Would you use this amp primarily for rhythm sections? How would it fare for solo playing?

There’s a triple GZ available locally - how’s the volume for home jamming with the mods? I had a MW dual rec, but had to use a fryette power station for casual riffage.

Lemme get that

One of the best high gain sounds I've ever heard, pretty much as good as it gets - filthy, grindy, punches super hard with a really insane note definition and clarity too. What guitar and pickups are you using here? Very jealous of your USA Custom Warrior in your profile pic!

Is this the MC2 or MC original?

1:53 vs 2:38

i want you to only play slayer riffs. your playing is legitly tight

does it hold a candle to a IIC+?

that wizard logo is cool af!

cant make out what ur playing

Sounds more like Death Metal! For thrash it needs a bit less treble and some bass like around 1-2 also maybe gain around 6

God damn good tone..

Thats a Mark III lol

Sick! You should share a Neural Amp model of it, they would be a great resource for other musicians interested in trying boutique amps Ps I saw you sneaking in the necrophagist riff there!

Sonds tight! Ola would still stomp a booster on it wouldn't he though?

any chance we could get a NAM of these settings? If it could be a NAM of the amp + IR of the cab would be even better.

Really interesting demo. I think traditionally double tracked guitars and fully mono signals still have a place in a review, even with this demo, but this definitely adds some understanding that I feel like these don’t necessarily bring to the table

Now I have to sell a kidney. Thanks

Good recording! The sound is more three dimensional. Well done. Sounds killer!

Reminds me a lot of a Krank, personally. Could be because it's scooped so much? Would love to hear these riffs with more mids!

He’ll Razor. So they made a product for worship bands. 😂

I DESPISE scooped mids but this sounded incredible. Might have to revisit my preferences. 😄

Sick tone:) I love just taking two mics on different speakers and hard panning one to each side- as you said, the stereo effect makes amps sound more realistic

Thank you for the demo. I personally think it is better not to add artificial doublgin, better to stay raw or to record double track, but that just imho. Great stuff, thanks!

lmao holy shit was not expecting to hear necrophagist from a wizard amp demo hell yeah brother

Neural DSP needs to make a plug-in of the Wizard amps because I want this but can’t afford the 6K lol

Very pantera sounding

Damn, thats amazing! Quite different than my modern classic. Nice demo sir.

I totally agree, the guitar tone on Garage Inc always stood out to me too. Free speech for the dumb is a crazy heavy tone.

Sounds killer. Not $6000 killer, tho.

No other clip of the hellrazor has made me want one as bad as this one.

I’m pretty sure Adam from Tool used one of these (along with his VH4’s/Marshall) when recording the Aenima album.

sounds vicious, nice job - subbed

certainly is gnarly AF!!! way outta my league price-wise...but man!!! i have to suffer with a mesa badlander 50W, a mesa mark IV, and a engl fireball 100...stereo rig w 2 outta the 3 aint bad...cheers brother!!!

love it. covet it. dont know if i really need it. have mc2 and mtl both from 2018.

Loving the content, I appreciate your research and history of the amp maker as well as the breakdown of what it really is. Sick riffs too!

That´s one mean, angry and reckless amp in a nasty ass-mood.

Sounds more like megadeth now

How would you describe the ++ mod. Im debating having it done on my C+ DRG

We need more crunch.

I own the 4th made skeleton key

Nailed

I have 5 of mark series amps, Green stripe, Red stripe, Blue Stripe and a a IIC+.. if they were vastly different they wouldn't have just swiped each version with just a magic marker swipe or a black dot or a + sign. The big difference in the IIC+ and the Mark III was the third channel. Mesa got noticeably different with the Mesa badging vs the Boogie badges. The Rectifier series,The lone star, Road King,Nomad, etc came later and did sound different... The stiletto was probably the most different being EL34 based shooting toward the Marshall tone. Even my newer Mark 5 EL84 based amp sits in my studio with the older mark III'S and IIC+ it too sounds really close even all these years later with totally different power section/ tubes. The petrucci amp is a modern Mark amp and you can line up all the Mark series amps and NO one in the audience would ever know the difference and most guitar players blind folded couldn't pick them out one from the other especially with the transparent EVM 12L black shadow speaker or an MC-90 black shadow. The IIC+ landed production in the right time to become the flagship vintage boogie. Thats when 80's music was huge and that amp was produced at the right time for the players who made it famous. it didn't make them famous. I would argue a Mark III purple, red, blue or green stripe Mark III could have been used by the players who made the IIC+ famous and those albums and concerts wouldn't have sounded any different. They just weren't available at the time those bands recorded those albums. They stopped the IIC+ when the mark III came into production. They stopped the III when the Mark IV started and so on....they are all great amps and tonally are the same. Most of those bands stopped playing the IIC+ and went to the mark III when it came out because the sound was basically the same but the 3 had a third channel, everyone loved that.

of all ur clips this is my least favorite / not my flavor but ur riffs are sick bro

Shit that’s brutal!

What a fierce tone. What guitar and pickup did you use?

It’s like eating a spoon full of sugar!

sounds great.

0:55 its just one of those days when you dont wanna wake up
