Wish Mezzabarba Eric Steckle Signature Amp

[gregfischer]

I was hoping that Fractal would model a Mezzabarba Eric Steckle Signature Amp. Who's with me?

 

[jlynnb1]

send the actual amp and the schematic and I'm sure Cliff would love to.

Steckels amp has mega gain
If I was to try and mimic that and wanted to get close since we don’t have a Mezza Model
I would do the following

EVH stealth channel red
Change the power tubes to
JJ el34 and JJ preamp
Adjust the depth freq to around 99- 100hz
Turn on the input boost in the amp block screamer type and turn it up
A vintage 30 loaded cab like
Mesa or Bogner and recto large SIC ( impedance curve)
That should get you in the ballpark
Your going to need a gate
I would probably put one between amp and cab

To my ears (so It must be wrong lol) but that a kind of mix between a mesa and a bogner.
So maybe a mesa with bogner tonestack (xtcy if possible or legend) or vice versa and pair it with a « oversized V30 mega supersized cab » or something like that.

It’s based on the Mezzabarba Mzero but has more lows , low mids , gain
Eric’s old amp was a DZL
So a Herbert MK3 boosted possibly could get there to with a few eq tweaks

+1. Spandex and Hairspray scene 3 comes close but this would be fun in the Fractal universe as well

I would love a Mezzabarba. People claim they are some of the best sounding amps.

Be cheaper to just buy one of the other units that have it profiled.

I wonder how many db that is where he's standing..

Definitely with you.

I just recently fell down the Eric Steckel rabbit hole… killer player and his amp sounds glorious.

In general I would love to see Fractal add a few more amps off the heavily beaten path. I get it, every new amp is a lot of work not just initially but in maintenance forever. It’s hard to say which amps deserve to be in this thing. But I think there are amps out there that have proven themselves. It was really good to see the Revv show up back when.

Great player! But I'm so confused about what it is about his sound we can't get from Fractal list of amps within a few clicks with the right IR... Even Cameron CCV can give these sounds pretty easily, not mentioning other high gain options, while keeping in mind the clips above were recorded with phones.
