Messages 3, Well, with the Peaveys you could walk into any local store and play one. I have yet to even see the new III in the local Fender stores. Bstring Member. Not nessesarily. High gain is cool and has its place just like 60s and 70s stuff. Give the III some time. Once its been around a while I think that it will have some love come its way.
Perhaps it is because if you're an old fart like me, you associate Fender amps with clean tones or swampy bluesy dirt, and a high-gain Fender is heresy, even if Eddie is endorsing it? Sort of the same logic that allows Marshall to put out some really crappy amps and still sell a zillion, as long as they don't try to make a purely clean amp.
You'd be surprised at the power of brand-recognition and perception. Couple that with the huge price tag compared to Peavey's version of a similarly-named and endorsed amp and the "Heche en Mexico" stigma, the rather large size, and you have a recipe for, well, I'm not sure what, but I'm sure it's a recipe for something. I'm not sayin' it's right, I'm just sayin' I think you are on to something here.
First, yes I am getting close to old fart status. Secondly, a Fender with this much power and being made in mexico I sometimes think I might have been the only one to buy one from that damn store!
The "We" were all these newer modern players who I've not heard of doesnt mean they aren't great and I was feeling a bit left out and questionning my ownership of the amp as well. It seems I had hoped for more respect for the amp since I was blown away I must say also The head box is massive and I am going to hate having to retube that thing.
I have heard a bunch of metal bands playing them lately and they all sound huge live. Ensiferum sounded gigantic live. I played one and loved it. I didn't like channel 2 though or I would have bought one. Channel 3 was everything I would ever want in a high gain head. Kelly said:. Messages 4, I wouldn't buy one for a few different reasons. Mainly his later tone is not anything I'd have any interest in achieving and that amp will emulate closer to his more recent sounds.
Secondly its way too Loooooooong. I hate big amps! Third in general I don't like millions of knobs and three channels IMO is overkill. The fact that its MIM is a bothersome detail but it wouldn't be that as to why I wouldn't buy one.
Finally I pretty much wouldn't buy any amp new. Each of the three channels has gain, low, mid, high, volume and presence controls, as well as a global resonance knob.
