vega Posted January 8, 2009 Report Share Posted January 8, 2009 vega on these boards has a purple vintage modern head and an orange cab... BOKE!sounds mint though.Quoted for the truth. :O By way of advice, the the last thing you want to do is settle for a cheaper product, it really is worth going a wee bit further with regards saving up, where possible. I caved and bought a Marshall AVT, thinking it would be good. It really wasn't. This caused hassle trying to sell it on, and in the end I had to trade against something (losing a fair bit). If I had been a bit more patient and saved a bit longer, I'd have had a better amp. The folk on here know what they're talking about and it's well worth your time going back through previous threads about amps and the like. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dan G Posted January 8, 2009 Report Share Posted January 8, 2009 Just out of interest, is a tubescremer pretty much an all round yes from everyone? Seem like decent value for money and everyone seems to be raving about them.xNot decent value to begin... they are more like icing on the cake.If the cake ain't great, it's not worth icing it. If the cake is good... why not make it that little bit extra. With pretty expensive icing.You can tell I'm fucking starving.(I'd save the money and put it towards the amp) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Think how happy in the long run you will be with something that has a killer sound and you took a bit more effort to save for.Like Vega said, He had hassle trying to sell on something he caved in on instead of taking more time and lost money on it.keep browsing or calling the shops on the net like GuitarGuitar.co.uk and gak and so on. they get a lot of second hand amps in that they wont advertise on the net at times.

Old Gold Posted January 8, 2009 Report Share Posted January 8, 2009 I second the idea of going for a good all-rounder to start with, rather than blowing your cash on shit. Selling a pap amp is much harder than saving your beans for a couple of extra months, even if that's not what you want to hear.If you've got an amp that can be heard over the drums at the moment, probably best stick with it.

HairyScaryMark Posted January 13, 2009 Report Share Posted January 13, 2009 Not specificly for rhythm guitar but I was impressed by the Boss Blues Driver when I tried it out. I was in a music shop, interested in a Tubescreamer and the guy in the shop suggested trying out a Boss Blues Driver/Compression Sustainer combination. Tried out most of the other Boss Pedals also but wasn't nearly as imprepssed as these pedals. The Comprepssion sustainer sucks the life out of the sound unless you back of the attack and release times seriously but can make things a lot smoother and thicker sounding. Apparently there are modded blues driver you can get with more options also. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
