[lespaul6]

I will be playing one VERY soon!

did you get one?!

In a couple Weeks I will! Grabbing that 50W no loop Metal that was in the classifieds...Can't wait!

cool.. congrats... post a good hard rock tone with it if you can. I would like to hear it set up differently than whats offered here.

Nice, I really would love to try one out. Never seen a Wizard in Germany though...

Wizards MTL vs Diezel VH4 ? I know its an orange to apple comparison.. but due to its range and tones it can fetch which has a better ground dominance ?

Not sure what ground dominance is, but here are some before and after pics...

How do the Wizards compare to the Friedman?

I can only speak to the JJ compared to Metal. I dig the Wizz the most, and it had more that Marshall mid thing than the JJ. The Friedman to me was more compressed, and though the JJ was very dynamic the Wizard was still better in that category as well. Tons of gain from both, WAY more than I'd ever need. With the metal I never run gain more than 1/1:30 and don't really use any saturation

Sorry for my bad english i was trying to say which has a wider coverage on tones.... thanks and your collection is awesome !

I also have a '14 MCII 100 watt and a '16 MTL 100 watt. These and a Matchless HC30 have completely ended my amp GAS. The MCII I got in '14 caused me to sell a couple other amps and a Tyler guitar to get the MTL. No regrets at all. I even play my MTL at church through a 1x12 Wizard cab in a closet. Can't recommend them highly enough.

Both have a pretty wide coverage of tones. I'd agree with Devilinside's comparison to the Friedman. Friedman is darker/more compressed sounding with a little more hair in the gain. The Wizards are much more open and have more punch and girth to the tone. The Wizards are super tight and percussive which I love - even moreso than my UL. I have an OD808, but I find I don't use it much with these amps. The wizards kick out a lot of low-end thump, so sometimes I use it to help cut it a little. Both the Wizards have tons of gain. I've read people say that the MCII doesn't have enough for metal without a boost, but I disagree. It's no 5150 buzzsaw, but it has plenty of gain. I'd say if you like the Fryette UL, you'd love Wizards, they play like UL, but take it to the next level. The UL was my favorite amp until I got the MTL and now MC2.

Is it the way I'm looking at the photos or is the wizard a smaller cab

Hey guys how are the newer wizard cabs? specifically 1-12 and 2-12 cabs, already have a bunch of 4/12.

My wizard mtl is the be all end all in amps, only complaint would be a better clean channel, its good but not the OMG you get with the gain channel

You've really got my my attention with that description. Well, I've got 2 good kidneys, and I'm only about 1 hour from Juarez. I bet I could pawn one of those puppies and pick up an MTL

Guessing this has been posted before but what a kick ass sounding amp!!!

Yep I like it too!

They are all the exact same size. The white piping is an optical illusion that makes it look smaller. Lol
