nash Posted July 13, 2016 Share Posted July 13, 2016 And it sounded dreadful. Really plonky and dead sounding. So I switched on my DG VMTD and it was way better. Do they all sound like that? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Roland Rock Posted July 13, 2016 Share Posted July 13, 2016 Many rate the Orange Biscuit Tin really highly. I suppose it's a matter of personal taste - I struggled to get a tone I liked from it. It's not a flexible amp, so if the baked-in tone is your thing, great. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chevy-stu Posted July 13, 2016 Share Posted July 13, 2016 I really like mine, and found it the best lightweight substitute I tried for my Mesa 400+. It does have one sound, which can be a bit edgy for some, and doesn't have the effortless sub capacity of the Mesa, but it works for me..

Jono Bolton Posted July 13, 2016 Share Posted July 13, 2016 I used one for a couple of gigs back in May while my head was being repaired and I hated it. I spent a good while trying to dial in a tone I liked on the first night and came up with nothing, so the following night I just plugged in and played. It sounded better the second night but still not to my liking. I was using my Precision and the bassist from the band we were playing with was using a Jazz and it sounded better.

Cat Burrito Posted July 13, 2016 Share Posted July 13, 2016 I used one solidly for a few years and loved it. I guess they are like Marmite but as old school tones are my thing it totally delivered for me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lozz196 Posted July 13, 2016 Share Posted July 13, 2016 Yep def marmite, I had one and needed a Sansamp with it to get the sound I wanted, but I heard Burrito use his a couple of times with different bands and it sounded perfect in both - and the bands were very different to each other indeed.

Bigwan Posted July 14, 2016 Share Posted July 14, 2016 I really liked the Terrors I had (had 2 at different times). I would like another but I'd worry it would be too much vintage at once with the Barefaced 2x10. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dannybuoy Posted July 14, 2016 Share Posted July 14, 2016 The EQ, while limited, needs to be set correctly to get the best out of it. I understand it's closest to flat with the bass and treble all the way down and the Mus all the way up. I max my mids, bass at 9 o'clock and treble at 2 o'clock. Still, I nearly always put some kind of dirt pedal before it to get the sound I want! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Handwired Posted July 16, 2016 Share Posted July 16, 2016 I liked mine, one sound as mentioned, very vintage. Love it or hate it I've never heard one described as plonky or dead! maybe there was a fault with the one you tried. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bassmachine2112 Posted July 16, 2016 Share Posted July 16, 2016 Hiho ,once you sus what flat is -the only way is up and they love pedals.I,ve used my one for 3 1/2 years now and it always delivers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dan Dare Posted July 16, 2016 Share Posted July 16, 2016 The one I tried had a marked midrange clang you couldn't get rid of. Not my cuppa tea. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Iheartreverb Posted July 17, 2016 Share Posted July 17, 2016 Love mine. The minute I turned it on and without playing with gain or EQ it was exactly what I wanted and had so much. Ore character than the SVT 7 Pro it replaced. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
