RSA 23 has landed

Awesome. What an intriguing amp. I wish there was a way I could hear/play one of these d/13 gems.

 

obligatory clips from clean to driven please TAG, we have been waiting to hear RSA23 and RSA31 material.

 

I'm waiting with baited breath!!!

 

Since recieving mine it has become my amp of choice!!!!

 

and where is YOUR clippage ?

 

Simple dyslexia!

 

Hi all,

I just finished up some home recording ... demos for the band ... and I have a clip of an old CCR tune that I could email to you if you want to hear the RSA 23.

The clip is 3 megs ... so you'll need a fast connection.

I'm not going to get into the hosting thing, so if you want to hear this clip, please just pm me and I'll mail it to you.

I must say that I love the amp, but am not perfectly happy with the recording. There's some splattiness (not to demean Mr. Torn), that's coming across that is more a product of my recording skills and setup than the amp.

Anyway, the tune still somehow manages to sound alright.

PM me if you want it.

And I'm still mixing more tunes, so I'll have more clips soon. Hopefully, I'll be able to figure out better mic placement.


Thanks,
Dennis E.

 

I am so convinced this is the amp I am buying after my C+ sells. How much was the matching cab? I want a matching 4x12... even though I already have 3 marshalls.

 

PM sent.

 

Great review, thanks.

 

Gilbert, thanks for the review. One day I'll play one of Fred's amps.

 

Try the lower gain input on the click channel- I think you might liike that cranked up a bit....I think it will give you more of the fluty gain your looking for.....let me know what you thnk.

 

Thanks for the clip Dennis. The tone was really fat and greasy. Reminded me of some classic overdriven Billy G tones. Complex and harmonic overtones poppin' all over the place yet still very focused and dynamic. The chords are so fat....jeez. What a cool sounding amp.

 

I am NOT GAT.

(Nothing personal GAT)

 

You're welcome.

You described the tone of the 23 better than I!

The main thing for me is that it's a FUN amp to play ... one of those amps where you actually turn around during a gig, smile and think, "Do I really sound like that?"

Dang!

Have fun,
Dennis E.

 

Hi GAT,

I had a tough time with the 23 when I first got it ... especially the Click channel. It was sooo agressive. I thought maybe it had too much gain, and I was looking for ways to tame it some.

But after about 3-4 weeks, the amp settled in. Over that time it really warmed up a bit.

Now I can all of my guitars with the 23, and I enjoy them equally well.

Anyway, my point is that my 23 changed over the first month ... and in a very good way.

Have fun,
Dennis E.
