wel graham

its your lucky day.

i have a warp for sale (with the 12v adapter) for a paltry sum of 45 pounds

but tbh i think you need a valve amp. althoguh the avt has a nice clean channel, it sounds crap on distortion and doesnt have any kind of power when you push distortion through it.

Satch and Vai's ones are heavily modified from a guy called robert keeley
they sound totally different to the stock ones and miles better.

Quite a bit more expensive as well though!!

You'll probably get much the same sound from the AVT regardless of what pedals you put into it. I doubt whether you'll have enough clean headroom to project the extreme low end of pedals like the Warp.

What is your idea of a powerful sound? Is it one with more gain/bottom end or one with more attack, punch and mid? (which is my preference)
