    The 40th has a chunkier neck? But the J Mascis has a wider neck, right? I only played the Mascis and i remember thinking, this is a chunky neck, compared to my modern C fender necks... i'm deciding of buying one of these

    Excellent review! Tasteful playing, good up front info about the pedal, and the best demo of this pedal on the net! Great job of cycling through the modes w/appropriate tweak-age of each one to get highly usable tones. Kudos and keep up the great work good sir!

    I have a Montgomery Ward Airline 62-9012A. The circuit is similar to a Champ. Bought at a garage sale for $7. Speaker was from an old tv. I replaced it with a Weber 6V8A. I compared this amp with a Vibro Champ I had and I liked it more. Made by Danelectro.

    For many years, my black/black Matchless Lightning 2X10 was my heartfelt, always reliable mainstay. It was a perfect pedal platform for anything I ever played live with flawless reliability and stellar sound. I love Marshall and Fender amps, but this amp was my go-to for gig after gig. This includes countless songs in the blues, rock, and jazz genres with both clean and distorted tones. Feedback from the masses was always fantastic and, personally, I loved the “set it and forget it” nature of these amps in conjunction with my pedals. Sadly, I sold the amp, but now have the $ capability to buy another. Get 1 and never look back…

  • @AmbientEndeavors

    @johncrouch47409 күн бұрын

    @@AmbientEndeavors Understood. I also owned an SC-30 and Chieftain, but they were simply too much amp for my needs. In the end, the Lightning is the perfect combination of stellar tone, bulletproof construction, solid reliability, and manageable weight for nearly any type of music. It never disappoints whether you're in a small club or outdoor stage. I used to think they were over-priced, but now believe they are worth every penny as an investment.

    🤣 No. I tried a few low watt tube amps, 4W to 15W and was underwhelmed. I have 5 x 100W tube amps, 1 x dual 100W rack tube power amp and 1 x 180W tube amp. My smallest tube amp is 50W, but it has an attenuator switch, 5W, 10W, 50W; and I usually use the 50W setting. I can play loud at home and I do. I have earplugs. 😁

    @@AmbientEndeavors thanks & cheers! It's not all about volume, the dB differences between 15W, 30W, 50W and 100W are relatively small, and the efficiency of the speakers will influence the actual dB. it's about the big bottle power tube saturation, especially with a NMV amp; with my MV amps, I can dial up the master section, and lower the preamp volume or vice versa; I find for more classic hard rock/metal (60's to '80s) a more open and raw sound I like the power section cooking. For more modern, smoother tones (e.g., Mesa for me), I can do with less power section and rely on the preamp more, but it also really comes alive with the power section hotter...it could be it's what I'm used to though?
