Great demo, I'm liking the Meteor very much, the Zombie sounds a bit too scooped to me. I just checked the price in Thomann and it's ridiculous to see it goes for less than a distortion pedal indeed, I'm going to snatch myself one. Given that the "OR" is in bold face on the Meteor logo, I'm presuming it's supposed to be based on an Orange, just like the Zombie has "MB" in bold for "Mesa Boogie".

Great demo, thank you. Question for you - since this is a solid state power amp, won’t the signal running into the captor x be too weak? Isn’t the captor x supposed to be picking up the load from a tube power amp? I’m guessing it works with the solid state since you used it, but I tried running a Friedman ir-x into a captor and couldn’t hear it, which I assumed was because it was hitting the captor with a solid state signal.
@MetalHeadProductions
9 ай бұрын
captorX is meant to take a load from an amp, doesn't have to be a tube amp, and solid state isn't going to be super weak. These do just fine. The Friedman ir-x is just a preamp, it doesn't have a power amp to amplify the signal, so sending that into the captorX wouldn't work.

I got a Meteor to push with a knock off precision drive and a Jackman to push with an Eyemaster. I also have a Behringer FBQ800 in the loop of both amps (one unit, stereo) and 2 Guitar Fetish Twin Clean Drive power tube emulator pedals, one in the loop of each amp. Both power amp pedals are in the EL34 mode. I have an ABY pedal so it's a stereo rig. Jackman hits an 80's vintage Celestion G12H-100 8 ohm I transplanted into a closed back 1x12, and the Meteor runs into a Seismic Audio Quake12 8 ohm in an open back enclosure from Seismic Audio. Rig sounds putrid. Orange voiced amp is super clear and mid forward and articulate, complete with low mid snarl endemic to the "Orange Sound," the JCM800 with chainsaw sounds all bass heavy and fucked up. Pair them together, and it's beautiful.

First of all, I find this video surprising! I was thinking about ordering a Zombie a while back but I have to say that... The Meteor pretty much crushed the Zombie, at least in this video. I wish the Meteor had a little bit better control of the presence, which the the Zombie did, but I'm surprised at how the Zombie kinda (or totally) sounded like a can of bees... Probably better off getting Meteor and and the newer, mini Metal Muff. There is a bias to favor averages of two amps, so I hate to say this, but a mix of both amps would probably sound pretty good, with the mix heavily tilted towards the Meteor. On the positive side, the Zombie did have some cool aggression. Also, we all use gear a little differently and have different chains, which could give yield different results, but I'd be inclined to go Meteor first, if I could only pick one. If for some reason it sounded really muddy with my cab, I'd look at the Zombie or get another cab... But good cabs cost more and cost more to ship, unless you live in a really good area for local, second hand gear. I'd be interested in hearing how these compare to something like the Stealth 50.
