I remember that you were using your standard buffered interface instead of the Shin Ei or the Secret Preamp. Is this version 1 one of the Third stone or the version with the 2 toggle switches? Is the Dumbloid a lot different than the Blues Power?

    Video we've been waiting for! I'm very inspired by your tones and playing. I've discovered alot of cool stuff I can't live w/out now thanks to you! As always, a few questions if you'll please...
    - How close is the Vibe 2 going to get me to the Vibe Bro? If the Vibe Bro is, idk, 20 or 30% better, I'd spring the extra $200 but if it's only 10% or less better, I'll save the real estate and get the smaller Vibe 2.
    - Speaker suggestions (i.e. current production); I like the tones I get from my lower wattage speakers (greenbacks for my JMP, alnico blues in my AC30HW) but would like a speaker that can give me more headroom (something that can handle the octave/granular/synth effects I use) without totally sacrificing the tones I get from the lower wattage speakers. Creamback? Something else? I'm not too crazy for V30's.
    Thanks as always! 🍻

    • @RACKDOCTOR
      @RACKDOCTOR  3 года назад +3

      The Vibe 2 and Vibe Bro are really close. Vibe Bro may be 10% better. You can't go wrong with either. THE CREAMBACK 75'S sound really nice while retaining the Greenback tone.

    Hi Dave, i love those Hendrix/Landau style double-stop hammer on's and just wondered which you thought was the best amp for doing just this specific thing? :) i'm trying to figure out weather the JTM45 or SLP plexi style tone is most suited to this . When i tried it on a voxac30 i got a flubby unmusical sound like the notes were clashing, then on a SLP plexi style tone it sounded sweet and musical. I'm not experienced with gear just having fun!

I've found on mine own that I needed to increase the modulation & decrease the gain to get it really dialed in to where I wanted. Each players tastes are different obviously, but just curious if you found the same. Thanks!
