found an old jazzmaster body I made and bought a gfs neck/pickguard. Now I just need to grab some cheap EMGs lolmight just grab a squier so I can do some active pickup comparisons.
Also I have it on good authority that a certain Fractal devotee around here recently bought a QC.........
Im doubtful of that a bit. Ndsp have given lots of units to metal bands to promote, which isnt the same as “love it so much i bought one”Since I have been messing with ToneX lately, I have been thinking about how it seems like lots of metal guys go profiler... Kemper, NDSP, etc... and many of the Fractal users tend to be more solo effects people, or coverband type people.
I dont know if that means anything, but I find it interesting.

Damn I thought I got lucky, but nope! Seems someone bought the bottom to this stack at the exact same time I bought the top! Weird.
Anyways, the cab fucking rocks! It's overbuilt as hell, but surprisingly light! Still a 412 and heavy, but no where near a Mesa weight. Thick plywood and sealed back, front loaded plywood baffle. I pulled the speakers hoping to see some Union Jacks but I was let down when I saw the unbranded black backs. After a little research and finding someone asking what these were to Eminence, turns out they are just unbranded Legend 12-75's. I think they sound killer, actually. I don't even know if I'm gonna do a speaker swap watch the classified space if you're interested in Mojotone speakers, I might be throwing them up. The stock speakers are nice and bright but have a low mid growl that sounds really cool and have a pretty tight low end. I only got to try it down to drop C, but seems to hold up to lowish tunings.
Don't laugh at the positioning, I had like 30 mins to play with it at my studio and plan to have it down on the floor.

Seems to be slightly smaller than a standard Mesa Trad cab, which is fine by me. Can't tell if the handles are just plastic or plastic lined metal, but they FEEL robust, but also feel plastic. I think this will serve me for years to come. Long live cabs!
Kemper was also very popular with metal bands.Im doubtful of that a bit. Ndsp have given lots of units to metal bands to promote, which isnt the same as “love it so much i bought one”
Krank 2.0, lol.It's been interesting seeing the number of bands sporting the QC and then they magically no longer use them when the sponsorship money ends. The Intervals tour a couple years ago immediately pops to mind, he was all about the QC and made no secret NDSP was sponsoring the tour... then immediately dumped it as soon as the tour was over.
Yes the latest and greatest is the hot flavour as we’ve seen since the first hot flavour.Kemper was also very popular with metal bands.
I got rid of some of these recently, but kept the 005 and 011, as they were my favorites. The 005 is very good sounding for what it is.Got one of those Mooer 005 preamps because it seems like they're harder to find nowadays and one popped up for a good price. Since I got that H&K stereo power amp and ISP theta preamp pedal I thought it would be cool to have a 2nd preamp to go with it
Many have been using them for years, even as others have come and go.Yes the latest and greatest is the hot flavour as we’ve seen since the first hot flavour.
