fab72 « A delight »
Published on 10/29/10 at 23:01all-tube amp, there's no need to add anything else, technically speaking
the Dual Caliber was channel 1 and 3 of the mark IV of its time with EQ on/off
UTILIZATION
Its sound is versatile, but also complex to dial in
After 15 years I am still looking for sounds, I fiddle with it all the time, but it's easy to get it sounding
comprehensive manual that right away informs you that it won't be easy to find THE sound
SOUNDS
it's almost a 4-channel amp with the EQ on/off
and, as any good tube amp, the sound varies depending on the color of the guitar and the settings
Since I play with an LP equipped with switchable EMG P90s, the sound changes radically depending on the settings of my guitar.
OVERALL OPINION
It's been 15 years already. I haven't played much with a band. I became a dad soon afterward, so I played at low volumes, but the tubes are still awesome and the sound is definitely there!!
The best is the the sound palette and the EQ, which makes it virtually a 4-channel amp
What I like the least is the 3-switch footswitch to turn on/off the 3 settings available (channel, EQ, reverb)
Other than that, it's a MESA — that about says it all
