I am getting tired of trying to decide, i need help guys, which of the three?

carlos grijalva · #2 12-03-2005, 05:51 PM

oh and add to the list: Carvin MTS3212 and change the Super 40 to a 212 combo..

Id vote for the laney, out of those choices.

But personally, a Laney GH100L is what I would get.

I have an 80s Laney AOR Pro Tube Lead 100, and it SMOKES ALL those amps you've listed. and alot cheaper, only about $300 off the ****.

The problem is that if i buy a head, then i will have no money left for the cab, so ill be left with just the head..

Well, I'd rather be patient and get what I REALLY wanted, instead of settling for something else I can have right now.

Up to you, man.

roland jc120, throw a good distortion in front (the amp's worse than poor!). the roland is incredibly clean and thats the starting point for getting some great tones out of your pedal(s).

vette6600 · #12 12-04-2005, 10:28 PM

have you considered buying a used tube combo, BTW?

carlos grijalva · #13 12-04-2005, 10:31 PM

i realised that a tube amp will be a big leap (i only have had 2 practice amps in my life!) and i think ill go slow, first a nice solid state amp and later on (when i have a job!) buy a nice tube amp, sorry if posting another thread will be a disturbance...

carlos grijalva · #14 12-05-2005, 06:00 PM

I can't.

the stores in Mexico don't handle peavey amps, only Laney and Randal...

oops delete this please, wrong thread..

I dont wanna pressure you, but whats wrong with big steps?

If you get a GH100. . .thats IT. Its not like your gonna have to or want to upgrade anytime soon.

You'll be good to go, as far as gigging, practice, EVERYTHING for a LONG time.

If you plan to become a serious player, then you will eventually need something with great tone and alot of power. Getting it now will be the cheaper option, because it will save you more money in the long run, since you dont have to keep upgrading.

Just save yer pennies and dont be too impatient and I think you'll be MUCH MUCH happier with your purchase.

Good luck Carlos.
