Fire in f’n hole my dude’s!!

in a digital cell…
It wasn’t too shabby tbh.

What was my claim about Larry amps cleans?!
The clean channels rule,
particularly with the 939 & the Rock Wizard.
-the RW actually has an even better clean channel by way of warmth & depth..
kinda has the soul of a Pro Reverb.
The gain channel was like a bloated JCM 800 in dire need of a boost to be presentable.
-no elements of the grunt in Larry Amps.

-that Dino clean channel was crazy good with a King of Tone and insanely great with octaver’s,
phaser’s- SUPER dope.
A Rat pedal..is butter on the potatoes man.
The top end is magical-but that might bite you in the ass later in the gain stages.
I preferred the Reggie’ British Channel best.
The others can be touchy, especially with EMG’s.
I rocked it with a Ken Lawrence Explorer with HetSet & Les Paul Customw/Motor City Pickups
“Hog’s Heaven.
You HAVE to play Larry Amps st least @5 on the volume adjuster, loud AF or walk home boy.
-that’s where the Gatlin Gun punch in the grunt cascades over the room💯.

How is Lawerence?
He’s pullin’ his usual mindfuck games.
He’ll steer y’all right into a labywrinth of lunacy.
He loves to sweat in’ Americans, like the scene from Saving Private Ryan where the German soldier calms the young American soldier as he finishes him-like that!!

So Lawerence .. WTF are the amps??


Btw, your user name..
When did Yoda start pippin’ Ludes man??
LTFOL, congrats with the amp.
Play it loud AF homie!!
I like how your hands and mind ‘think’ and create sounds.
You landscape sounds.
Cheers for YEARS💯

Dimebag had wizards on top of those solid states . That’s how they got their top end sizzle . Rick’s el34 sound is the best . I don’t have my Larry yet

Maybe so as I have heard the same thing, but the core tone of Dime was the Randall's, RG100ES, Century 200's. I heard it was a studio thing to thicken the tone up some with layers. I would imagine if Dime loved the Wizards he would have played them live and dropped the Randalls.
 
There are some things going on with the compression and tight bounce to the gain channels that identify Larry's amps as Larry's but besides being a wiring piece of artwork I just don't hear enough to justify the prices but some people may hear things differently.

Enjoy your amp Yehuda, if it has the tones you like that's all that matters.:2thumbsup:

You are the first person I have heard mention it but I have always liked Dime's tone. And the Wizard clips here on rig-talk have been among my favorites so I guess it's all adding up.

But the wizard was layered on top . I hear the wizard hardcore ok the 3 albums it s on . The 2 albums with no wizards lack a lot

I'm sure a Wizard would could get a good Dime tone, I'm not arguing that. Here's Wes Hauch using an Archon getting a Dimeish tone.


Maybe fire up your Wizard MTL and lay down some Dime clips, that would be worth a listen!:yes::2thumbsup:

Ya you def can use other stuff . When I got my wizard MTL2 I was like there’s that sound I could never get . It has this glow to the saturation . El34s and Rick equal something I’ve not heard elsewhere . My Larry will be the king I’m sure

Welcome back, Angel of Meth! Monarch of confusion to what’s been said!
 
That’s a really cool and interesting tone @Yehuda. Sounds tight and crunchy. Very tight, very clear.

Sounds like it has a voicing very similar to your latest Wizard HR clip, but while the Wizard has a much wider bandwidth, the Larry feels narrower, like it outputs mostly in the mids. Not saying one is better than the other, just interesting differences.

Almost makes me understand how people were willing to put up with Larry’s shit for so long, lol.

What did he use, MCI?

Now I need to go re-listen for them. The double EQ blast the mids makes it so hard to actually ID his amps.
 
Not sure what else it can do with some tweaking but that's a perfect sound for metallic hardcore, maybe something like newer comeback kid type of music. I dig it, would love to see the dials turn but thanks for posting either way.
 
Sounds thin to my ear, not enough ass, but I dig that wild hair and some frequency of mid scooped in there. I still don't really get what all the fuss is with Larry amps. Maybe you have to hear in person? Thanks Yehuda!
