    Something I've noticed wih amp tone. It's hard to pridict how it will translate mic'd through pa. But I've determined this much. Bedroom amps, like Line 6 etc don't mic well. Those amps mimic guitar tone you hear on the radio or cd. Amps like Rectifiers sound a bit harsh, but mic much...

    Ok so I know I've hadother amp threads that didn't get too far yet but this is where I stand right now. I'm happy to know that I have found the sound in my head 100% which is something a lot of people spend years trying to do (including me), and this is an Ibanez through an Ecstasy. Now for a...

    Hey folks, I have a rig that I currently use and LOVE (pod xt + atomic reactor amp), and I was thinking of getting another setup (perhaps going all-tube), since I split my time between college (in a diff state) and my home. My max cost for this is about 1300-1400. I play primarily instrumental...

    Hey guys, another power tube thread. Just have a couple of questions I love the sound my F-100 gets with its sovtec 6l6's. But i just need to know. what other tubes can fit instead of 6l6's??? has anyone ever switched the stock tubes with different model tubes?? Would there be any bias...

    Hi all - I need some amp advice. I currently have a vox ad15 and after 4 years with it, it's time for a change. Some background, i play only at home in an apt, looking for nice cleans and a 80's metal distorted tone. I don't like any of the other modelers out there. Looking at the following...

    Picked up an old Peavey combo last weekend, it's a Studio Chorus 210 (2x10 combo.) The distortion channel is noisy as hell but that doesn't matter because... you use a Pod XT Live for your gain :) So I've got it set up to get the sparking cleans of the actual amp (by having a completely clear...

    Hi guys, I have been playing guitar for a while, and I am looking for a new amp (preferably tube amp) that sounds good. For my current setup, I use the Ibanez RG 2550 Prestige guitar with stock pups, Digitech RP200 and BOSS MT-2 pedals. I sometimes use my Mexican-made Fender Stratocaster. So...

    Why is it that everyone is always stomping on the Quality of Crate amps...... Have they spent time with one in the last 10 yrs???? Do they realize that for 7 yrs running Crate was the most sold amp in the World....not USA "WORLD". I just don't get it............every model they make isn't GREAT...

    hi everyone i am new in jemsite, my name is sebastian. I am getting a new jem 7vwh from ibanez rules and i would like if people who own this model could help me out find the right amp. I have had a 40 watt marshall (no dfx) for some years now and i wanted to get another (not a new one as they...

    Having gone through (bedroom amps we're talking here): Marshall mini-stack Vox Valvetronix Line 6 Spider's (15w & 30w) I'm still trying to find something I'm truly happy with at bedroom levels. The Marshall has a really nice clean sound, not sparkling like I'd want, but still a nice clean...

    screamingdemon69 and I were getting a little far afield on the "New Marshall Stack" thread, so I thought I'd break this out. ;) I know... That's why I was so underwhelmed with it. I didn't think the clean sounds OR the high gain sounds on the 5:25 could really compete with those on the...

    I've never been a Marshall guy and in fact I'm usually fairly harsh on Marshall most of time but I finally broke down and bought a Marshall Zakk stack. I came home yesterday and was happily suprised by a UPS delivery that I actually wasn't expecting yet. I've never owned a Marshall stack and I...

    Can anyone explain me the difference between the following amps: Mesa Roadster, Mesa Stiletto, Marshal 1987 reissue. THis is what i think: Marshall: sounds good when turned loud, not exactley a bedroom amp. Stiletto: Marshallesque but more gain, maybe a little bit more modern sounding--> Andy...

    Ok, here are my amps, both are all-tube and handmade. They are not Boutique amps or expensive amps. They are one of the 2 popular tube amps made in Argentina as an affordable alternative to Mesa and the like. The one in the left has 4 6l6 and 5 12AX7 with a sound close to the one found in the...
