I'll say from experience that the MV amps aren't half bad. I had a '74 Twin with an MV and it sounded pretty much amazing. Then I got drunk and knocked it over while it was on, and the power transformer shit the bed. I then traded it for an Ovation acoustic.


But I still have another MV Twin... an early 90's model with the stupid push-pull MV that doesn't do anything except scoop the mids a bit.

I e-mailed the guy to confirm whether it's MV or non. With Fenders of that vintage we're talking a fairly significant difference in the power section and cleanliness re: master or non.. Less wattage and dirtier for the NMV ones(!), which is what I want. If it's NMV, I'm all over that. Chris still has the speakers out of his that were replaced with THDs; I could probably get one from him that wasn't all bollocksed up. Even still, what's a decent 10" cost anyhoo, y'know?

I'm also a clean type of guy, which is important to note.

Though, that is really starting to change to a slightly-broken up clean when I play the Vox NT. The only thing is the Mastotron seems to like a cleaner tone to get the big massive sound, and slightly OD tones for the amp-about-to-explode sound

Luckily, my new and soon-to-be-coming home Titan should (based on clips of the Cerberus) a really fucking solid clean channel so I should have a few options

Silverface Fender?!

I'm with Tron on this. I enjoy loud cleans.

I plan on owning at least one more SF Fender in my life. Probably a Twin.

That's the one.

I likes the edge-of-breakup. Even with Blackface innards it's still cleaner than my AC30, and honestly a bit more manageable. The AC30 is louder, having played it alongside a '73 NMV Super repeatedly, recording, gigging and rehearsing.

NO CLEANS FOR YOU!

A dimed 18w Dr. Z is cleaner than my clean tone. I am not kidding.

If I don't get the Super, some of my gear money is going to a Big Muff, because a guy in my vague general neighborhood is selling one for fifty bucks. Hell, I'll probably buy it anyhow if he still has it.

Snaxie, you should buy this purple G&L Legend.

Ah I don't know if it's worth it. Band looks like a bunch of bullshit lately. We're approaching our -gasp- first gig and the drama is already in excess.

Bassist linked me this...


Cheesy, but goddamn are those tones ever fucking epic. Also, is that our Joey on vox?

Four more shows cumming up in the next month. If anyone knows who Sister Sin is- I don't; they're from Sweden I think?- we are opening for them.

I think I have heard of them... somewhere...

I really need to start band searching again

From now on I am no longer going to reference an "industry standard PANTONE formula matching guide" to ensure color accuracy. Fuck that. I'm gonna use one I made myself at home (Crayola Yellow is a proper color!) or one I get from some guy selling them out of the back of a van.

Fucking right. The Crayola colors are wildly under-represented in the Pantone charts also.

Crayola Midnight Blue, anyone?!!

W T F .

I hate fighting those hangovers that last ALL day.

A fat cheeseburger should help the situation.
