So, Brent, Lawrence, Steve, Phil and I got together at the Toronto shop this time, to do another tone test. This was the first time for Lawrence and Steve played the TRIWATT. Brent obliged and brought his DR103, again for comparison. Guitars included, Tele, Strat, PRS, Danelectro, and a Gibson LP Solid Body.
The speaker cab was a 212 Tone Tubby Alnico 8 ohm. The speakers arrived 12 hours before so they were totally new.
I put up a mike and recorded almost 2 hours of material.
Calm before the Storm
Lawrence lets Loose on TRIWATT
Lawrence had never played a HIWATT so this was all new to him and it took some test licks to get into the groove. When Brent arrived, the whole spectacle took place wth the interaction of OD and Volume controls and linked channels. The results sounded awesome live.
CLIPS TEMPORARILY REMOVED
Our ears were ringing but I did get a good chance to hear the amp overdriven at very low sound levels. It was really nice and meaty even at low volumes. Quite amazing actually.
I think the OD control works so well, it is unlikely you'll need a VRM on this amp!
