OT: THD amps

[wolfbone07]

Hey, I took some time over the weekend to play my 20th Anniversary Silhouette (Maple+HardTail) through a THD Flexi-50, and I have to say that I was quite impressed. The knobs had a ton of control over the sound (in a really good way) and the amp sounded really good from volume levels that were really quiet to really loud (best master volume control I have ever heard).

Anyone else have thoughts they would like to share about THD amps or cabs. I'm seriously getting ready to pony up for one of these amps!

great amps, very cool and versatile, and a ton of style about them!

if aussie guitar icon/legend Brett Garsed uses and likes them, then i'd say they're pretty damned good

hey. i used to run a THD Univalve and 2x12 Cab. that little monster was full of tone. it was only 15watts but calss A watts. a very capable little amp. the cab was great too. it had one vintage voiced speaker and one modern voiced. made for some lush tones.

the only reason i got rid of it was that for my current band, it just didn't have the clean headroom. i tried swapping out the standard power section valve for a 12AY7 and it helped a little but not enough.

still, superb amp.

what sort of music are you playing?

 

[wolfbone07]

I like to play tones that are mostly clean with a lot of punch, and I like just breaking up tones as well. Thanks for asking.

cool. the THD should suit your needs nicely then.

i can't remember, does the flexi have a hotplate built in? the univalve does and it was a great little feature. especially for recording with.

I have a BiValve.

Great sounding amp, and getting a bunch of tubes gives it great versatility.

Built like a tank, too.

Heya guys.

I literraly just ordered a Flexi 50 like an hour ago! I sold my Boogie rig as I am after more of a great vintage overdrive tone that I can drive even harder with pedals etc. I tried the Flexi and it sounded great even at low volumes.

It was a close call between that or a Cornford MK50 but I am a sucker for a great 50 watt plexi sound.

Like Michael Schenker or Al Di Meola
