He's got mics on the cab though, not sure what the mix we're hearing is (cuz it definitely sounds like it's at least partially room/camera mic, if not entirely) - but yeah, not too impressed I'm afraid (and MAN that guy faps to Petrucci )
So I met up with the designer and manufacturer of these amps yesterday and they were really cool. To bad their amps got stuck in London so I didn't get a chance to play one. But they went to the gig nonetheless and checked us out.
Hey Ola, the amp arrived today and me and Fredrik played it tonight. Two words: Holy Shit! It's a monster and it feels like you're getting a bitch slap every time you hit the strings. It wasn't the tiny one on the videos though, it was the Forza. I gave Mike (the builder) some small things that'll be added to the design. Gentlemen, this could be the first true plug and play metal amp. No boost needed.
I did some videos, but I'll send them to DAR before I put them here.
That was the only one they had, and I didn't have a chance to mike it up. Next time.
It has the best tone stack I've ever heard in an amp, and it's the "contour' knob that changes the frequencies that makes the magic. Less than twenty seconds to find a sweetspot.
It was my idea. I feel cheated now, and have $300 worth of carbon fiber sitting here that I refuse to use now. I suppose it's my own fault for not coming out with it sooner.
