    If you run that amp through an open back cab with C90's, you'll thank me and possibly name your first born, or at least a small pet, after me for suggesting it. The amp was designed for flatter response speakers - C90s, not V30s. C90s suit the bottom end better and your tone will cut trough better. You won't get the full goodness out of it until you try it. The cab dimensions of the Fillmore cabs also help because the resonance isn''t as boomy on the low end. I didn't fully appreciate the difference until playing in a band mix. Really cuts through better with the right speaker & cab.

    Man, I thought the Vox MVX150 head sounded killer. This blew me away with it's clarity and openness. It's so expensive, but it would definitely last a long time. Is there any substitute for good tone? I want the Vox head, but maybe I should hold out and get the MB head. I have heard nothing but good things about their build quality, too. This demo gave me a lot to think about.

  • @00xanawolf00

    FANTASTIC playing! The tone is incredible. I'm hoping you list your pedals and if you use the effects loop or not, etc. But I have to say... I've never heard such a range of excellent tones from "just" any one amplifier; I was shocked when you said that you would now be using your pedals around the 10:22 mark! That alone sold me on this bad boy!
    I'm probably going to buy the combo version of this incredible amplifier. Though that stack sounds fantastic, too... Liked and subbed!

    How loud do you have to have this thing to actually get distortion? Can you have it at low volumes say for bedroom use and get it to break up and have good distortion or do you have to crank the master volume? Is this a stupid amp to buy if you were playing at home and that's it?

    Owned a Mark 2c back in the day, and that thing was a beast! Great amp, too loud! Sold it and have gone for more Vintage amps over the years. Initially thought this amp was just a dumbed down circuit, in a vintage “looking” amp, but with a traditional modern Boogie voice? Really nice to see Boogie offer a more vintage voiced amp. Seems really versatile and focused? You can get those looser in between low/mid gain sounds, as well as the hot rod classic rock high gain stuff...without getting too tight? You still get all the Boogie control over the tone shaping. Ultimately, this amps sound great! If I were playing out still, I would have to give it some serious thought 🤔 Fun the check it out on RUclips!

    • @RezaMatix
      @RezaMatix  6 лет назад +1

      I live and die thrash metal tones. So many great versions of that to go for. Check out my ENGL Powerball video, that was a great thrash tone, The ENGL Savage is WAY better , a vintage Marshall JCM800 Vertical input and a friedman Buxom Boost will take you there! it just depends which era of thrash. Im more from the old school and like the meaner tones personally. Im not one of those guys that likes to play Rectifiers for thrash, UNLESS its a Revision F 2 channel model with EL34's loaded in it.
      So many great choices, if you can find an ENGL Savage you will be RIGHT THERE, there is a Powerball 1 on guitar center used right now for CHEAP too. 45 day return policy there! try it!

Or are we hearing the entire combo as it is stock? Sorry, I'm just confused because you say it's just the HEAD when it looks clear in the video that you are micing the "head" with the "cabinet" all in one amp, thus a Combo. Thanks.
