Now what is the pedal he is using, and are those cabs 6x12, 4x15, 8x10

Such a fanboy

Depending on when that video is from, it sounds a helluva lot like a Schumann PLL (stupid expensive).

He kicks it in around the 3:20 mark.

Totally rad...

Jesus Christ that pll is one bad mutha fucka.

Hemisaurus · February 27, 2011, 10:25:39 AM

Does sound kind of square wavey and phasey, bit like the Nocto Loco.

Is it just me, or does that Schumann sound like a 100 tiny assholes?

Discö Rice · February 27, 2011, 02:46:35 PM

Am I the only one that thought that was really bad?

Hemisaurus · February 27, 2011, 03:55:45 PM

The Schumann or Cope's bass playing? Haven't checked the Schumann vid, I was just being funny about the pedal, but the main bass sound is good, could do with being a little more hairy, whatever he's using for the second sound is very weak, you can get something phasey and fuzzy without it sounding so thin. I get some really nice phasey/flangey sounds with some old Ibanez racks I have, and on the low end of the sweep, the tone will shake your fillings loose. Maybe it's just the mic in the camera, but the other amp seems to come through pretty loud and clear.

His playing.

Hemisaurus · February 27, 2011, 04:47:05 PM

Nope, I dig it

bbottom · February 27, 2011, 04:52:09 PM

That was awful

Discö Rice · February 27, 2011, 05:00:20 PM

I mean, he's certainly capable, I just thought that didn't really go anywhere.

Hemisaurus · February 27, 2011, 05:02:45 PM

Don't know if this is the same as the amp he's playing, but he has a 400W Matamp, here's some pics of it being built.

Allegedley doing 400W clean or 650W dirty.

Mmm, what I could do with a set of transformers like that

Discö Rice · February 27, 2011, 05:20:26 PM

I'm interested in what you could do with them.

Go get me them, and I'll show you, get two of each, I'll build you one too

NoSleepTilSleep · February 27, 2011, 05:35:20 PM

First smite? Looks like someone really hates that pedal.

Hemisaurus · February 27, 2011, 05:38:45 PM

smite? you mean shite?

NoSleepTilSleep · February 27, 2011, 05:40:28 PM

Ha, strange thread.. But seriously that Matamp sans headshell is eight-shades of ridiculous... still awesome.

Discö Rice · February 27, 2011, 05:56:57 PM

Do you know the part numbers for those? Where would I find them?

Hemisaurus · February 27, 2011, 06:21:12 PM

They look like Partridges, which have been built by http://www.transformers.co.uk since the late 60's. I also believe Mr 1000W tube amp, Jon Chambers is involved, http://chambonino.com/ who it appears also custom winds transformers, all that just gleaned from googling forums.

Discö Rice · February 27, 2011, 06:44:09 PM

zuuuuuuhhhhhh......

Discö Rice · February 27, 2011, 06:48:13 PM

KT88 on left, 813 on right.

Just read the little write up. 1000 fucking watts. Don't want to seem like a pussy, but that's slightly terrifying.

Discö Rice · February 27, 2011, 07:30:41 PM

So my question is - the SWR Megoliath, for instance, is rated at 1200 watts mono, but for some reason I feel like that 1000 watt tube amp would just detonate that speaker cabinet instantly. Thoughts?
