Soda Jerk Posted July 27, 2012 Report Share Posted July 27, 2012 They go for about £250+ brand new. I got one off ebay for £200. Steep for a practice amp, but they are just worlds apart from other solid state practice amps. Saves me buying a USB interface to record guitar parts too, which I was looking into recently.

Flights Posted July 30, 2012 Report Share Posted July 30, 2012 I picked up a KMD 100w Valve combo amp from Alan Badge yesterday. It's a fucking beast. The clean channel is lush and it takes pedals really well. The onboard reverb is outstandingly warm and ethereal. It's loud as fuck to boot! Sat up till 1am and didn't want to go to work this morning! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Old Gold Posted July 31, 2012 Report Share Posted July 31, 2012 Ladies and germs, Custom 195.This thing is so Doomy. When you crank the Master and hit the guitar strings, it feels like the amplifier is sucking in all that's wholesome in the world and turning it into unadulterated tone.Clean sound really sparkles with the neck pickup of my Strat. Nice glassy sound. If you turn up the gain, it gets a sweet grittiness. Not so much bluesy... more like when Low play loud. Plenty headroom though.The boost channel and the OD are mental though. It doesn't gain up like a Mesa or an Orange at all. The OD control starts clipping the sound and it becomes this brutal fuzz. It's like getting shot with a nail gun.The above Master Volume settings are as loud as I've dared crank it so far. Thanks Verellen. 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HateEvent Posted July 31, 2012 Report Share Posted July 31, 2012 My Dunlop Custom Shop DCR-2SR rack mount Crybaby arrived on Friday morning, just in time for Bison recording at the weekend.Sounds fantastic, so much range, lots of voicing options and well built. Have wanted one for years. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Soda Jerk Posted August 3, 2012 Report Share Posted August 3, 2012 That looks badass. How does it sound with a Tubescreamer? Does it get some serious crunch?It's been a good few days for amp-porn. I love amps. More than guitars. Guitars are boring. AMPS! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PeteBuchan Posted August 6, 2012 Report Share Posted August 6, 2012 Good choice - I have the AC30CC-1, single speaker version of that head. I generally have it set up guitar>TS>amp. You can get some cool sounds out of it, ranging from really warm clean to some brutal crunchy goodness. The reverb is very nice, and the tremolo is quite good too, although I personally never had much use for. As you will find out eventually, the amp is foolishly loud! I put a Celestion Alnico Gold in mine - epic! Only problem is that the new speaker is considerably heavier than the original NeoDog. The combo is now stupidly heavy so it's probably a good thing you went for the head version. I can't even imagine having to carry one of the 2 speaker versions with the proper speakers fitted!Pete Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The money you would spend upgrading it you'd be better off just getting a standard one dude.Affinty's are coming in at £154 and the standards are £209.
