Played a Bruno Cow Tipper this past weekend

Yeah, Cowtippers are pretty sweet. It's a pity that Tag doesn't like his...

 

BRUNO BRUNO BRUNO!!!!!!!!!

LOL!! Glad you dug the tipper! They are SOOO easy to play, and have that huge 3D sound! It makes playing clean a JOY! Who would have thunk it?

Really glad you dug the amp. Try to find out which one it was you played. Also, give it a whirl with a Fulldrive II if you get a chance. It just LOVES that pedal for some reason. I always thought you were a real high gain lover, so this is a real surprise! Bruno really makes such great amps.

Now who the heck IS that Tag guy?

 

Tag, have I ever told you that you look like a damned psycho? :-D

 

Like a moth drawn to flame...... Still digging my CT45 too.

Tag,

Is the CT22 a lot quieter than the 45?

 

Yes. My Cow 22 is in heavy saturation before the 45 even starts to breakup. I love both amps equally. If I HAD to have just one, it would be the 45, because for some things, I just need the extra headroom. Tonewise, they are EXTREMELY similar. The 22 is slightly sweeter sounding, the 45 punchier. My two Favorite amps EVER. I will have to own the 35 and 90 someday.

 

Tag,

I thought your fave was the UG30?

 

I switch between the 3 Brunos on a weekly basis. If I could only have ONE, it would have to be the Cow 45, because it is the only one that offers me enough clean headroom for some of the things I do. However, that does not mean its my favorite. I love them all equally. :BEER

 

Tag , I am very interested in picking up a Bruno, can't decide between the UG 30 , or Cow Tipper 35, even the 45 interests me? Can the UG 30 get in Fender Blackface territory? Heading to New Yawk in 3 weeks so, Ultrasound here I come.

 

I have a Cowtipper 90 and love it. Great amp!

 

I've owned both and can chime in if you want. I'm sure Tag will be glad to help out too. The UG 30 is a very unique sounding amp to me. I wouldn't call it's tone Blackface. It's an AC 30 power section coupled with a (if I remember correctly) tweed preamp. The combination is really cool. A super blues machine with AC 30 like shimmer....

If you want Blackface tones with some Bruno mojo added try the Tipper. Make sure if you buy used that it has the bright switch. That's a later enhancement that really seems to add chime to the overall sound, to my ear. Models that have the bright switch usually have the mid boost switch too. It's a very transparent sounding amp with a tight low end and soft silky highs.

 

Tag:

Aside from one mighty cool pink shirt, you have a mini-avalanche of fine gear. Thanks for the pics!

 

Thanks for the input Dave, like what you are describing, can't wait to hear one.

 

I'm thinking I'll one day shoot for a Bruno CT-45 butI'm unsure of what speaker config to go for. 3x10 seems cool but the 1x12 seems a lot cooler for my back. Anyone compare most of those speaker options??

 

Tophat? Did somebody say Tophat? Where is it? King, club, Emplexador? It's gotta be around here somewhere.......
