The Doom Room: ILF Edition

[D.o.S.]

Just ordered a Electric Amps MV120 7 knob!!

Can I ask why?

Re the cab stuff, you'll be fine with a 200 watt rated 2x12 unless you're diming everything all the time forever.

I've always wanted one, and finally had the disposable income to order one. Is there something I'm not aware of?

[D.o.S.]

Well for one thing, I'd be curious to know what kind of wait time you were quoted.

Also, any reason you went Electric specifically?

Not trying to dissuade you or dampen your enthusiasm, it just seems like I've read a lot of posts from not-so-stoked people who've dealt with EA.

He didn't quote me any time I already know I'm going to be waiting up to a year. Joel I think it was, was helpful and nice in his emails. I've just always liked the sound of them live and on recordings, so I figured I should own one.

If you know any other manufacturers making old matamp type amps I'd be open to looking at them.

that's not it but it's the closest i've found, i know exactly which version you mean and it's drilled into my head as well. love pixies.

The year I was born. Man, those guys are old.

the ultra vi. in short amazing

AMAZING.

skip, and ANYONE else thats like "le fuu baritone guitars just arnt low enough" FUCK GET 56000000000 GET

Awesome-sauce. Glad you like it. How are the pickups?

take this with a grain of salt cause I think I have a fucking tin ear sometimes (dimebucker + walnut les paul + phat cat is tonal orgasm for me)

theyre lacking. kinda ho hum. BUT I personally have aftermarket pups in EVERYTHING so it was an understood expense from the get go.

for average joe just wanting bass theyre fine. but for asshats like me that want everything THEIR fucking way, theyre lacking but if youre like me you already have the extra expese budgeted

it also could be theyre just low output pups and I like ultra high overwound holy fuck pups.

There's a handful of them, including Matamp themselves, but my intent isn't to drive business away from Electric. I've just heard horror stories about 18 month waits, and I've seen Joel conduct himself in a not-so-smashingly way over the internet a couple times, especially in regards to Matamp UK.

That was ages ago, though, and I hope that's all behind them as a company. Dude put out the first High on Fire demo and the first couple Yob albums, after all.

Yeah I've heard those too, trust me. But I've been emailing him back and forth and hes been nothing but helpful towards me so far. I don't mind waiting a bit, I've been on the Dunwichs wait list for over a year and still have quite a while to go. I'm just patient I guess

do you guys ever go through a time where youre like FUCK EVERYTHING I HAVE SELL IT ALL AND RESTART AGAIN!!!

Right on dude! Let us know how it develops.

Whiskey-I've never sold everything. I sell out of grudging necessity.

[whiskey_face]

same here. im also really jelly of those one or two amps and happy dudes.

fuckin shit.

Sam, try a 2x15 if you can find one. More surface area to move more air=more perceived volume and toanz. I'm looking at letting go of some cabs to make room for the new and that old Kustom 2x15 is staying. Not the loudes or most efficient but it sounds really fucking good.

do you guys ever go through a time where youre like FUCK EVERYTHING I HAVE SELL IT ALL AND RESTART AGAIN!!!

Wait... whut?

Also, peeped your sig. I wish to become an ordained minister in the Church of the Riff.
Seriously. We need to get this turned into a legit cult.

This is why people pay big bucks for vintage amps. If you come across one, then there's no wait on the build plus after awhile of trying to get people to build you something with that vintage tone you eventually ask yourself...why don't I just get the real thing? There are definitely times where I'm "fuck those wait lists" and then other times where I just tell myself to forget about it and then a year or two later cool gear magically arrives on my porch.

All the time...most of the time though I realize that I'd only buy a few different things. Mostly I wish that I had a time machine to go back 15 or so years when you could buy Model T's for $100-200 and buy a few for my collection.
