NCD! <-- the 'C' isn't very exciting! Update: (shoddy) video clip.
« on: August 15, 2008, 12:44:44 PM »
UPDATE: Just recorded a quick (very) rough-sounding video of the amp. Excuse the rather dodgy playing and the clipping (I'll have to experiment with the positioning of the camera in future). But it gives you an idea of the sound anyway!

Here it is:

Just a little update on the amp front. Now have a matching Martamp cab for my Ceriatone/Martamp plexi.

Sounds truly awesome!!!! :twisted: :twisted:  What do you reckon chaps?

EDIT: And I should say; I can thoroughly recommend Martamp- great amps and great service. :)

Looks awesome :) Do those martamp plexis need to be really loud to sound good or is it possible to get a good overdrive sound at a reasonable volume?

Cheers guys!

Tom: Clean to mild overdrive is great at low volumes, but if you crank the gain (channel volume really) too much it gets a bit buzzy and that's when you need to raise the Master (which is where it really comes into it's own!!!).

Glad it got there safe! And fast too....24 hours for a 48 hour service; Good old Parcelforce  :D
Looks great with the amp, and at last you've got something decent to run it through.
Cheers!  :D

Just sent you an e-mail Martin :)


Yeah the first chord blew me away after being so used to that not-so-good 1x12! :D

what brand was the not-so-good 1x12? What speakers have you got in the new cab?

and you're wrong - the 'C' is quite exciting ;)

It was either a Behringer or a Kustom, Gwem, borrowed from a mate of mine. Had an old Fane speaker I think. 'Twas pants, whatever it was! :lol: :oops:

Speakers in the new cab are Celestion Hot 100s (G12 T-100s?).

Dave (mc)- yep it's Orange! :lol: Although the second pic is quite saturated which makes it almost red(ish).  :wink:


And yes my rig (it's the first time I feel my gear is worthy of the term 'rig' :lol: ) does sound great now! Just been experimenting a bit and found the ultra-sweet spot for leads.

I might try and record a clip on a little video-camera if it sounds ok.
