New vs Old
So I got a new ST-07 (like the one in the banner) to compare with Titan number 4 from 2005.
They're more different than I expected. The new boy is far more mid-voiced, has a bit of extra output & possibly a little more gain too. The old codger is smoother & more open sounding with fatter lows - generally more natural. As such, they're both in my setup right now with the new one being used for a lead tone boost & the old one for rhythm or both together for all out war. I'll do a comparison soundclip when I get chance.
Anyone compared the Blues / Bass voiced Titans from a year or two ago?

Re: New vs Old
That's interesting. I have found a similar thing with my new white ink Drag N Fly versus my '09 Fly.. The new one has more upper mids and is more aggressive sounding and a bit more gain maybe.
I definitely love them both as they are both awesome in their own way.
I haven't tried the new ST07 but have an '09 Titan which has way more low end than my old '07 Grey Hammerite Titan, which I figure was a 'blues' voiced one.. ( I sold it when the Sonic Titan Dark came out as I found it a bit too bright sounding and figured the Dark was what I needed! )
I have been curious about the ST07 myself, so will look forward to your clips!

Re: New vs Old
That's exactly right when comparing the old and new flys. I had an old one and I have a new one and I personally like the new one better. More 'fly' to love, so to speak. Dave is getting better, if that all all possible.Fuzzz wrote:That's interesting. I have found a similar thing with my new white ink Drag N Fly versus my '09 Fly..

I definitely recommend it! I now appear to gave a Drag N Fly addiction!Jim Goad wrote:Now you've got me wondering if i need one of the new Fly's to compare with my 2010 model!
I'll get some clips together soon now I have my new Mac & am getting over the bastard of a flu bug I've had for a week.
Totally agree! I was curious when I heard Dave was using new production transistors, as to whether they would still have 'mojo'. It would appear that they do. Very much so!Scott wrote:That's exactly right when comparing the old and new flys. I had an old one and I have a new one and I personally like the new one better. More 'fly' to love, so to speak.
