Have the multiwatt Dual Rec and Joyo Zombie II, man what a steal for somebody on a small budget. There's a girth to the real thing and a bunch of versatility you definitely won't get, and they won't be mistaken for one another by anyone with ears, but as far as the red channel side of things it's about anything a person would really need in a metal band context. You still need a decent cab or an IR you like but you could get by with it. The younger players coming up today are swimming in low cost ways to get a good sound

@@Lenser I'm very impressed also seeing this was a B stock guitar (A stock wasn't available). Looks, feels, plays and sounds great. I was a little apprehensive with it being Indonesian but I bought an Indonesian Ibanez with the Fishmans that was great out of the box so I went for it. Also was apprehensive about the Floyd 1000 but if it gives me hassle I can switch it out for a better one but so far so good.

Gotta give credit where it's due, Ola. Your demo setup is always FIRST RATE. Your demos sound better than anybody else's because you've got your microphone game down. Your studio sound is superb. Nobody else doing demos is doing it on your level.
@valuedhumanoid6574 2 жыл бұрын
My local GC has one of these set up along with the others and they're cool little amps, just don't expect any clean tones. These are almost like big distortion pedals. Even turning the volume down on the guitar and the gain cut way back I still got overdrive. This is metal/hard rock only
@12breacher82 2 жыл бұрын
I think that’s all they are going for. I have the Bogner model and it cleans up pretty well. The Friedman and SLO sound so similar, and the SLO kinda sounds a bit like the Diezel (which I also have), so I’m good. The Bogner for me is the superior head because it has the most tone tweaking options. But hey, they all give you the big brand flavor and for an attainable price. I wish I had one of these when I was a kid!
@ahriik 2 жыл бұрын
They pretty much are big distortion pedals. As far as I've been able find online, the Diezel VH Micro is basically a rehoused version of the Diezel VH4 Preamp pedal, just with a built in power amp.

It doesn’t sound bad at all actually!…with a 4x12 probably even better. I think the Fishmans don’t help it shine because they don’t have the same dynamic/deep low end as passives do (even with the 2nd voicing they sound kind of “flat-ish”). Anyway, nice seeing Jen pop in!

Love the guitar - only thing missing for that color scheme is Gold JESCAR EVO Frets- :-) and maybe a set of Gold 9's Optima strings...now I wonder how that would sound. Also her reaction is priceless to your whammy play Ola. Personally speaking, I love the mini amps for a small office style room. The Micro Dark Terror though may still be king of the hill. I think they are great for practice while still getting that boutique sound, the only ones that aren't in the $200-300 range though is the Mesa Boogie that thing clocks in at $1400 and the Peavey that is $600 the EVH5150III LBX-S is around $750. I think to an extent they are worth the money as a whole kind of collection, but individually I am not sure Depends on your situation and Playing space I think an EQ pedal is an absolute must for these to better round out the curve.
@ZeeEm1991Gr 2 жыл бұрын
I think the Soldano sounds slightly better than the Diezel (and maybe also the Friedman) you demoed a few months ago. Then again, you're using a different cab and one mic here. Now you only need to get your hands on the Bogner Ecstasy Mini, so we have a complete(ish) picture of those four mini amps. My biggest issue with those amps is the lack of a clean channel. That (and the option to switch the channels with a footswitch) would make them perfect for smaller gigs. Man, Jen is such a delightful presence :D And there's just something about her smile :3

The problem isn't because it is in a small form factor, and it definitely is not because it is Solid State. The issue is due to class D power sections and the power plug being effectively just a juiced up 9 volt supply. Full size solid state amps of the past would have had a mains power supply and either Class A or AB amplifier within giving it's sound to the speaker. Speaking of metal, Randall comes to mind. You wouldn't call those weak or low bass and trebly. And the components in those could probably be transported into a smaller enclosure with all the same sound and greatness that those have. There's tons of great solid state amps that have been made in the past, but almost all of them now are just junk beginner amps or these with Class D power sections that just can't compete with a tube power section, since those have to be Class A to function.
