A few days ago I posted a first Steavens Poundcake Distortion clip here (http://bareknucklepickups.co.uk/forum/index.php?topic=19251.0 (http://bareknucklepickups.co.uk/forum/index.php?topic=19251.0)) and someone asked for some feedback about the clean or crunch channels.
I just did the clean channel. With different boost combinations (which can all be stored via MIDI) and different gain settings alone, this covers SO MUCH ground, it's unbelievable.
The volume was really low.
Video quality is cr@p, and there is a bad sync of audio/video due to youtube compression issues, but I guess the sound quality is good enough to get a good picture of what this can do.
Ah by the way, I swapped the JJ6L6GCs today to a quad of RFTEL34s.
Here's the vid: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-qzyc0kf9-0 (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-qzyc0kf9-0)

Hi Hunter :)
I've listed back to quite a few of your YouTube clips today and I STILL think your best tones came from the Shiva. I guess my vintage Marshall tastes still overrule all the more modern amps you've got/had.
Have you ever tried a Soldano SLO? I think they'd be right up your street, and a bit more like the Shiva in lower mid growl?

Shiva was nice but what really bugged me was that the clean channel couldn't be got to break up nicely and the drive sound was not capable of 80s hair metal, just lacking the upper mids. Plus the loop sucked tone.
I am thinking that maybe the 20th Anniversary Shiva might be more up my alley.
The SLO is great, but the loop is awful. And it's not very versatile in that it has that upper mids pronouncation that is just there and can't be dialed out. It could probably do it all for me, but only in a W/D rig, not on its own because of that tone sucking wrongly constructed loop. I heard there is a mod by John Suhr to make the loop good though.
I need a tone machine that can cover ultra clean to ultra high gain and all in between with ease and support some kind of programmability. The Shiva wasn't that unfortunately. And I prefer amp drive over using pedals to get there anyday.

Other than the Uberschall the Bogners sound way to strident, though to be fair that's just from clips. The tone you had playing the Gilmour stuff was great 8)

You're asking a lot from one amp Hunter! Not sure you'll ever truly get that?

It doesn't exist.

Well I'm not sure. This one could just be it!

Are you sure? The cleans sound quite 'flat' to me?
-
For me it's got to be 6L6 for clean and EL-34 for high gain stuff.
Which kind of means 2 amps in my ideal set-up
My amp has EL-84s

Cam mic and low volume issue.
Turned up and in the room it sounds awesome!

It seems incredibly versatile indeed !Btw,is it a Jap SG?

Whatever happened to the Axe-FX / VHT setup?
