If you ever get a chance I'd love to see the Ampeg compared against it's Crate cousin the GX-130C. The Crate is voiced a little darker according to the manuals, mids @ 900hz instead of 1k.

@micahj9828 3 года назад

I have the Crate GX-140C, basically the VH's clone brother. The mid is a bit different that the VH. It's actually called "SHAPE" rather than mid. It should have been called "SCOOP" because turning clockwise is less mids and counterclockwise is more mids. I don't know what the db range of the control is, but it is DRASTIC.

@skaldlouiscyphre2453 3 года назад

@@micahj9828 Those ones just list 'proprietary circuit' and don't give any details, at least according to the manual. Mine lists "mid 19db @ 900 Hz" In the Ampegs the mids are focused at 1kHz. I'd love to hear how mine sounds compared to yours because there appears to be revisions to the circuit over the years. The controls are aimed at different frequencies depending on the version.

@micahj9828 3 года назад

@@skaldlouiscyphre2453 I also have a GX2200 & it seems to be just a 200 watt version of the GX140 without the chorus. and stereo outputs. It's manual says 10db range @1kHz. (Oddly enough, it also says bass @100Hz and treble at 6kHz. What a strange spread.)

@skaldlouiscyphre2453 3 года назад

@@micahj9828 The early Ampegs (SS series) have the bass at 100 and the mids at 1KHz, but the highs at 2k, the VHs at 3.5. My GX lists them at 5, which is the same as the old Crate G series.

@psychodavee 3 года назад

Liked both amps… but the Randall has a little more going on and just sounds more to my liking. I’m sure both mixed together would be really good.

I am in the minority based on past cmts, but I like the Randell better. Just me \m/

I have an Ampeg SS-150 , absolutely love your videos on these solid state amps! I appreciated your take with them. If people tried these to their own thing without the dimebag or NOLA hype they'd love them regardless. Only thing I've noticed is the Ampeg's need a little more mids where the presence knob on the Randalls boost them so you can scoop mids.

@brokenlevelmusic 4 года назад

Josh WW thank you for the kind words Josh! and ppreciate the sub! Ya I’m having a lot of fun with them. Dude the Ampeg is so much fun, whats the difference from the SS-150?

@joshww2339 4 года назад

@@brokenlevelmusic I know there's a few Ampeg models 140-c , SS 150, and your VH150. I run my SS150 with a Fortin 33 but used to use a metal zone. Both are crushing! I think the ampegs need a little more mids because there no presence knob where the Randall has a presence knob.

@brokenlevelmusic 4 года назад

Josh WW oh cool, ya I hear ya. Have you heard of the Depth Finder by Amptweaker? Have tried it on the Ampeg but it gives the randalls some extra balls.

@joshww2339 4 года назад

@@brokenlevelmusic dude that's fucking nuts! I've hunted the depth finder forever! I even contacted the company. Their sold out everywhere! I run a Fortin 33 in front of my ampeg , looking to get a depth finder. If you stumble across one please hit me up! Dude on the real your killing shit! Your tone is incredible.

@joshww2339 4 года назад

@@brokenlevelmusic its crazy to me that more people don't fuck with these ampeg heads , their so crushing. Its such a tight blown up sound.

@fleshbomb29 4 года назад

I’ll take Ampeg for 100 Alex !

@Admiral_Bongo 3 года назад

Re-watched this vid right now and couldn't help but notice how the Ampeg delivers the same amount of gain at 4 as the Randall does at 9, lol.

@brokenlevelmusic 3 года назад

I know dude, In that other vid ampeg gain is 3-4 and od808 is at 25%

@teriakamoto 5 месяцев назад

I have the RG100es and full Dime rack and would love to run that 140 through the mix.

@Boogiethrash 3 года назад

Had the 140c. And the Rg before. A 6 band eq in the loop makes the ampeg almost twice as loud and tames the highs. Great amp.

@brokenlevelmusic 3 года назад

Nice, I’ll have to try that out🤘🏼

@prometheusfallen 3 года назад

God this makes me miss my VH140C! 😭 Had to sell her in the mid 90s, and I never should've done it.

@brokenlevelmusic 3 года назад

Ya they’re tough to come by these days!

@jamiethoms1708 3 года назад

This is really good content... hope your channel grows. The Randall had the best sound to me because it carries a little more bottom end. The Ampeg distortion ends up in on the sizzle end (they always have). I still love the old Ampegs though

@brokenlevelmusic 3 года назад

Thanks man! You’ll like my new video this Sunday🤘🏼

@KianF Год назад

i love that you cut the A/B in the middle of the riff; so many people cut it when they change riffs and it’s so hard to hear the difference

@brokenlevelmusic Год назад

Right on man👊

Solid State is Crushing. I love that shit.

@JSG-mw4qr 2 года назад

Both good. Either one would work. I bet that ampeg would pair well with a triple rectifier

@NecropsY1 11 месяцев назад

the ampeg sounds little more evil in the low mids, i really like it

@wethriveIn425 2 года назад

Been on the hunt for a VH150 for awhile, finally gave up and got the 100es.

@brokenlevelmusic 2 года назад

Ya there’s a lot more out there🤘

@phildbagrip 3 года назад

I thought the Randall had more attack than the Ampeg, though the distortion on the Ampeg sounded hotter, almost like the Randall would with a slight overdrive in front.

@nathanweinstein2766 3 года назад

Both sound beautiful. I have the VH140c and would love an RG100es or Century. May I ask what drums were used on this please? They sound great 🤘🏻

@brokenlevelmusic 3 года назад

That Ampeg was thick n brutal. Tasty! Ever check out the pedal version of the amp from S&K pedals, called the VHD? I own one and it delivers the same shizz.

@brokenlevelmusic 3 года назад

@untoldguitarist 2 года назад

The Ampeg sounds better then the Randall in my opinion. Tone is subjective, but I am sure many people also agree. The Ampeg VH140c/150 heads > Randall 80/100ES heads in tone.

VH150 easily, it sounds much more open/airy and seems to fit better in a mix, the RG100es sounded congested imo.

Both😂🤘

@thetribalist6923 3 года назад

@@brokenlevelmusic ha good to know! I've heard the Randall is super loud, which I always found surprising considering it solid state and only 100 watts. How do they compare to a tube head for loudness?
