I am very happy to finally see some new amps that are good. Ronin’s would be more up the tgp guy’s alley being more classic rock/bluesy amps, but they’re amazing. The P88 model is a high gainer guys here would like, but that model isn’t known by many (only 3 have been made so far I believe)
I bet one of those three you definitely own, right? ?
To you and @braintheory : How are the Transformers built? Do they have the same thin sheet metal caps, that bent like crazy, like in the Helios?
I understand himSuper awesome purchase I'm sure it's cool but man, I do have to take it with a grain of salt from someone who thinks the UU wasn't a great amp, Let alone one of the best modern high gain amps available today.
I don't. I mean I'm a one trick pony, all the gain and saturation you can imagine type of guy but that UU is hands down the absolute best amp I've ever played for that. Makes the Fortin Cali look like a cracker jack toy. I just can't understand how others cannot agree but to each their own.I understand him
It might have something to do with yours being a 6L6 Version...
thats what mine is too
Yeah they're pretty sweet. Always a fan of the one red knob as well. Helps for dark gigging or whatever.I just want to know where Reinhhold found the cool knobs?
Congrats on the new amp!
I don’t see how just 6L6’s from the EL34 version I had could magically fix the cardboard-y filtered quality it had and disconnected feel. If anything I feel like I’d like 6L6’s less in it, but who knows
I agree on Fortin, but that’s not a very high bar lol. I agree the cleans were among the best I’ve heard in a high gain. If it weren’t for that super filtered/clinical/cardboard-y quality it had across the board on every mode and setting I probably would’ve loved it. In some ways that may be subtle, but once I heard it I couldn’t unhear it and the feel was too disconnected (opposite of say a iic+ or Rev 1 Uber). It took away my enjoyment from what I think otherwise could’ve been a great amp. Would it kill the amp to have at least an ounce of richness or warmth to it? Even the Hermansson’s have a little bit of that, while also being tighter and sharper, but I digress
I don't know. The Clips of him with his 6L6 UU have another quality to them. They have different Transformers as well. But it's just a wild guess based on Phone-Clips from the Interweb.
Yeah I’m sure there are differences and maybe I’d prefer some things about it, but I doubt it would fix the qualities I didn’t care for in the EL34 version I had
Are these built to order or backordered? Haven't looked at sweetwater or anything.
Back ordered as far as I know. I got mine through SW…they had 3 coming in December which are spoken for and then I’m up next in Feb
Great shop! They’re local to me. That’s a great find - everywhere I checked has been sold out
