Any word on the MT100?

[Jon Pearson]

Here's my video


I enjoyed the amp overall. Basically a big, 100 watt MT15 with a dedicated 2nd OD channel based on a Dumble ODS. I think the amp does great at the "Wall of sound" thing and overall has a very pleasing high gain sound. It is noisy, much like the MT15, so you will more than likely want to run a 4 cable method gate with it, but other than that, no glaring issues.

8 Preamp tubes ensures that each channel gets it's own tubes for the tonestack which is great, and each channel has it's own dedicated EQ. It's simple, yet well thought out.

Any thoughts on how it compares to the Archon on the high gain channel?

Drop C section sounded pretty noice.

Definitely a cool amp if you’re looking for the option of a mid gain channel but overall not enough differences or added features to justify the jump from the MT15 for me. MT15 already has more than enough power for rehearsal/live settings and is unreal convenient size wise. Still cool to see this amp finally come out, just wish it had some more features outside of the added channel

It's been a few years since I've had it, but it reminds me of the H&K Warp T sound.

I absolutely loved the sound of this.

The warp has really been on my radar of oddball but cool amps i wanna try

I wasn't a huge fan of it -- I guess I would describe the sound as bassy, thick, and generic, which is what I'm hearing as well in the middle section of the video.

Yeah thats how I feel about it. I'm only really interested in the high gain channel and it pretty much just sounds like an MT15 to me from the demos. Could have at least added a resonance knob.

I was thinking this too, particularly about the resonance. I'm excited to see an MT15 vs MT100 comparison.

All 3 demos I've seen so far are good - and are all somewhat different so get a good broad range of tones to go off of...

I think you linked the wrong vid, this is twice the amount of Fluff.

Oops haha

Can’t edit post so here’s Mark’s vid…

All of it sounds like a Diezel to me. Gravelly midrange. Kinda dark top end. A pumped up low end with like a hard knee filter to keep it tight, but despite all the low end, it somehow sounds small or pinched. I hear the same thing when the vids switch from a lower gain channel to a higher gain channel. The sound/footprint gets smaller.

I guess if it's a cheaper VH4-ish thing, then that'd be cool for a lot of folks.

Kinda looks like this, this logo is better, same knobs.

I still ordered one

This demo from Jarrod is awesome.

Sounds a little flubbier on the low end as compared to the original 100W Archon to my ears in the demos. Ill probably keep the Archon and not worry about replacing it with this.
