I dig it! I like the tone you're getting with the DSL.

Cool song! I think the mix is a bit anemic. Here's how I would tweak it with mastering EQ and compression: https://www.dropbox.com/scl/fi/2yoh1u7vyyymi8y2fmq1a/BlackMass.wav EQ is boosting 19k, cutting 6k, boosting 2.1k, cutting 650 and 240, and boosting 60hz. I could recommend some plugins if you'...

I've had GAS for a Friedman BE50 Deluxe since playing one at GC a few weeks ago. It's voiced brighter than most other Friedman amps and has killer clean and dirty tones.

They're kind of unconventional cabs: oversized, frontloaded, and (solid?) poplar construction. If you're not into the Eminence Legends, I think you could do better for $500. FWIW, I liked the 1x12 version.

Congrats Billy! Seems like a great amp.

I had the Hot Rod 25 for a bit which is supposed to be very similar. The SLO 30 fixes my two gripes with the HR 25—lack of depth control and funky loop. I actually found myself preferring the crunch mode with a boost.

Bummer! That rabbet joint that Bogner uses seems prone to breaking in transit. I've seen it on other used cabs and personally had it happen to an Uberschall head I bought. It's a far cry from Marshall's finger joints.

I briefly had the original Powerball which was ok. It's a very compressed sound as I'm sure you know. I sold it because my Mark III could cop similar tones and was more versatile.

ENGL just strikes me as a less reliable European Peavey, except with dinky transformers (barring maybe the Powerball II).

Which Rectifier did you have?

I wish my EVH 2x12 had higher power handling so I could try it with that. I all around like thst cab better with my other heads it can take You'd been fine unless you're cranking it, especially with any of the power/voltage reducing modes engaged (tweed, Class A, triode). Mesa is liberal with watta...
