I turned it off after a few songs and listened to dopethrone instead, I was happier with that decision.

Epiphone slasher? Headstock isn't my thing, but pretty cool.

My wife has one of those JBL bluetooth portable speakers. Pretty nice. Blasting High on Fire while I shower makes showers way more epic.
I'm in a classic metal band with Doom/Stoner leanings.
I love HP Lovecraft and I love Bolt Thrower.
Can any of you GAS me up enough to want to swap my Microtubes Darkglass B3K for a Dunwich Volt Thrower?
PS- If you have any clips or Youtube videos of you using it I'd love to hear 'em.

Should be picking up that bastardized 810 tonight... EVM 215 vs ugly butt 810 who shall come out on top.
Totally different animals. The VT is waaay dirtier with a ton more mids.
NBD
2000 USA jazz with all the case candy. White blonde so I think the body is ash. It's heavy.

They don't sound anything alike, I would just hold onto the B3K AND get a VT if you're into the RAT tone on bass, but want a more flexible and bass friendly tone.
Here you go...

Don't get me wrong those evms are amazing speakers and sound pretty good, but I've never been a fan of the slicing high mids and not so much low mid and bass, that's why I think the 810 might win out. It has the pummeling low mid thing that I'm looking for.
Coincidentally I listened to Dopethrone while out on a run yesterday afternoon. I forgot how much I like Barbarian.
Check @Corey Y's Soundcloud stash for a bunch of well done Dunwich demos.
Heh, shows what I get for using my iphone and replying w/o reading to the bottom...
I had a B3K and I would not use it in a stoner/doom/sludge setting. If I were playing something more metal then maybe. The B3K has a very modern scooped tone with a bright top end. This genre tends to favour more vintage mid heavy tones. But there are no rules. The VT is based on the rat. Get yourself a rat and see if it's something you like. If you do the VT is even better.
Gonna put aluminum strips and peavey badge on it?
Road like 25 miles, alone I don't have to stop so it's faster, but country dogs chase and try and get me when I'm alone. This evening I got rushed by two pit bulls, got one kicked in the head and ran the other one over as it tried to bite my foot and I managed to swat him down with my front tire and roll over it. Adrenaline rush I did not need, but safe to say I can perform defensive foot combat while maintaining evasive speeds.
So I'm never taking a right on C. Wolfe again, that's a lefty road always and forever.
