Hello!
I'm back for a bit, been away a while, busy gigging, writing and getting engaged and planning a wedding.
I have some time so I'm posting about STUFF.
So I saw this in JHB around Christmas:
It sounded incredible and I did a shootout with a cream-tolex'd PCB AC15 with a cream back Celestion. It flattened it.
Birch cabinet is roughly the same size as a Fender Deville and it's got a Alnico Blue in it. It's not that light, but its not that heavy. It sounds open and full. It's got Ruby Tubes and it's covered in some kind of 60s couch material.
It has a normal channel with bright switch and a top boost channel with a "hot/cool" switch. Tone cut and bypassable master volume. No Verb, no trem (small tear was shed).
I wasn't interested until Stuart (good ol' Stu) told me he'd whack off a whole whack of price on it for me and that's when unexpected GAS hit.
Long story short, it was recorded week after last at the new Red Bull Studios in CT.
(Yes, I know the Nuemann is backwards, it did something cool, so I left it.)
On a scale of 1-10 I'm this happy with my purchase:
Normal channel is the business, master bypass rocks. Still getting used to the TB channel. It sound great but I'm used to playing much cleaner than this thing tends towards. Can't wait until the speaker is broken in.
