I really don't know which I prefer. I feel spoiled for choice

@nick_boy whats Satellite amps do you have?

I know you love them...but do you know much about the Omega model they do?

Absolutely love it to pieces.

@wazmeister I do like delays...

Not so good with cabling and velcro, and your thread on the Fractal has me very tempted if one was ever available.

Will try and sort a pic of the indoor house trained amps later, but need to do it when the wife is busy, so she doesn't find out all my hiding places...

@Gassage, Nice hi-fi speakers, consider getting them out of the room corners, wire them up 'properly' and enjoy the results of your labours

Yeah, those 1w head'is are great fun (the jcm800 is also good). Have you tried it with a bigger cabinet with g12m's in it?

No not yet. Quite fancy getting a 2x12" made to match it if possible. 

Also, I've seen people using it in .1w mode as a preamp going to the fx return of a larger amp.

Sounds amazing 

I wonder if someone could make a match 20-30w Plexi flavour Power section sepcifically for this use

EDIT: Oops that clip was just going through an older big cab. Here's a couple of clips of slaving -

The top head in the picture is actually a valve outboard reverb. You can dial out the reverb mix though and basically use it like a massive valve overdrive with the extra gain stage.

The other head is a Barracuda. Kind of in the plexi region with 2x kt66 but still has it's own satellite style with emphasis on full on balls to the wall heaviness.

Other than knowing the Omega was Adam's first exception to having the whole 3 knob controls, I don't know a great deal about it. I can't ever imagine needing anything with more volume than my Barracuda and the single tone control is really well voiced and balanced that I don't miss separate bass/treble controls.

You should send him a message on instagram (he often replies quicker on there!). He's pretty down to earth and happy to talk things through. Just don't go asking for power scaling or anything like that!

you need more cabs!

beautiful collection...is the plexi a reissue or a really well kept original one?

kelv_w

I need more space! haha

The plexi is a YJM100

new home amp...its based on a super lead/bass circuit, but only has 1 input and has separate dark and bright volume to blend in the right amount without jumping channels. Its sounds great...25w with EL34's...

Wow, that looks lovely.

My amp hasn't changed for a while, I recently modded it to fit the Palmer junction into the back. The little Palmer is a great unit, direct to tape or to a pa instead of an sm57, it's much easier and more consistent to use. It isn't as good as an e609 on a greenback, but it's not far off.

@timmysoft - do you use your Flashback much? I've got one but don't use it much. 

thomasross20

This thread is great for giving me an idea of what grill cloths look good for my custom build!

Not a huge amount, I've got the Boz tone print downloaded to it which is cool, but my songs don't call for a lot of delay. 

thomasross20

Not many songs do, sometimes I wonder about selling it to get something else.

It's pretty much the most flexible compact delay, that's my reasoning, if I do need delay I know that the flashback will definitely cover it. I prefer the sounds to that of the carbon copy bright I had.
