I used to have more Orange stuff. Now I just have a PPC412 (black), and a Micro Crush.

Hard to focus on how great the amp sounds when all you can think about is rearranging that guy's face.

Another video with no stupid faces this time!

Also one of it with a tele/strat (complete with faces again...) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1nmRJcQ3 ... re=related" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;
It's got my attention. Considering a fairly low power amp and this, a Dr Z Maz 18, Mesa Transatlantic 15 and Fender DRRI are on the list

Re: dr z monza

Re: dr z monza
Yeah, and like lildavid said, it's not hard to get a semi to sustain like that. That guys face is painful to watch. SRV he AIN'T.nguideau wrote:Hard to focus on how great the amp sounds when all you can think about is rearranging that guy's face.
Re: dr z monza
That's a cool little combo, I think it sounds very interesting, very unique. I'd love one. Too bad they're $1400, that's out of my price range (but not expensive, lest Greg come and smite me with the rod of his mouth )

Re: dr z monza
If you can't get sustain being that close to the amp with a semi-hollow body, you have issues. Good sounding amp though. They would do better with strictly audio clips.

Re: dr z monza
I'm seriously tempted. I had money set aside for an acoustic but spent way less than I was anticipating so am thinking as soon as my PRS arrives by shipment, I may pull the trigger...Neiloler wrote:That's a cool little combo, I think it sounds very interesting, very unique.

Re: dr z monza
Yeah, I hear ya, I've been thinking about this little amp a lot since I heard the demos. It sounds a whole heck of a lot better than I ever thought a 1x10" combo could be. I really dig the simplicity. Makes me wonder if I shouldn't just build something with a 2xel84 tube setup into a 1x10" red fang and save $700.Bink wrote:I'm seriously tempted.

Re: dr z monza
Yeah I'm with you Neil, I'm amazed at the sound from a 1x10... although I am a fan of EL84 amps anyway.
AD15 and TT are back in UK in storage for now so looking for something a little different here stateside (and Orange is way more expensive here than it is in the UK, and the American brands are way cheaper!)

Re: dr z monza
Yeah, but that $1400 is pretty steep if you wanted a smaller TT combo. Hmm. There's always the Weber Smokin' Joe II, a 2xEL84 amp. I'm tempted to look into that one.Bink wrote:Yeah I'm with you Neil, I'm amazed at the sound from a 1x10... although I am a fan of EL84 amps anyway.

Re: dr z monza
The head is $1100, which is a good price, IMO. That's what the Maz-18 runs (non-reverb). Considering all the hands-on labor that will go into the head, it's a great value.
