You hear what you want to hear. And i put it next to 3 blackface amps. It is imho very possible 1000+ buyers are t h e dumbest mofo's getting dooped by a guy that implemented highgrade behavioural psychology to sell pipedream amps Title: Re: Should a fender based circuit "amp of the gods" not sound awesome?

D amps may be based on Fender designs, but they are NOT Fenders. If you want blackface tones - stick with your blackface amps. But why do you feel the need to insult owners of D style amps who are very happy with them? Title: Re: Should a fender based circuit "amp of the gods" not sound awesome?

Must be something wrong with your amp! Be cool. Title: Re: Should a fender based circuit "amp of the gods" not sound awesome? Post by: plasticvonaband on February 09, 2013, 02:29:34 AM Tone is in the ear of the beholder. Indeed. To me, the closest D style amp to the fender sound is the bluesmaster, and even then it is more of a mix of tweed and blackface, more into brownface the more i play it. a couple of component swaps and it can be VERY blackface.

But why do you feel the need to insult owners of D style amps who are very happy with them? Sounds like maybe something is amiss with yours. as Dr Ika stated above, 1000's of folks are happy with the D Clones, regardless of who made em.

Post by: AustinR9Powers on February 09, 2013, 10:52:35 PM I have a Two Rock Studio Pro 100, a Fuchs SLX ODS 100, Vibro King (Modded), an HRM Bluesmaster 100 and an FM100 Ceriatone.
I have had a Blackface 65 Super Reverb (original) with all original iron. My Ceriatone amps are not taking a back seat to the others.......they are ALL great amps :chairdance: Speaker cabs, tubes, pickups, pedals, room acoustics...etc all can make an amp sound like heaven or crap. BTW, I prefer EVM12Ls in 1x12 or 2x12 cabs with open backs. Dumble sounds aren't for everyone. Title: Re: Should a fender based circuit "amp of the gods" not sound awesome?

The S&M, which is what i believe Olaf is having trouble with, is especially quite specialized. from mciknu: "Overtone S&M Special Skyliner nonHRM Overall brighter amp compared to standard OTS... clean tone is more or less the same (just a tad brighter), on the other hand OD is brighter, more aggressive sounding. Like OTS this amp likes to sustains. In my experience this amp is not designed to switch from clean to OD on the fly. You have to set the clean and stick with it... than go to OD, set the tone again and play that for a while." the boldface part might be part of the issue Gregg Title: Re: Should a fender based circuit "amp of the gods" not sound awesome? Post by: Bluestone on February 10, 2013, 06:38:19 AM My OTS 100 has a clean tone comparable to black face fender amps. The voicing is a bit different with more prominent mids. I think black face fenders loose something significant with the reverb turned off, so perhaps you need to look at that side of things.
I have a TC Nova reverb in the loop on the OTS and it sounds glorious..! I`ve owned twin & super reverbs.. and both great amps, although i don`t feel they are superior to the OTS. Cheers.. |
