    Talk me into / out of blind buying a Wizard halfstack

    Yes, and the Bogner Uber Ultra is readily available... Going to try that for sure. Edit: I´m quite sure the UL going to be released in January as Steve Fryette said it´s done and they made a video with some well known player (forgot who exactly) that will be released in January.

    Talk me into / out of blind buying a Wizard halfstack

    Thanks everybody. I made up my mind. I have found a few clips that were not at all convincing - and it could be very well that the amp was great in the room and it just didn´t come across... But it made me decide that it´s just too much money. Depending on how much the new Ultralead is going to...

    Talk me into / out of blind buying a Wizard halfstack

    I just took another look at the pictures of the cabs, and the 4x12 looks similar to the Bogner Ubercab I had. There can of course be differences in construction, does anybody know more?

    Talk me into / out of blind buying a Wizard halfstack

    Which amps sounded like it? They are for sure absurdly expensive, so I want to make sure I´m happy if I purchase one.

    Talk me into / out of blind buying a Wizard halfstack

    Wow, thank you all so much!! OK sounds like I absolutely need a Wizard in my life :D Can anybody give me a rundown on the models? The website doesn´t help much in describing the differences and what each model does best. I´d like to have at least a bit of flexibility, but I´m definately a high...

    Talk me into / out of blind buying a Wizard halfstack

    I always loved the clips of Wizard amps. However, there aren´t many in Europe and there will probably never be an opportunity for me to try one in person prior to purchase. So I´ve been thinking about whether or not to purchase one blind, maybe even a halfstack to complete the look. They are of...

    Please recommend a new high gain amp for me

    Considering your username and picture, why no Larry or Lenz? Never played either one, just curious…

    Please recommend a new high gain amp for me

    Thanks for the recommendations so far! As far as clips go, those are some tones I really enjoy:

    Please recommend a new high gain amp for me

    Never tried a Peavey 5150, but had an Ecstasy in the past. The Pandora sure sounds great! Would prefer to keep it at 3k used or new, but I guess I´d spend more if it really wowed me. No preference on 50 or 100 watts, loop or output tubes.

    Please recommend a new high gain amp for me

    Sold off my last amp a while ago and want something new. I had a lot of different amps from different brands over the years but my taste has also changed a lot so I feel I only know now what I want. One thing I never had was some sort of (modded) Marshall. The amp should be very articulate and...

    VHT GP3 preamp vs. Synergy Fryette modules

    Isn´t the 2/90/2 the "new" version of the 2150? I thought Steven Fryette said that it only varies slightly but sounds more or less the same?

    VHT GP3 preamp vs. Synergy Fryette modules

    Hey, thanks for all your replies :) To be honest, I was also wondering about the 2/90/2 as I miss my UL terribly and can‘t find another one where I live. All of the Fryette stuff is extremely rare in Europe… Ok I guess the GP3 is worth finding. Any input on the 2/50/2 vs. 2/90/2 at low...

    VHT GP3 preamp vs. Synergy Fryette modules

    Has anybody had the two and can compare? The GP3 is the preamp section of the Ultralead with separate channels, so I wonder how it compares to a Synergy preamp with an Ultralead module?

    I want a Fryette Ultralead, but can´t find one - what´s the best alternative?

    Thanks guys! What I liked most about the UL is that very tight feeling with an immediate attack and feel, so I don´t need all three channels. It also had a very "focused" feel to it. So I guess I just have to wait. I was told that currently the UL is unavailable as there will be a new version...

    I want a Fryette Ultralead, but can´t find one - what´s the best alternative?

    Had one years ago, sold it, regretted it ever since. They are extremely rare and almost impossible to find where I live and aren´t currently in production. What´s the best alternative? Maybe the Synergy module? How close will it get me and is the Ultralead module very sensitive to the poweramp used?

    Please explain the Fryette / VHT amp models to me

    I had an Ultra-Lead several years back and have regretted selling it ever since. I have not found a lead tone and feel like that ever since. Very precise, tight, just glorious. They are extremely rare where I live so I wondered what could come close. There are models like Hundred/CL, Fifty/CL or...

    Is there a "boutique version" of the EVH 5150III?

    I know I´m late to the party, but I played an EVH 5150 III for the first time recently. It´s a very cool amp and I LOVED its tone, however it was a bit noisy. Plus it does have quite a few features and is quite reasonably priced, so I´m wondering how well they´re really made? Build quality is...

    Soldano SLO vs. X99 preamp

    So I´ve had an SLO for over 10 years and it is one of the best lead amps out there. I´m currently using it slaved as a preamp only with its signal going through a stereo rack into two cabs. I´ve been thinking about adding an X99 preamp to have more different tones available (and storable)...
