obladie « Great, but he pushes forward »
Published on 06/09/11 at 02:25100W all-tube amp head, 5 * ECC83 in preamp and 4 * 6550 + power + the awesome power Scalling AutoBias + presence, bass, medium, trebble, and master gain.
UTILIZATION
In # 34, very bright at first, not easy to solve.
In AFD, super simple, you plug, play and it was bananas!
Manuel succinct but sufficient.
SOUNDS
I play in a group of "big rock" trend metal (like Tool).
I play an Epiphone AFD, an Ibanez RGR (mic Di Marzio), a PRS PAul Alenda (mic EMG 81 & 85), and a strat Japan 85.
# 34: Great LP of AFD and Ibanez RGR, too much metal on the PRS, super hot on the stratum.
AFD: TB anywhere, especially with the Ibanez RGR which severely pummeled in this mode.
PAr cons, in # 34 I was really far too aggressive treble, the sudden I just played with the lights preamp, and here are my tests:
Origin: JJ ECC83 V1 and V2-V5 silver Chinese dragon.
Trial 1: V1 Tungsol ECC83, ECC83 JJ V2, V3-V5 origin: much less acute but its too flat, more dynamic. AFD too fat.
Test 2: V1 JJ ECC83 Gold JJ ECC83 V2, V3-V5 Origin: The super hot, beautiful clear sound compression and great warmth and harmonics. But lack of attack, less through the mix ... AFD chouille still fat.
Test 3 (I kept): JJ ECC83 V1, V2 JJ ECC83 Gold V3-V5 origin: a little less acute than the original, super dynamic compression friendly but not too strong, beautiful shine and mix through without PB. And AFD Boxing
)
My favorite settings: presence at 5, 8 bass, middle at 6, treble at 4, master at 10, gain 6.
There's less of Scalling power, the more it hits and that's the foot!
I play on the cabinet of my mesa express 5:50.
OVERALL OPINION
I use it for 2 weeks, repeated in a big sound on a 1960A that I found a chouille dug too. I wait a 1936V ordered last week, I think with the V30's going to do it well.
I have a mesa express 5:50: modern, super clear sound and full, a little crunch rappeu
I have a class5: great, but a killer when you have the beautiful sound (master / gain to 8).
I love the sound of the crunch in AFD100 / saturation: very vocal and expressive, super responsive in helping pick is really zicos and scratches that make the sound. More singing the mesa, over the body and the dynamic class5. AFD is very responsive to adjustments scratches (tone and volume). On an LP, it has two direct channels of mic from low to high, if you have a volume 2 and the other 10
))
I can already do without, it is mesmerizing and I play with every night!
