Hey guys, was thinking of my own Boogie amp, but unfortunately, I really can't handle the weight and the dangers of lugging it around during gigs and rehearsals. Who loves to climb stairs lugging an 85lb amp anyway?? Never even dared to bring my old Classic30 to gigs back then. I don't have a PA and my only hope was to make use of my small amp and board.
I just got myself a Mesa Boogie V-Twin Preamp pedal (again). But this time, I'M REALLY FLOORED. I mean... WOW. This thing is such a beast! I'm taking back all the stuff I said in the past. I used to have this pedal and sold it a few weeks after I got it because I though it was too muddy, dark and fuzzy. I was absolutely wrong and obviously the culprit in my first experience with it was.. nothing and nobody other than ME! I didn't know how to use it and just treated it like a normal distortion pedal (where in you plug it in front of an amp and expect it to rock out by itself).
Luckily now I got to try it with my own amp with an effects loop, which is a blessing by the way (thank you Lord for my ZT Club). This thing is WAY LOUD and has GOBS OF GAIN on tap (think Recto / Mark modern high gain). My volume is just at 1-2 for home practice and my gain is just up to 12 o'clock. I'll try to post soundclips recorded via USB with this so you guys can hear it. The EQ is also powerful enough to shape your clean / OD / dist to your preference. This thing is like a real amp to say the least.
Anyway, I'm still keeping my SansAmps for recording purposes, but this one gets the prime real estate on my board. Gotta love the Lord for giving us blessings like this! \m/
Here it is Instagram'd (LOL):
