Dunwich Amplification General Discussion

#4,081

I had a ton of rare Dunwich that I sold right before the retirement. I was pissed for a second or two but then moved on. I don't think the incredibly high prices will last much longer. The new cats won't care about this stuff in a year or two and I think the dirty little secret is none of the Dunwich stuff was ever really (imo) that amazing. It's a hyped brand and I think a lot of that hype wasn't justified.

I find the Dunwich stuff to be pretty amazing, particularly if you are into lower register playing (bass/tuned down guitars).

The scalper prices suck but you see it across the board. Anything that is hard to get that has interest went through the roof. Dunwich isn't alone. Look at moog, 3leaf, Iron Ether, Dwarfcraft, CooperFX...

I wouldn't get annoyed that you sold stuff that became worth more...I think we all have done that, particularly if you've been playing instruments for a bunch of years. I just have a hard time believing things are actually trading hands at these ridiculous prices, but I know it happens. Blows my mind.

I knocked out this track using my Spector Euro 5 and the Night Owl Parabellum. There's a bit of DAW production work on the track but the bass is essentially the Parabellum into a Hilbish Compressimiser and a DSM OCSD. I'm really happy with the Parabellum sound.

Yes, this is a cover of the Agent Orange song.

My collaborator put a video together for this track and the audio on YouTube turned out better than the audio on the SoundCloud upload. Not that anyone needs to hear this track more than once... but here's a better representation of the Night Owl Parabellum with my EMG loaded Spector.

That was pretty cool… both the track and the animation.

I’m still totally digging the Parabellum; the Parabellum and the IE Oxide are the only two drive pedals on my main board now - covering my low and high gain needs.

I appreciate the compliment :)

The Parabellum took me a minute to dial in, but the proof is in the track. I tried a few other boxes that I thought I'd like, but that was the sound I was after.

I've actually got a new favorite dirt box, but it's a desktop studio bit of gear, and not really a pedal. It's got a few modes of distortion, a filter, and a compressor.

I've got the DA120 out this week. It works nicely with my fretless, and that's what I want to work on for a bit.
