That thing sounds pissed!! Nice!

[@ericandrews1661]

I always heard good things about those amps. I wouldn't mind trying out an evh but i already have enough amps and they might be a little heavy for what i play. More classic rock and 80s metal. Sounds good though.

[@wizardsouthJP]

@@ericandrews1661 you can dial the gain back, but they certainly offer a lot of bang for your buck 👍🏻

[@Erock503]

haha, dual chug, sounded mean brother!

Very good my friend, you could Tonecatch this head with the Ampero Stage 2

@@carlosfelipe4737 don’t have a clue what any of that means - but thanks 😎

[@startale123]

Nice playing, i have been watching you for a while, and i wanted to ask, is Wizard worth the money, and is there any affordable substitutions for the Wizard sound?

[@wizardsouthJP]

@@startale123 thanks, your question is a matter of opinion and maybe preference based on what one deems valuable or worthwhile for a specific purpose. All that being said, the Wizard 3D sound is hard to replicate. If you play even the finest amps side by side with one it’s really hard to argue that they’re special. The EVH EL34 Stealth 100w is in the ballpark of the MCII but doesn’t have the clarity or dynamics. But, for metal - whether live or recorded they’ll both do a fantastic job. Rick is a friend so it’s easy to support his work. Thanks!

[@startale123]

@@wizardsouthJP thanks for the answer, i have been considering a wizard for a while and i think i might pull the trigger soon.

[@progrocker84]

Does this amp approach anything else in your collection? How does it fare against your Rockerverb 100 Mk3?

[@wizardsouthJP]

@@progrocker84 for the money it hangs with some of them at least for vicious chuggy Caveman metal

[@Willjrockstar]

goes to show that even the finest gear wont make you a guitar player.

[@wizardsouthJP]

@@Willjrockstar not sure if that’s a compliment or an insult - ouch.

[@sb6232]

@@wizardsouthJP ..that was kind of a dick comment. Tone and playing demo was great.

[@theoryofthrash]

Sounds cool, very different to a tube amp distortion though

[@wizardsouthJP]

@@theoryofthrash the distortion is 4 gain stages from 2 - 12ax7 if I recall James Brown’s explanation of his design.

[@theoryofthrash]

@ ah interesting!

[@wizardsouthJP]

@ Mr Brown’s comment on Euge Valovirta’s demo of the amp is helpful - check it out

[@JohnWiku]

When you pretend to know but don't know crap of what you're talking about. This is tube amp DISTORTION 😂😂😂

[@Slamthulhu]

Guitarists once again falling victim to the Placebo by hearing things that don't exist lol
