great summation - i’ve really loved my TC-100 and i suspect it’s because i feel most comfortable with marshall-based gain and eq. The TC has enough of that - but enough different from it that it feels additive to what I have.
i have been trying to stretch my boundaries more with a Mark V...
curious why you say that about H9 vs Strymon? I have been using a Timeline for a while and haven’t noticed any issues with gained up tones?
also, if you add dry into the wet cabs via not setting modulation pedals 100% wet, don’t you need to worry about phasing/latency issues between the dry...
i can see your logic.... i am even worse, as i have a couple of the anniversary ac30s too.
i picked up a vintage ac30, thinking i would sell the anniversaries - but they are so damn nice i now have 3 ac30s!
Wait, so you were trying to get from 3 amps to 2...
the keepers were the marshall and a vox...
and you ended up adding another vox??
that is so TGP, my friend!:rotflmao
Like many things they come off like they’ve had good success but now can’t get over themselves...it all becomes a little too ‘cute’ and more about ‘them’ vs the very subject they began with
Fender Tweed and Blackface
Vox AC30
Marshall Plexi and JCM800
Soldano SLO
Mesa MK and Dual Rectifier
a little more time and i bet we could add:
Friedman BE100
EVH 5150
Two-Rock Classic Reverb
i know what you mean, as mine was a Komet Silver Cloud.
i just thought ‘this is gonna be it - complete end of GAS’....and it just didn’t do it for me.
In hindsight, I knew it as soon as i plugged in.
thanks for this - i have heard come complaints of having essentially 9 different amps vs being able to effectively channel switch (which you can only do across the 3 channels in one fixed mode for each channel vs being able to footswitch modes within a channel, correct?)?
regardless of modes...
Not to derail but how does the Mark V fit in to the type of tones we are discussing here?
I know it has some aspects that functionally make it completely different - but how does the nature and quality of similarly dialed in tones compare to the Fillmore and TC?
i am not sure tbh - i am getting a custom suede color and i ordered it some time ago. I would assume a new order might take some time - i try to generally be patient these days but i also like the TR guys a ton so it’s easier to be patient with them (plus, i have other cabs in the meantime)
the SSS is a larger head size - the matching 2x12 for it is slightly oversized compared to a traditional 2x12.
i have a SSS, as well, and I am waiting for its matching cab - Eli told me it sounds huge (as expected)! Lol
