So when is the second run due to ship?

They're still working on completing the first run

Dialed with the same settings, they sounded pretty close. The old CCV was a little bit thinner and more raspy/aggressive sounding. Slight EQ adjustments and it was easy to get them to sound the same. The new CCV did sound a tad bit clearer, but nothing major or really all that noticeable. All in all, the new CCV is killer, much like the old CCV.

Matt-

Did you notice any differences in gain levels?

If there was any difference, it was pretty slight. Not enough that I noticed.

No drama, one is not better than the other, no remembering tones past, no bashing, blah, blah, blah. I just stated my opinion. We are all friends and here to discuss the CCV's.

Here is a quick clip I made that has that signature "mid-grind" I have not heard on the new CCV recordings (yet ).

The sound of DOOM! Nice.
Is that some Iced Earth you snuck in there?

Dave, this is the type of mid character that got me interested in the CCV to begin with. I believe this is what is reffered to as Kerrang. I hear it here also with Mark.
If you guys are getting in to the NOS tubes. I used to buy and sell quite a bunch of them overseas. I had everything except the that super high end Telefunken ECC803S. I cannot find a better NOS tube than the the original Rosnov 32 code silver pin military logo for V1 for guitar.. I have had 10 amps that I put that tube in and it always delivers. It's my favorite. Didn't like the gold pins. They last for years. I have had a few for like 7 years now and they still test strong and do not go microphonic. I think they will never die.

That one was mine, and those tubes were BEAT when that was made.
