    Finally got my hands on a Plex

    ...and it's even better than I thought it would be. I picked up the guitar back in the 90's after hearing Eddie and to finally be plugged into something dishing up something along the lines of that sound I idolized back in highschool is wild. Dave hit a homerun with this amp. I dialed it in...

    anyone do the full time “club circuit”?

    What band are you in? (I'm in Bham also)

    Celestion G12K-100's are one of the best speakers around. Try to say I'm wrong.

    I've been using a pair of K100's in my splawn 4x12 for about 12 or so years with a pair of 100w scumback H75's. Best sounding 4x12 I've ever plugged into honestly. If I had to knock the K100's, I'd say they don't immediately come across as having a distinct character or voice the way a V30...

    Is there ONE amp that you could get by with as your single amp?

    For the last decade it was my custom built 50w Jubilee but once I got my Mark VII, it was game over. The amp can literally do everything I need without breaking a sweat. Cleans, blues, modern country, classic rock, 90's grunge, 2000's metal... And the best part is that unlike the Marks I've...

    Anyone have stage experience with the 112O tall oversized 1x12 cab?

    I found these guys too. Not sure if the port claims are legit or just marketing hype. https://barefacedaudio.com/collections/avd-guitar-cabs/products/reformer-112?variant=23404541050938

    Fryette ZMACS 4x4 Head Cab switcher

    Already got one of the OG 50's LOL. Great device but one more thing to hook up

    Frontline205 & GJgo test the IIC+ Reissue against the OG!

    It's a custom built 50w SLO by Bruce at Brit-Tone amplification. I gigged with a few different versions of it with various mods like the warren haynes mod, one with a linear taper gain control on the lead channel, a standard 100w and a 50w and I liked the non modded 50w version the best.

    PAFs and High Gain...

    I've had the Sheptone Brian Kahanek PAF's (alnico V) in my Tokai since about day 1 over 15 years ago and they've absolutely killed it for every style of music. I did a video years ago with numerous guitars and pickup types into my Mesa Studio preamp and Fryette PS50 and had an 80's thrash metal...

    Mesa Mark VII IIC vs JP2C High Gain

    They both sounded good to me ?‍♂️ I think the VII sounded a bit more full in the low end but not loose or overly compressed. JP sounded a bit tighter at the expense of some of that low end fullness but I assume that could be EQ'd back in. I'm hoping to get my hands on a Demo JP2C early next...

    Fryette ZMACS 4x4 Head Cab switcher

    Killer looking unit. The mixing and matching is pretty slick. Kinda bummed about needing an external load box though. Would have liked to have gotten something that's got a self-contained reactive load.

    ENGL E568 Steve Morse 20 watt, Yeah... I'll keep the 100 watt big boy

    In. I think this was an interesting one. It's a very low output (volume) amp compared to other lunchbox amps I've tried (JJ Jr, Bogner Atma, 20w baby plexi, etc) Just like the JJ Jr and baby Marshalls aren't going to dethrone their bigger brothers, this one isn't going to do the same for...

    Frontline205 & GJgo test the IIC+ Reissue against the OG!

    I run it through my splawn 4x12 at home and while it doesn't hit like my Nitro, it punches harder than my 50w Jubilee and SLO. I haven't felt like it was lacking in the ability to shake walls and move air. That said, I haven't gigged with a 4x12 in like a decade. I occasionally will take my...

    Frontline205 & GJgo test the IIC+ Reissue against the OG!

    Yeah man Mufasa is still here. I recently re-reviewed it on my channel after 16 years of owning it. Still the loudest and hardest hitting amp I've ever plugged into (louder than the 100w plexi I used to own)
  14. FastRedPonyCar

    Tell me about the Mark V...

    Yeah IIB mode is brighter than crunch and VII for sure. It can be tamed down and darkened up but it's just a brighter starting point than the other two and sits between crunch and VII in terms of gain amount. Really does come across as a less high gain IIC which makes sense I guess but MAN I...

    Anyone have stage experience with the 112O tall oversized 1x12 cab?

    I'm looking at getting an open back 1x12 to use on stage for a bit more of an open sound vs my mako 1x12 or larger 2x12 cabs. https://www.sweetwater.com/store/detail/BognerCab112o--bogner-112o-1x12-inch-tall-open-back-extension-cabinet This or perhaps the Zilla open back 112 is also on my...
