unbroken Posted June 11, 2012 Report Share Posted June 11, 2012 Holy.Fucking.Jesus.The holy trinity of bass amps. WANT!xxThe Orange in the middle is actually a guitar amp. It is a 50w Orange Rocker 50.The other 2 are bass amps, but I only use the Ampeg V4b on the bottom as a guitar amp.Doom anyone? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flaneur Posted June 11, 2012 Report Share Posted June 11, 2012 The solution to all those neck-diving SG/ 10 pound Les Paul/ 3 hour gig problems......... just bought a Leathercraft Big Softee guitar strap. Made in the UK, 4 inch width, feels lovely and sits where you put it. They have 'em at R'n'B...... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
girl anachronism Posted June 11, 2012 Report Share Posted June 11, 2012 Just got given a Tanglewood Orleans. I like it an awful lot. A bit different from what I'm used to playing, but certainly a very lovely guitar indeed. :-) 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Flights Posted June 19, 2012 Report Share Posted June 19, 2012 This may cause some controversy but here goes.I picked up a Behringer VD1 of ebay last week for a mere £20.Seen them going for around the 35-40 pound mark so I thought I'd take a punt and if it was shite I'd put it back on ebay with a reserve price of what I paid for it .However I've been pleasantly surprised by it. It's a very good Big Muff clone. True to it's name it's very vintage sounding, A really nice warm, creamy fuzzy distortion with lots of sustain. It looks the part too. It has a really solid metal casing and it's about the same size as a Muff.I know it's cheap and Behringer are known for being shite but I'm not planning on putting this bad boy back on ebay anytime soon.An awesome bargain.

colb Posted June 19, 2012 Report Share Posted June 19, 2012 I think Behringers are ok - I've got their Acoustic Simulator, doesn't make a sound like an acoustic at all but it's a dead ringer for a Boss Dimension C. And only £8.50 on Ebay!! Vintage Distortion pedal looks good - proper 70's!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And only £8.50 on Ebay!!Vintage Distortion pedal looks good - proper 70's!!I've got a behringer tuner which works fine but it's not a fan of lower notes. Years ago I used to have one of their v-amp multi effects. It lasted a good 2-3 years before it died, but in the end I was just using it for a tuner so I wasn't too bummed when it went.I had the Slow motion pedal as well which I sold to Alan Cynic on here. My experience with them has been that they are alright for light use but the construction really lets them down. They sound alright though. The vintage distortion sounds ace and the construction so far seems really solid.If they started putting them all in metal cases and upped the specs a wee bit they easily could rival those Biyangs and Joyo pedals that are going around.

So i'll be selling it soon......................... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We used one quite a lot on the Katerwaul album but never on it's own. We always combined it with another pedal. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TR!ΔNGL€ T€€TH Posted June 22, 2012 Report Share Posted June 22, 2012 I can't imagine that Berhinger Big Muff clone being at all durable, even if it is in a metal housing. The cheap components like the switch or the jack connectors are going to let you down too. Better off forking out some extra cash on a real one or a better made clone.

Old Gold Posted June 22, 2012 Report Share Posted June 22, 2012 The Behringer stuff has always seemed pretty durable - albeit not exactly rugged - to me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jaaakkkeee Posted June 22, 2012 Report Share Posted June 22, 2012 berhinger is shite. maybe it's jsut the tuner, but it's shite. shite shite shite. shite tuning scale (can't go very low), input is poop and it's just ugly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
keeno Posted June 22, 2012 Report Share Posted June 22, 2012 With all that shite and poop in one post I thought it was the pet hates thread for a second. I have a Behringer Vintage Tube Monster pedal. It is actually pretty good once I changed the shitty stock tube for a sovtek 12ax7. Wouldn't say it's amazing but only really use it as a pre-amp for VST's and on my solid state practice amp for distortion but it does the job. Build quality is actually pretty good. Built like a tank and never had any problems with it. However it was a £50 metal cased pedal, not one of the flimsy £15 boss knock offs. http://www.behringer.com/EN/Products/VT999.aspx Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flights Posted June 22, 2012 Report Share Posted June 22, 2012 My behringer tuner must be around 5-6 years old and it still works fine. It's a bit dirty and dusty but structurally it's clean. I love cheap pedals though. Something about them. I got this mingingly cheap phaser pedal off e bay. Turn all the dials up and it's a tsunami of swirls and oscillation. Beautiful.

Fraser Mac Posted June 23, 2012 Report Share Posted June 23, 2012 I was playing my Blacktop Jazzmaster, bridge pickup replaced for an SD Invader and the tuners changed for Plant Waves locking ones.But the bridge just vibrates the screws out so it's sidelined for now until i can afford the mastery bridge.I ordered a 50's tribute Gibson Les Paul that should arrive this week, All into my Hiwatt Hi Gain 100 + Fane loaded cab. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sam 45 Posted June 24, 2012 Report Share Posted June 24, 2012 Just fitted some Grover tuning pegs on my SG. The one thing that always annoyed me about the SG is the stock tuning pegs.Lovely! Also, i need to hear that Sunn amp! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
