I’m putting together some songs for a jam this weekend. Tonight I was working on Jesus Just Left Chicago. Once I had the solo down I started hunting for the best amp for that song. I wanted something where I could keep the guitar at 7 for the ‘clean’ sections and bring it up for the edgier parts, and no need for a pedal.
I tried the usual suspects: an old tweed bassman and Plexi... but when I decided to try the Wrecker Express, there it was.
There’s the obvious things about the Wreck that make this amp suitable for this song, like touch sensitivity and the guitar volume clean up, but those things aren’t exclusive to the Wreck model.
The thing, I think, that pulled it all together, is the reverb. It sounds like a small room with fairly quick decay, but it really gives it the same qualities as my kinda small jam room, as well as the song itself
I played for an hour straight, and it sounds great at any volume, unlike a bunch of other presets. I bet I could play 80% of my shtuff with this preset.
Overall I’m super impressed with Cygnus. !
