| Not to flame, b/c everybody has their preferences... but I just don't get things like the Dual Rectifier, and the new Marshalls, etc...
If I want the sound of diode clipping, I would rather get it from a fuzzbox than have it built into the amp. To me, it is a useless feature....
The distortion I like comes from running tubes past their linear range, and/or overloading speakers... just about every other type of distortion has this "fizz" to it- and that could be perfect- but I don't see why it needs to be built into the amp.
For "heavier" amps, I have to say that I still really like the Soldano.... I like the eq being post gain stage- it's "tighter" sounding, for that kind of thing. |
