Stage 81: S/D thread

Got to play through the Dunwich Mostly Harmless preamp more in depth today.

Hooked it up so that the Ormat side of the pre went to the dually and the ampeg side went to the '66.

The ampeg side is perfect, it sounds exactly how I wanted it to. Plugging in and not even adjusting the EQ is sounded fantastic. My Pbass into it with the 66 sounded just like my old svt but with more power and balls.

The ormat side is super awesome. It can get super distorted and fuzzy on its own. But it really showed its true awesomeness when I set it up for a light bit of grit and then slammed it with my demon king.

Combining the two together gave me the best of all worlds. Super gritty and awesome things going on from the ormat/dually. Then huge lows and depth from the ampeg/66.

I was running the DK into both sides of the preamp for the record, so that was coming through everything.


Each side sounds awesome on its own, but together it's just heavenly. Super excited to see how it sounds with the whole band, and especially excited to see how it sounds with the EGC.

always nice to hear this, esp considering the shipping problems

Hopefully will be able to try it all out tomorrow, I have my aunts funeral today...inoperable brain tumor they didn't find until it was too late, died at 59, way too young.

Sorry to hear about your aunt, Max.

That really is a good deal on the Rat, I'm a little jealous. Some d-bag in town is trying to sell one for $400. Not that it's worth that much, but still, you got a great deal.
 
Did you ever upgrade it to the LM308, I sort of remember your Rat adventure.

I looked into it, but it was the same time I realized I don't need any more pedals save a verb and trem. I might still buy a batch of lm308's though.

I ended up selling it to a guy, I just didn't make any mention of the chip, just stayed neutral. Sold it to a crabby guy heading to a wedding, but he couldn't begin to describe how much he loved it the day after via text, so all is good.
