Haha alright! :-D Thanks Bryan. Reread your post and now I understand it! LOL.
Yeah I do like heavy stuff... It's kinda pricy.. I was thinking of selling my Tonelab LE to get it..
The Tubezone is attractive though..
Any other opinions guys and gals?
haven't played a HT Dual, but I was a longtimeowner of a Tube Zone until I flipped it.
It is essentially a Recto sounding pedal. You wont get those sizzling hi mids for that marshall tone. the crunch box handles that department.
I enjoyed the dynamics the TZ had, it didnt just do high gain stuff well, the low gain tones were very good too. hi gain was dynamic to picking if set right.
Flipped it coz it had a huge bottom end i couldn't deal with.
but lately, I've been wanting one again... i miss that tone

Steer clear of teh tube zone if you want tighter, more muscular Marshall tones. The Tube Zone is made to sound quite like a Recto.
Here's a sample of a song recorded with Tube Zone with an MXR 10-band EQ and an E-H Tube EQ:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=S-t3-e8Wn_Q
The guitarist did just one pass of guitars and the simulated stereo was done on mixdown.
Thanks for the comment. Yup looking for something close to that Recto sound. This video was shown by rolexm to me last night. It what started me to think of really getting the TZ!

Low end? Wow... Ito na nga ito nga ata ang pedal na hanap ko. Hahaha. Thanks for the data idol!

Haven't tried the HT, but Tubezone works for me. Anyway, is there a version 4 na? I think the latest is version 3 or 2 pa ata.
meron nang version 4. i was lucky to be hanging out in my favorite guitar store here in sydney when the owner of mi audio walked in with some stock of pedals for the store. just got myself a brand new tube zone for half the price! and a free bottle of beer :-D
the tube zone also sounds much better with 18v.

Which gives that Modern US high gain sound better?
Anyone tried both?
Try my AMT B1. (http://i28.photobucket.com/albums/c202/turiguiliano/TGP%20EMOTICONS/poke.gif) High gain. I'll lend it to you for a day. Just take care of it. Text me (no PM's)

Tried the V3 of the TZ. Haven't tried the HT Dual. Based on youtube info, TZ gives you moar gain.

Hey, thanks for the offer and trust! Will let you know if I'm up for it! Don't want to borrow it and like it without any cash on hand. Haha.
Also, medyo target ko talaga ngayon Tube Zone.

Haven't tried the HT Blackstar, I'm a fan of chugchug that's why I bought TZ, In my opinion, TZ is more on heavy tight distortion field, It sounds like fuzz to me if you turn the gain all the way up, but then It's really a Chugchug pedal. Just wondering the difference between the 2 version.

CHUGCHUG talaga! and you can control the tightness of the bass with the character knob. Just like the Metal Muff, if you past 12 or 1 o'clock, medyo fuzzy na. Wondering between version 3 and 4 din. Basing sa looks, I pick the ver. 3.

18v way to go. I actually have 2 EQ's after my TZ. One tube parametric EQ (boost and dynamics), and one KFK10band graphic EQ. SO MUCH TONE SHAPING POSSIBILITIES!

if i may add that although i dont have or even own an original tube zone( i have a clone)..if i wanted something heavy sounding it would be the blackstar HT..for more diversity in low gain settings i will have to go with the tube zone..

Personally heard this one at GAS day, MESA MESA MESA! Ang daming tones sobra at kuhang kuha talaga ung tunog. Kung ganyan lang din ang icoconsider mo na tubezone, ayan nalang. But I think you'd have to search the leprechaun at the end of the rainbow!
