carvin legacy question

[newbieguitarmaker]

if i bought the combo legacy could i later add on an extension cabinet to make it a half or full stack?

[sirbrandon101]

Yes.

[newbieguitarmaker]

i've heard the legacy doesnt have very good distortion but do you think its enough to play like paul gilbert and satch stuff, along with vai stuff?

[sirbrandon101]

I think it covers that stuff okay. A boost pedal would really help though.

i have a ds-1 with seeing eye mod and im getting a tube screamer

Obvousily it does vai stuff since he freakin designed it and uses it for the past 8 years or so haha....

I don't know who the hell told you that, but I'd question their opinions.

[Tom Gilroy]

I've heard it lacks balls, and Paul Gilbert's tone is very, very ballsy.

Only with a rack set up, etc.

I tried out the combo and was HIGHLY disapointed with the dirty channel. The clean chanell was sweet though .

I returned it for a refund and went back to the trusty old Marshall

From you, and if it was as lacking as you said, then there's no way in hell it will tackle the Gilbert tone. Ever.

[JJEMMER777]

True true!!

I've even ran a keeley modded DS-1 through it and it still sucked.

Now - before I get flammed, this is IMHO, and I am entitled to that

[newbieguitarmaker]

so what do you guys think i should get instead of the legacy?

[Racerx2k]

Try the new Peavey Valveking. I actually dig it more than the 5150/6505s.

[newbieguitarmaker]

yeah my guitar teacher has a peavey and i love the sound of it so i think i might check out a valve king

[JJEMMER777]

Yeah, or try out the Mesa's.

If you have enough $ Cornfords are beyond sweet and of course there's Bogner
