My Sunn Rig is done!
« on: March 27, 2010, 04:26:18 pm »
I'll add some pix later:

Sunn Enforcer head (I've posted a bunch about it already) and I had a custom footswitch built for it. Re-tubed, new pot, and general checkup.

and just added today - a vintage Sunn 4x12 (8ohm) to go with it.

I tried Orange, Marshall and Mesa cabs with it and while the tone was amazing, it just didn't seem loud enough. It's loud enough with this cab!

Tone - heavy, dark, and crushing!

Cab needs some cleanup, I'll work on getting that glue off the front, it's old and dried so a little elbow grease will do the trick.

looks great!  what type of tubes are you using?  I just put in some JJ's in mine and I find the high notes really harsh sounding. ear piercing painful...

It's got JJ 6L6s in it. There are no harsh highs in this amp. Its just mean and pissed off sounding, really dark. I love the tone! It's got a growl like Matamps, Electrics, and old OR Oranges have. Everything is in great working order, so I am assuming that is the standard tone - of course I run the gain on about 8 on both channels and I play on about 8 for volume. I have the tone controls on about 5 across the board and in fact I've bumped the treble up a bit which I typically don't do on my amps. I'll try to make some clips and post them this week. Sounds really kick ass IMO.
