yeah, so did I,...always thought that's the best looking amp out there (not to speak of the sound)

 

[trym^^]

say lasse, any past experiences with ascendancys shipment to our region ?
what about taxes, are they cool with a little understatement valuewise ??

 

[trym^^]

oh and external transformers suck big time, so you go with the internal ones
from TAD or what ?

no it's the first time.
I heard the Trannies of the 2ch can be connected to run at 220v....
if not I'd have to go with the TAD Tranny for 210€
and...
PM'd (nothing to discuss officially )

For crying out loud, Lasse... how many amps do you own now? What, your custom one-of-a-kind head wasn't good enough?

I think... I think... yeah... I think I want to have sex with your amp.

It was (and still is) good enough...
I just don't want to record other bands thru it (should remain a "wow I want that sound but will never be able to get it"-amp for others than me ).

plus it's in my liverack and I don't wanna take my gear out of the rehearsalroom everytime I record guitars for other bands, this way I still have awesome amps to offer for bands without having to take my band's stuff to the studio every other day-



right now I have 4 main amps in the Studio:
-2ch Recto (not now but in a week or so)
-6505
-JMP 2203
-Roland JC-120


with those I think I can deliver pretty much any sound the client might be desiring.

And no, I don't have too much money, I just rather eat nothing but toast and drink water for 3 month than record with a valvestate ....
and I don't have a car or go out often at the weekend and I'm living in a small apartement....
priorities ...

porno!! i like it

Nice amp

If it's a 110V and you want to use it with 230V you should change the transformer. I was told by a Mesa tech that the amp will sound different if used with a step up transformer.
The price to change the transformer was told here to be around 200-300 Eur.

I was also trying to buy a 110V 2ch blackface and then change the transformer after, but I managed to buy 2!! 230V DR 2-ch Blackface.

Yeah, the tranny is 209€...
perhaps I don't even need it (old mesas had different connections on the primary side....if i'm lucky I can just solder the other wire to the power and am fine...
worst case...replacement tranny for 209€....

yeah, few days ago a first-series (below 500) dual was sold on ebay here for VERY cheap-
wasn't a lackface though.

 

[LSD-Studio]

It arrived today...
had to fix some things first (case was broken when it arrived etc)..but everything is fine now.
I replaced the PT with a 230v one and took the amp for a testdrive at todays rehearsal....
HOLY FUCK!!
this BEAST has not much in common with the newer 3ch I tried...so it seems like all the 2ch-hype has a reason...what a great amp!

Gavin, you're probably gonna be the first (metalband) that's recording with it...
