Today I went to set up my gear for tonight's gig at The Royal Oak where we play every Thursday in Barlborough, not far from my home.
It's more of a get together rather than a serious gig for Past Masters, as we try different stuff and often have deputy members in the band when someone is missing doing a 'proper' gig, but we enjoy it which is what music should be about.
I decided to take my TVS3 to use with my new Fender amp and Rapier 33 reissue, just to see if I would be even more impressed, having checked out the Rapier last week when I bought it. We ran through Apache, Theme For Young Lovers, Wonderful Land and Going Home and compared the Zoom G5n which sounds great, with my TVS3.
To use the term 'chalk and cheese' would be very accurate because just by switching from the Zoom to the TVS3, everything else set the same, there was a magic that filled the air that made us gasp with disbelief at the difference in sound quality. I remember Spike once describing the TVS, saying that it 'sings' and that is what we all thought when I switched from the Zoom to the TVS3. As I said the Zoom sounds great and unless you hear the two immediately one after the other you possibly wouldn't remember, but it was a massive eye opener for us today. I now understand what people pay the money for when buying a TVS3.
