Omega Granophyre

[Whizzinby]

Filthy.

Reza getting some great amps the last couple weeks.

Love the Neural plug-in of the amp, particularly the KT66 version. Maybe my favorite digital high gain model.

Wish these things were a little more readily available.

There are some great tones in that box \m/ That tolex is a thing too Matching cab would be

Yeah I’ve never seen that variation of it. Looks sick.

Not sure how much truth there but rumour is Kyle Rhodes from KSR
Had a big hand in designing and building these

Interesting. Never heard that.

If these things were ever readily available I’d have probably tried one by now. The 5 month lead time always makes me squirrel for something else.

 

[HotRats]

Wow, looks awesome

 

[jimmy Biter]

Great sounding amp , love the midrange content of these

That’s the Obsidian I believe. And think Kyle builds those as well.

Wonder what’s the point of having the Omega brand if the dudes from KSR are designing and producing them.

 

[Deadpan]

Omega is it's own brand/company and built by them in Michigan.

I have a Granophyre and an Ares and they are quite different.

Don’t know what all was designed by Kyle but it would be no different than Metrolpolis building for other people.

My buddy builds the USA production BC Rich’s including the Eddie Munson guitar.

Sounds like a giant ass valve powered Metal Zone.

My understanding is Granophyre is based on a SLO preamp with a JCM800 style power amp.

I’m usually a big fan of Reza’s and dig his playing/riffs, but this doesn’t sound good to me.

Most of his stuff sounds like shit to me, and he’s pretty arrogant. Not a fan.

He gets a lot of hate and I get it, but IRL he’s a super nice guy, very helpful and knowledgeable.

I’ve never had a problem with him.

He’s a really good player with a lot of feels when he gets on it, and the chugs are unreal.

But to each his own, I’ve seen it for years and understand.

Perhaps he doesn’t realize how he carries himself online, or maybe he doesn’t care. But he comes across as a know-it-all, and something special, because he’s got a few connections. Doesn’t matter. I generally just ignore him at this point.

 

[Whizzinby]

Ugh. 50% down, 4-5 month lead time. No KT66 version.

Neural: “Port the plugs!”

Yeah, I don't think I could get the amp to sound like it did in his video.
