hows the mg head?

Posted by: skennington Jan 28 2008, 05:21 AM

It's a nice set-up for the money. IMO, the onboard effects are a little weak. The chorus,flange,delay,chorus\delay is all in one. not alot of adjustment here. It does have independent reverb which I feel is ok. Clean channel is nice with crunch mode, bass,trble,and mid adjustment, also you can adjust the gain on this channel. Overdrive channel: Has bass, treble, mid, contour and independent volume control. OD1 is pretty much the same as the clean in crunch mode. OD2 Is nice. I play here most of the time. Quite a bit of fuzz from a solid state. Also has a master volume and foot switch that lets you go from clean to dirty and effects on or off. Has CD in and emulated I\O / HF jack. Also has frequency dampening switch that try's to immitate the tube models but IMO, not even close. It is what it is for the money and I can say that I am happy with it for now. Unfortunately, I think I'm going to be one to always look for a better tone!

Thanks for your interest guys

I have put a metal grill on the back and have spent the last week or so experimenting with tone (since I am completely new to tube amps). The SM57 is great for micing just as everyone said it would be - its amazing how much variation you can get by moving the mic just an inch or two.

I am still trying to nail a hi gain sound - experimenting with pedals to boost the sound. Getting some good results but I'm not 100% happy yet. Also experimenting with a clean sound - this amp is not ideal for clean, but I am thinking of a mod to increase the clean headroom and make it switchable which should help.

I'm just about ready to send the faceplate off for etching, haven;t done that quite yet, then I am also thinking about adding an additional preamp stage or two for extra gain, and also having thoughts about the A.C.2 - now I have some experience I think I will make this a Head & Cab. For the A.C.2 I will likely build a more advanced and probably less developed design, so I will be drilling my owwn chassis and sourcing my own components I think, but that is still a while away - just noodling over the specs I want att the moment, thinking about a killer clean channel and a decent HiGain, and Blues crunch channel too - very ambitious, but we'll see.

Let us GMC'ers know befor it hits the market. I'd like a signed model! We should get first dibs, right?

Posted by: Andrew Cockburn Jan 29 2008, 02:29 PM

Of course! But the A.C. series will never be a high volume production item - I will be selling them for about $25,000 ech of course ....

Posted by: Twibeard Jan 29 2008, 02:43 PM

Fair price ... dont tempt me mate

Posted by: Andrew Cockburn Jan 29 2008, 03:03 PM

Actually its even better than that - I accidentally quoted the retail price - for GMC members it would only be $23,000

Posted by: Twibeard Jan 29 2008, 03:16 PM

Haha ...

Posted by: The Uncreator Jan 29 2008, 03:19 PM

Oh your too kind, Epic price for an Epic amp im sure!

Posted by: PanicProne Mar 9 2008, 02:40 PM

Well I don't really have any or the energy to get any pictures so this'll be aboring post. but anyway.

Guitars:
-Squier Strat (My first guitar. I like the green colour on it but as for actually using it? Horrible. The frets are almost so sharp they'll make you bleed and cutt the strings while playing to aggressively )

-Ibanez AR 250
(I absolutely adore it. Just put in new pickups too. Seymour Duncan Custom Custom and Jazz.)

-Blueridge 40 Acoustic.

Amp:
-very old peavey bandit combo which I don't use anymore.
- JJ Labs 2x75HV "ThundR Mark II" + 4*12 cabinet. Great amp for its price.

Pedals:
- Boss TU-2 Chromatic Tuner
- Boss DD-6 Digital Delay
- Boss RV-5 Digital Reverb
- Dunlop Crybaby
- Line 6 Dm 4


That's it.
