Sorry I should have made that clearer. The 2nd degree was the one that I preferred more. The one I had was uncovered in a Les Paul and was absolutely awesome. The detroiter is great as well but I preferred the 2nd degree.
I’ve had motor city pickups 2nd degree black belt, detroiter, Seymour Duncan hybrid, BKP mule, fralin modern PAF, dimarzio fortitude and dimarzio 36th anniversary. The stand out was probably the fralin and the mcp, however the Duncan hybrid is awesome as well. There’s a lot of over lap with...
I have a friend that has a dual multiwatt that’s like this as well. We shot it out against my early revision g that had been modded to a revision C and the multiwatt was extremely fizzy and just lacking. Oddly enough I picked up a triple multiwatt on a great trade and compared it against my two...
The punch of an amp is something that’s hard to let go. I’ve had several amps that had a decent amount of punch with the best being a Splawn quickrod. It moved a ton of air and was amazing for that. The IIC+ reissue seems to have some of that punch, and way more than the VII, which I agree...
I can say honestly mine does not have that issue at all. The knobs have a smooth sweep and seem fine. I hope it holds up. I am not a huge fan of current CTS pots.
Ok, so to follow up my oscillation video, I dialed in some thrash tones and gave it a shot. Im not much of a player and this is basic AF, something I threw together this morning, but yeah plenty of gain without making it go into oscillation.
Yeah so that’s not a microphone tube. It is oscillation. The reason I posted the video is because people have been talking about it. The video you quoted was a reply video where I was asked to set it like that, specifically those settings. Maybe check out the one before it. Again the settings...
No guitar plugged in and nothing in the loop. It still does it with the guitar plugged in and the volume down on it. A video was posted on TGP where someone tried extreme settings on his original IIC+ and got it to oscillate so it seems to be normal. Also here is a response I just got from Mesa.
That’s where I’m at. Realistically you don’t need input 1, treble and gain on 10, that’s way too much. So it works and I love what I get out of it without pushing those settings to that point so I’m willing to live with it for sure. I do wish that it didn’t have the oscillation but unless Mesa...
