This is why I sleep around with other people's amps... too much violence for a long term relationship for me.
NO PEDALS. OK, one rule. We want to hear the amps, not your $1K über-pedal.
Goofing aside, it does show how we all measure things differently. For Les, it's all about how well the amp records on songs he's composing. For me, it's all about how it makes me feel while playing it live with a band (to me, most amps can sound great recorded) Maybe Boogie is someplace in the middle?
I was really just goofing around with the whole MDT beating the DG30 thing. I have both (but not the Super Dallas) and either can beat the other depending on what I feel like on a particular day. I dare say that the real test would be if I shipped you the MDT and see if it could make YOU like it better on that particular day.
On this particular day, I was supposed to be in meetings in Chantilly VA (about an hour and a half away) but it was called off because the gov't shut down due to weather. So I stopped by the warehouse to fix the 2-channel C (bad power tube.) The 2-channel beats them both today.
Having said that, I'm up for a little throwdown though. I'll mic both guitar amps (which we don't normally do), generate a separate monitor mix, and see if I can record direct that. Drums and bass (and obviously vocals) already run through it typically, so I should be able to get a better mix than using a room mic. If nothing else, I've been meaning to see if I could figure out how to get a decent live recording anyway...
Well, it's not my talk, ya know? I already have some tracks linked.![]()
and that, good people, is smack talk about smack talk!
When it comes to a Super Dallas, DG30 of HX/DA, talk is all I got, sorry.
