I can see that. All my other Wizards are EL-34 and there is a certain aggressiveness you get with a Wizard and EL's for sure! My MC 100 is a 2016 with the preamp updated in 2023 and with its El34's and "C" transformers, that might be the angriest amp (at volume) I have ever owned. I think...

Man, I guess it goes to show how we all feel and hear things differently as players. I would rate the JVM, DSL and Silver Jube all as very easy amps to play....and none of them remind me of the attack an Ultra-lead has. Mind you, I never found the Ultra-lead "stiff" to play. It is certainly...

Well there ya go.

Very likely. My understanding is the S2 and CE's are a figured veneer over a maple cap.

Yup, US pickups, electronics and parts. That is pretty cool they will do Wood Library runs for S2's. I have seen some special run CE's before, but only Core level (and quite expensive) wood libraries.

My first higher end tube amp bought brand new was a 1999 Rev G. Liked it....never really loved it. When I got a VHT/FRYETTE pittbull ultra lead a few years later, I remember thinking, "THIS is how is I wanted my Dual Rec to respond!" At the time, I thought the Fryette absolutely ate the Rev G's...

Dragon II pickups. 12k ish wind, A4 magnets.

Agree with all this! From now owning an MCII and playing my buddies, as well as now spending time behind all the Wizard models except the HellRazor, I think the MCII is the most versatile in the lineup: Like Matt said, with the black Kat + boost combos, you can dabble in Wizards vintage gain...

Just order it in the same scheme as your other Wizard and she won't be able to tell! 😅 A KT200 Wizard (of any type) I can imagine being insane. Also, while I have not played the HR yet, it seems like you can all varieties of gain out of that thing....not just the modern sort.

It is absolutely a keeper.

@Nashville Riff Co I also picked up a Wizard Rock Standard on recommendation from @WizardSouth-JP You would probably really dig that one: MTL style controls and tone sculpting, but sounds (and feels) more vintage, like, hot plexi through modded 800 style tones.

Ya, it is my first Wizard KT amp. I like them all, really, but the KT's are a bit different and I am really digging it. If you get a chance to try one, definitely give it a go!

I got it off a forum bro, @Clp45 I am really loving it man: more hi-fi sound with bigger bottom, top end presence and more neutral mids. Keeping the contour dimed though still gives plenty of kerrang!

I recently scored an MCII KT150....absolute tremendous thump, punch and clarity in an amp that already has that in spades. I can see why guys love the big bottles in their Wizards. I can only imagine how rediculous a KT200 HellRazor or MTL would be....

I recently picked up a 210H. I essentially grabbed it with the intent to sell to a buddy who needs/wants a cheaper 100w head. It has actually surprised me. Good clean and jcm 800 (ish) crunch on the first channel that takes a boost well. Kinda like how a DSL is. Its second channel is a cut...

Well....that '98 Ecstasy is one of the best multi-tool amps ever made and a Rev Blue is a great partner for that Bogner tone/feel, just more on the aggressive side of things. Ya, the Green is less tweakable compared to the Blue. The presence/mid interplay is similar, but it does indeed always...

Ya...an SLO 100 at volume is as much a physical experience as it is an aural one.

I am in the minority, but I preferred my Rev Blue to my Rev2. It is a "tamer" amp, but still classic Uberschall, wall of sound tone IMO. Definitely is a great lead amp and the interplay between the presence and mid controls is massive. Similar feel to my Ecstasy Red channel, but way more gain...

Really great video review, well done! I REALLY need to play a VII in the near future here. The Crunch mode on my old MKV was my favorite/most played mode on that amp. I asked a Boogie rep what it was based on and was told the Crunch was,"Inspired by the vintage high gain mode on our...

I had a MkV for a good while. It is certainly a very versatile amp: great cleans, the best rhythm 2 channel to date, rectifier tube option and power scaling. It was an amp I really dug for at home playing and some of the little riff recording I did with it, absolutely sounded authentic Mark...
