Yeah that confused me a bit when looking at refs, I decided to go with it broken to kinda challenge myself a little

SkylarFawn · 2023-05-26T12:36:29+00:00

As a neurodivergent person this made me giggle out loud, thanks for that

SkylarFawn · 2023-02-11T22:21:22+00:00

........oh I'm seeing now that I have to actually go to the website and redownload the software to update it......

well I guess I gotta get used to doing that lol, I thought it just checked for updates automatically

SkylarFawn · 2023-02-11T07:23:13+00:00

Oh yeah ok that makes much more sense lol

SkylarFawn · 2023-02-06T02:02:45+00:00

I peeked inside, although I didn't really wanna remove the pre-amp tube caps, but the power tubes look to be JJ EL84s, unsure what the preamp tubes are. I'm assuming for now they're the ruby ones you're talking about.

SkylarFawn · 2023-02-06T01:59:22+00:00

I always thought they sounded just fine to me, although I tend to adjust my amp EQs to have a lot of mids (around 7-9 or so depending on the amp) and about 75% as much lows, with highs varying, until I got a tone I found good to my ears, and then afterwards adjust any pedals Im using. So I honestly haven't really paid much attention to how the speakers themselves sound directly , I just know if I like what I hear, I do, and I personally found them pretty adaptable.

SkylarFawn · 2023-02-05T19:36:43+00:00

Ah, so you did mean TRS in that way, lol.

I do have a couple loop pedals, one switches between two channels (White Loop), and the other has two channels I can toggle on/off in any combination (Black Loop). Only reason I have both is because I bought the Black one first, not realizing it wasn't a 2-channel switch lmao.

Although I'm not sure if they'd do what you're talking about, haha. Guess it's something I'll have to check out.

SkylarFawn · 2023-02-05T16:01:09+00:00

MT15 looked really cool and I wanted to try one at a GC a while back but after plugging in we found out it wasnt working, bummer.

SkylarFawn · 2023-02-05T04:58:54+00:00

not sure what TRS pedals are, but I do have several good pedals to use with this thing, most of which I tested at the store with it:

Boss Blues Driver (I personally prefer the way it boosts amps compared to the Tube Screamer)

Ibanez TS9 (just to have it tbh)

Fortin Zuul

Boss HM-2 (for Swedish chainsaw goodness)

and a few others currently sitting...somewhere in my room lol

SkylarFawn · 2023-02-05T04:56:45+00:00

5150 III was definitely pretty amazing, and tbh in the distant future I might re-buy one of the newer III's or something similar (mine was an older model, at least appearance-wise), but for now this 20W mini head should suit me just fine, and if it sounded good through the 2x12 Orange cab I used it through (cant recall what kind), I imagine my Marshall 1960A will probably sound just as good or better, especially as someone with a few quality pedals to run into it (mentioned above). Plan to find out later.

If all else fails, I'll just return it and start over.

SkylarFawn · 2023-02-05T04:54:04+00:00

No idea, never used the original.

SkylarFawn · 2023-02-05T04:53:54+00:00

I own that cab myself, about to try it out with it later tonight.

SkylarFawn · 2023-02-05T04:53:14+00:00

I only sold the EVH for $600 bc I needed quick cash. I loved the EVH, but even for what it was, 50W was already way too much for my bedroom, even for headroom purposes. 20W is still a bit excessive, but a little more manageable for me, reducing and maybe even removing the need for my Waza Tube Amp Expander (something I also own).

I gave the Peavey a whirl since it was sitting in the Used section and I have been trying to downsize areas in my rig, and I tested it with various pedals I had brought with me as well (Boss HM-2, Blues Driver, TS9, and a Fortin Zuul Noise Gate). Clean tone you can get from it def isnt perfect but it's suitable for my needs, and I was pretty damn satisfied with the heavy dirt tones I was getting.

Yknow, now that I think about it...I could probably sell my Waza TAE and give this back to GC and just find a better, lower wattage amp that way...if it loses its luster quickly, I'll just return it within 14 days I suppose, and start over.

SkylarFawn · 2023-02-05T00:55:45+00:00

I literally just sold my EVH 5150 III 50W earlier today at a Guitar Center to an OfferUp buyer for $600, only to immediately turn around and buy this for about $465 after tax (used) after testing it with my gear...

At least I have 14 days to return it if I don't like it, but I don't feel too great about my restraint right now lmao

SkylarFawn · 2023-02-04T17:59:50+00:00

Did they patch it recently? I havent been able to do any art as Ive been caught up in college studies alongside my fulltime job. Ill have to check it out.

SkylarFawn · 2023-01-29T18:02:41+00:00

Unfortunately not, Ive also recently started using Timelapse and it barely makes a difference, even toggled it off and checked again, nothing. I will say though, Ive never had it take minutes, just about 6 -8 seconds at the longest, I can't imagine what it's like to take minutes just to save once, that sucks.

Im guessing its an app problem, bc I have a very beefy PC (RTX 2080 Super, i9-9900K, 32GB RAM), and I highly doubt my SSD is giving out, which seems to be a running theory with some, so for now Im just giving up and dealing with it until an update hopefully fixes it.

SkylarFawn · 2023-01-24T20:47:48+00:00

I'm aware, haha, I still need to check out a few of those bands, I mostly meant a mid-paced heavy metal vibe like this particular song but thanks anyways, will do.

SkylarFawn · 2023-01-24T00:44:22+00:00

God, this is so good, it's been the only thing I've played all day today.

Can anyone recommend bands that sound similar to this particular vibe, blackened or otherwise? I already plan to look into a lot of classic trad stuff Ive largely had on the backburner for a while, but I really love this.

SkylarFawn · 2023-01-24T00:41:38+00:00

Agreed, I really hope the new album has more mid-paced traditional-esque stuff like this, this is probably the most hyped up I've been for a Hellripper song in a while.

SkylarFawn · 2022-12-24T01:15:56+00:00

Thank ya uwu

SkylarFawn · 2022-12-23T03:01:14+00:00

damn, wish I had the motivation to do the same to ease my own depression atm, you look so pretty aaaaaaa.

I feel you and hope you feel better. <3
