he folks, good news. i just scored a boogie Dual Caliber head (ebay). i saw that auction, did some research, and went for it (nice deal btw)....and what's even better: i'll recieve the amp tomorrow evening (although the seller lives pretty far away from here, he has some business to do in my city, so we dont have to ship the amp).....dammit, i cant wait [img]/images/graemlins/laugh.gif[/img]
but i'm pretty sure there will be some serious tweaking action the next week(s) [img]/images/graemlins/wink.gif[/img] it's got the graphic eq btw. any ideas how to start? afaik those older boogies have pre-preamp tone controls, so the bass has to be set fairly low, right? and the basic "V" curve is said to work really well, isn't it? any further ideas how to get a good (somewhat old metallica-esque, or dream theater) sound?
feature-wise, it definitely fills the bill. 2 channels (3, if you count the footswitchable graphic eq....no wait, four, but the push option on the rhythm channel isnt footswitchable), good cleans, and obviously pretty american sounding gain. btw, my main sound is actually not THAT distorted, so i dont think a lack of gain could be an issue.
