thank you for the great read Frank…you are so right about the gibson amps…not a very good amp at all…LOL!!!! It was my first amp when I was a kid… Although a great friend (great guitar player imo) of mine who pretty much only plays Marshall head/cab thought the amp put out a nice tone for a SS….but I am looking to upgrade my whole setup…which is why I’m here looking at the magnum 44…tubeEQ…so I really appreciate the info you provided…as for my plans now…I ordered a celsstion modern vintage 10 inch ceramic (will come in tomorrow)…and planning on either ordering a weber alnico Blue Pup 10 inch or a celestion blue alnico..a total of 60 watts either way (two ten inch total)…I am really curious now to know how well the magnum 44 would sound with the tubeEQ pedal…and if they were designed to work with one another….it kind of makes sense…after reading about how the tubeEQ shapes the sound (magnum nor the calibar offer eq’n) have you played around with a eq with the magnum? thanks once again and enjoy …Stimpy
hmmmmm….I wonder if the tubeEQ was designed to be the perfect compliment to the caliber 22 or the magnum 44…both amps do not offer EQ’in…both are solid state amps…this past month or so I have been trying to learn as much as possible …seems the industry is tube crazy…and it seems some companies who do offer actual tubes in pedals are claiming these tubes help solid state amps by giving them a tube feel….anyway..has anyone tried this configuration? that is.. either the magnum or caliber amp pedal with the tubeEQ?
I think this will be the route I will go…buy a magnum 44 (btw…awesome concept…and from all the videos …sounds great) stick two celestions in a lopo cab…and also get the tubeEQ to go with the Magnum
hi Fender&EHX4ever;…nice to meet you thank you for your review…it sounds like this pedal is something that will work and help out my sound….thank you for taking the time to respond…appreciated ..I did see the english muff’n after I bought the ibanez tube king …not to say I’m not happy with the tube king…its just that this is all new to me …been years since I actually bought gear for electric guitar…been doing acoustic for the past 12 years or so only…starting up a new band and will need to play both…Electro Harmonix has some really nice quality gear…I feel like im a new kid on the block in a sweet candy store…I now have 4 pedals on the list that im thinking about getting from EH thanks once again…cheers…Stimpy
