And the 6534 is the 6505 but better haha!
really in what way? you've now got me interested in hearing the 6534 too bad none of the stores around here have one.

Haha dude, you are overestimating my abilities, some of these amps are pretty terrible, some of them are phenomenal though!
The magazine is going to be objective about the amps and leave the verdict up to the audience, but i have definitely formed my own opinions on these amps so far!
Well Guitar Edge tried to get an 800 from marshall, but they gave them the runaround and then never sent anything. The avenger is the SLO lead channel and sounds phenomenal. And the 6534 is the 6505 but better haha!
The worst is whoever does the demo using such obviously metal guitars as a Clapton strat...
Its a good amp for sure, much better than the UL in my opinion. But i had requested it because i used to own (until very recently) a no eq clx combo which was one of the best amps i have ever played, and i was hoping that this one would have sounded the same.I'm curious to see what people think of the CLX Masterbuilt. It's definitely one of the best amps I've ever owned! It seems the UL had more success but the CLX has way better tone imo.
SERIOUSLY! I don't want to hear some AARP member playing single coils through a dimed 6505. Oh, and another thing... playing some bluesy lick really fast with lots of distortion is NOT the same thing as metal. I'm looking at you guy from guitar world videos
worry not, i picked a few things to reamp that would showcase the various sonic abilities and the full range of sounds of the amp:
For the clean i played a section of Epic Fail, because that seemed to really demonstrate the chime of the amp and i picked a little harder during a certain part to make it break up a bit so you could hear how that would sound
Then i did a very chord rich section of Not Enough Mana to demonstrate how well those would ring out
Then i did a section of Racecar that is low tuned but also has some chords and a low string squeal and this was with a tubescreamer to demonstrate the agressiveness and clarity of the amp
Then i did a riff from one of my mixtests which is in Ab tuning as well as some open power chords with chunk and djenty technique so you can hear both the purr and the djent of the amp. This also has a tubescreamer on it.
Finally i played the Jetpacks Was Yes! solo on the lead channel of the amp with no tubescreamer so you can hear the raw lead sound of the amp.
If the amp had any built in effects, and i felt that it enhanced the clip, i used them in the appropriate clip, but we are not using post effects on these clips.

Keep those EQ's around noon
Misha, were you dialing them in to sound roughly similar with the same piece of gear, or were there certain characteristics you were trying to bring out in different amps?
this is what i never get when comparing amps, I can usually Get most amps to sound pretty much the same (aside from the obvious differences, or maybe my ears just suck for that sorta thing), but i mean, i can dial them in so that with the same guitar they all have a similar type of sound, and identify which i like the best. it's kinda what got me settled on loving Peavey amps so much.
was that kinda the game plan here?
made enough that i got what you're trying to say.
I seem to have an issue with that, I've only have one amp really "Speak" to me and kinda guide my tweaking where it wanted to go, and that was this ancient 5150 that i played.
i suck with just about everything else, and they tend to sound like ass whenever i try to tighten up the low end or anything, it just shits the bed on me, lol
but yeah man, can't wait to check it out.
Im not one for settings so much as just listening and tweaking appropriately, but thats just me!
