DAR Amplifiers...

[Ola Englund]

Anyone tried them? Looks like they're taken from the latest Star Trek movie.

Why I ask is that I MIGHT be playing one of those live tonight.

looks awesome. designed some ex Nasa guy apparently

Apparently they were using the same exact tubes in MIG-29 planes and russian tanks... for some reason...

 

[kramer1309]

There was a thread about these somewhile back...
weirdly cool design

 

[Mikaël-ange]

This thread again

 

[muckypup1]

I remember that thread

All the DAR amps look sooooo good! If you do use it dude, let us know how it sounds

My friend Dallas Marlow (also a Stinnett customer!) is endorsed by them. He should be getting his amp in the next month or so. He doesn't play metal by a long shot, rock and blues, etc. but he's a great player and knows good tone when he hears it. The thread from a while back was by me regarding my friend's endorsement in fact.

Much higher quality tubes than what we'd normally use. Really wanna try one of these

 

[Notuern]

Imagine changing tubes every 20 years or so.. what a relief!

not a flattering sound from the room and the camera mic, but i think it shows great potential

One of the coolest features, at least the one my friend Dallas is getting, is that it is constantly changing the voltage to the tubes to be optimum the entire time you play. When you chug, it reacts and adjusts the shit, trem pick, adjusts, dive bomb - ADJUSTS. These amps have way too many features I just wanna know how they SOUND though.

Stole my carbon fiber front faceplate idea. Very pissed.

But doesnt the voltage actually swings depending on what you play on every amp ? It is never constant afaik

IIRC, different voltages. There's voltage that's contantly applied to the tubes and then voltage that is from your playing. I might be wrong though. I do know that i've never heard of an attempt to deliberately adjust voltages to playing on the fly

Or cause a nuclear explosion.

you have a consistent DC voltage (with a DC ripple) being supplied to each stage. However as the amp changes its state of conduction there is a small loading effect on the supplied voltage, causing it to oscillate with the input signal. If the change in current it not mitigated you will have tube sag. While even amps with diode rectifier and even a choke have tube sag, the more regulated the amp is, the severity of the sag is minimized.

The first video showed promise... that guys a solid guitar player.

What the FUCK was going on in the 2nd? Couldn't think of anything more interesting to play? Looked like a total tard bopping his head about, too.

Sounds pretty shite tuned low, though .

not impressed, my Line 6 modern high gain default setting sounds way better than this.
