    I also had a Badlander combo for a few months and this is a super accurate sounding demo - excellent job, as always. My problem with the Badlander was that it was ALWAYS tight. Sometimes I wanted a bit looser sound and it just wouldn’t really do that. But if you want it to do a good tight rock or metal sound, it’s got it! And it’s got really good cleans, which I was also very surprised about.

    • @johnnyromero3336
      @johnnyromero3336 2 года назад +2

      I had a 100 Watt Badlander and I agree it was "Always" tight , I could not get that sag I wanted sometimes no matter how low of gain or how I dialed it in, that was my only complaint about this amp, and lack of a better foot switch with more options, C'mon Mesa a single button channel selector switch.

      In the market for a new amp to play around with and I've been looking at this amp. You articulated exactly how I feel about it. I prefer a bit more roar and grind out of my metal tones. This does sound quite nice though. Great clarity in the tones. It pretty much nails the 2000s New Wave of American Heavy Metal sound.
      I dunno, might still buy it. It's a nice amp for sure.

      As someone who worked in live sound for close to a decade, it's worth noting that 90% of guitarists have no idea how to dial in an amp. So take what's said online about various amps with a huge grain of salt. Most of them are just parroting what they read elsewhere.

    You should capture your cab/mic combo into an IR. They're awesome and consistently sound great in all your videos. Would love to test them out with my set up.
    The IRs in the Boogie are really bad in comparison. Perhaps load it up in the Boogie and do an A/B video? Then again, comparison videos get super complicated thanks to the variation in impedence curves between different load boxes. Would still be interesting imo.
