This is Yamaha G10 - non pitch to midi controler. Works like a keyboard so no delays at all, very fast. But the best guitar synth is ZTAR by Harvey Starr. t comes in different shapes and sizes but performance wise is absolutely fantastic. One day I’ll get it I hope. Here is one awesome demonstration:
That’s probably because your TONE pot was still 250k. Disconnect it and you will definitely hear the difference in high frequency response. Tone pot on all my guitars are MIDLE SPLIT ! 500k. in the middle position it switches OFF and on the one side it has 0.04 mkf and on the other side is 3300 pkf. This gives you very interesting tone shaping possibilities.
me too my friend!!! I guess I have to rob my friend Woody one day or ask Nick to make me another OTS but 100w version. Or sell everything and go digital with the guitar synth? Then I would not worry about capacitors, resistors valves, speaker cabs, smooth tones and even playing with the right hand. I can play everything with just left and change zillions on sounds with right same time. How cool is that?
Maybe it's just me but from that clips the amp does not sound as smooth as I would think a D amp should sound like. ...on the other hand, this speaker can deliver that "gutsy" tone which is way cool.
Overall I would say, I would love to have this cab in my cab arsenal.
Hi Mcinku,
Probably because that I’m using Strat with a single coils and for that, bridge pickup sounds pretty powerful and smooth, especially with drive + boost. Also my strat’s volume and tone pots are 1 meg and 500k. Instead of 250k.
Looking at your lovely 5E3 deluxe walnut head you can ask same guy to build you a cab as ours.
Yesterday I’ve recorded some sound samples with my Overtone and Celestion BL15-150 bass speaker and I was very impressed with the tonal qualities of this setup. The OTS presence is on 10 !!! to compensate treble.
Please enjoy the samples and let me know what you think. Cheers
Bludo Drive (by Brandon Montgomery) is a great amp but OTS stands absolutely shoulder to shoulder with it and above and beyond compare to D’Lite 44. Bludo, D’Lite and CCC cab belongs to good friend. Larry’s Bludo is a special design with international power selector and increased clean channel gain.
Nice to hear from you too my friend. Wow Jensen NEO 100s in 2X12 must be fantastic – sweet, worm and very lightweight too. I’m sure OTS will sound great with this setup especially in your capable hands, you are such a lovely player. Love to try your amp some day. Mitch (another friend on this forum) kindly promised to show me his OTS too. I’m really looking forward for some tone heaven.
I’m not trying to promote my concerts and I really apologise for posting this here, but if you have time and desire to see and hear my OTS system in live action, please come to our gigs which are listed below. I’ll be glad to see you – say hello and chat.

To tell the truth I never tried any Klein/dumbleator to compare to my other loop processors. One thing I know for sure if one uses proper bypass switch (because “bypass” on the rack devices IS NOT A REAL bypass, signal still goes through the digital chain) like this
This is a simple, double pole switch which disconnects FX’s IN and OUT contacts and reconnects amps SEND – RETURN poles. So you can hear unaffected signal from the amp. With this you can fine tune and match amps real volume, tone without and with FX unit. I use short (40 cm) RF leads (one’s ground wire is disconnected from the jack’s ground pole to avoid ground loop hum) and use G majors EQ for frequency compensation if I need to or shape the tone for each patch differently. I will soon try my friend’s dumbleator made by Brandon Montgomery (Bludotone amps) to compare if it works better in the loop.
Mitch sorry I did not reply on your old post in Russian. Being GEORGIAN I try not to show my knowledge of “enemy” language, especially now
Started to use T.C. electronic G major in OTS loop, controlled by G minor. Works just great, no need for Dumbleator. Here are sound samples:
Gibson L6 with a single coil bridge pickup. Expression pedal + flanger, phazer, delay, reverb, then octave up+down with large hall, then little compression with delay, reverb http://www.drika.biz/OTSFX.mp3
Funky Blues – L6 single coil bridge. Channel switching with a G minor + G major. 26st sec.- overdrive. 40th sec - bridge humbucker. 1,15 min – drive + preamp boost, 1,54 – single bridge clean. http://www.drika.biz/funkey.mp3
