your Reverb Deluxe a KBP amp?

Yepper, hence the reversed moniker. When Brian told me to pick a grill cloth and cabinet covering from Mojo, I went with the colors on yours, Oxblood grill and Tweed cabinet correct? here is a pic from PSP, prior to its trial by fire.
Hfan Posted February 22, 2012 Posted February 22, 2012 damn, just noticed someones butt got into the shot, unintentional I assure you...
rjsanders Posted February 22, 2012 Posted February 22, 2012 i typically love all amps that go to "12". this one goes to "24"! most xlnt

That amp got a ton of play at PSP. So many people were plugged into it. It held its own and sounded great!
koula901 Posted February 22, 2012 Posted February 22, 2012 Tell us about the two channels, Slammer. Can u set one to clean and the other dirty?
Guest HRB853370 Posted February 22, 2012 Posted February 22, 2012 Tell us about the two channels, Slammer. Can u set one to clean and the other dirty? Channel one is the overdriven one, and channel two is the cleaner one, or it takes more to saturate the amp. There is no switch so you have to unplug from one channel on the amp and plug in the other one. No big deal!

No big deal! or you could get a couple cables & a simple A/B switch...can be pretty neat with using guitar vol to switch between chunky cleanish rhythms and singing solo stuff...

fxdx99 Posted February 22, 2012 Posted February 22, 2012 I use this aby box for dual amp, 5e3, and/or reinhardt 18 (another 2 channel amp). Might be overkill, http://lehle.com/frameset.php?country=us&lang=en Haven't tried this one, but considered it when shopping (less expensive) http://whirlwindusa.com/catalog/black-boxes-effects-and-dis/miclineinst-switchers/selector-multiselector-instrument-switch
rjsanders Posted February 22, 2012 Posted February 22, 2012 Send me a link RJ, if you know of any good ones. i've got a couple: Pacific Pedals A/B/C/Y pedal, but it's pretty much unobtainium now (great, if you find one) and today used this w/my Showman head: http://www.sweetwate...CFakbQgodeDySQg

pressure Posted February 23, 2012 Posted February 23, 2012 I don't see a standby switch unless the switch marked ground is the standby switch.
kbp810 Posted February 23, 2012 Posted February 23, 2012 I don't see a standby switch unless the switch marked ground is the standby switch. Yeah, the ground labeled switch is wired as a standby. The need/use for the "ground" switch is obsolete now... some of the re-production chassi have it labeled as standby, but others still have it marked as ground like the original.
Trouble Posted February 23, 2012 Posted February 23, 2012 Hope to see my KBP tommorrow, congrats Slammer!
Guest HRB853370 Posted February 23, 2012 Posted February 23, 2012 Hope to see my KBP tommorrow, congrats Slammer! Wow, that was a fast build Trouble!

There is no switch so you have to unplug from one channel on the amp and plug in the other one. No big deal! Sounds like you need an A/B Switch. Or even cooler if you had an A/B/Y! You could use either channel or both at the same time!
Bulldog Posted February 23, 2012 Posted February 23, 2012 Simply WOW! Beautiful. I hope you break it in before PSP.
FredZepp Posted February 23, 2012 Posted February 23, 2012 Hey... I just noticed that I missed this thread... congrats on the amp. I love the combination of chickenheads, tweed, and that leather handle.... that adds up to a good time with a warm amp.

Yes i do DB, and a couple people recommended different brands. Sweetwater sells a Morley for $55. What is the difference between AB and ABY? Simply WOW! Beautiful. I hope you break it in before PSP. Thank you Bulldog, she even sounds better than she look! Yes, I plan to bring it to PSP4! Hey... I just noticed that I missed this thread... congrats on the amp. I love the combination of chickenheads, tweed, and that leather handle.... that adds up to a good time with a warm amp. Thanks Fredzep, man these are everything they are supposed to be!! Now if I only was able to keep one, this one would be it!
