FatHand Posted April 5, 2010 Report Share Posted April 5, 2010 Never mind dude, a lot of great books were written in jail.Or was it a lot of great hooks were written on some crazy ass Nord, good stuff.I want a Zvex NanoValve.That looks like a crazy little thing. I'm swithering as to add the new Roland AX synth (keytar) to the list. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HairyScaryMark Posted April 6, 2010 Report Share Posted April 6, 2010 I bought one of these at guitar guitar in Edinburgh last Friday. Rather impressed with it, so far.Suhr Effects - Expanding the Experience of Tone! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Soda Jerk Posted April 7, 2010 Report Share Posted April 7, 2010 I've landed a Marshall Shredmaster for 85 kibbles. I've wanted one ever since I started playing guitar, but couldn't justify the silly ebay prices. My distortion pedal obsession is getting out of hand.

Huw Posted April 8, 2010 Report Share Posted April 8, 2010 Buying one of these very soon:I don't play bass, but it'll be useful for recording people. Sounds great.Yeah they do sound great - the guy who plays bass in Citizens uses one and his just sounds like perfect punchy/ballsy bass tone if you're going for Desalvo/YoungWidows type sounds. Sure it can do more though.How much was it? Think I'll get one if I start playing bass in a heavier band. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FatHand Posted April 8, 2010 Report Share Posted April 8, 2010 This has just been bought, although have to wait 2 weeks for it which is rubbish. For any keyboard fans out there... this is what it's like. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's around 140 including the shipping I believe.While you're here actually Huw, you've got a Blackstar HT-5 eh? What are your thoughts? I need more recording amps y'see and I'm jonesing for some low wattage beauties. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Huw Posted April 8, 2010 Report Share Posted April 8, 2010 Aye, his bass is a beauty as well.Yep. Is it a Ripper or a Grabber... I forget. Lovely nonetheless. I believe our resident hoarder Scotty B has one too.Not bought it yet! But soon. It's around 140 including the shipping I believe.While you're here actually Huw, you've got a Blackstar HT-5 eh?

Good bit of kit. My only gripe is the voicing of the channels are quite different. The first channel sounds so great but it sucks a lot of bass out, the second one has more bass, but it just doesn't have as nice a voicing. It has what is effectively a guitar DI which is cool. Dying to hear if it sounds any good! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd be interested to hear the DI - most sound fairly lifeless and dull.So much gear to buy. I'm buying a Royer R121 this summer which is going to pretty much make me financially decrepit, but I wants it so. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

aNewFoundGlory Posted April 10, 2010 Report Share Posted April 10, 2010 had the tsl head for a while, but just got these two 30th anniversary straight cabs (: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Huw Posted April 10, 2010 Report Share Posted April 10, 2010 had the tsl head for a while, but just got these two 30th anniversary straight cabs (:Just out of interest, why did you decide to get two cabs? It does look pretty cool, but surely on a local gigging it isn't entirely necessary? If anything I would have though in places like Tunnels/Drummonds you'd end up losing a lot of your tone by not being able to crank the amp due to the stage volume being too high? Maybe I'm wrong though.Not having a go at you if it's sounds like that, just genuinely wondering why you decided to go with two cabs rather than saving the money on the second and getting a really good head/distortion pedal etc etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Soda Jerk Posted April 10, 2010 Report Share Posted April 10, 2010 When I've used two cabs, I've never noticed an increase in volume. Technically, there should be no volume increase, as you are still putting the same power into the cabinets, but sharing the load between the two. I've done it purely to get more presence in my tone, making it thicker, sounding less restrained, and just a bit more ballsy. It also helps if you put one cab at each side of the drum kit, if you've got a speaker lead long enough. Makes you guitar tone fill the room!

Fraser Mac Posted April 10, 2010 Report Share Posted April 10, 2010 I think the main reason he got both, is because blain ex-dead end sold them as a pair to fund his matamp order,Got a good price for both cabs too!A few grader/dead end shows we've run two 4x12 full stacks.not necessary, but certainly not a hindrance.

That makes sense. It does look fucking cool as well.Ex-Dead End?! That band has been through a shed-load of members.When I've used two cabs, I've never noticed an increase in volume.

Makes you guitar tone fill the room!I have notice with bigger bass stacks that you get a lot more presence which is what I like! Yeah running them in stereo would be the way forward, especially for a 3 -piece. We should start doing that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aNewFoundGlory Posted April 11, 2010 Report Share Posted April 11, 2010 yeah, as fraser said i got a really good deal on them, plus i did some research and turns out they were only made for the 30th anniversary year (1992) in limited numbers, so if i keep them in decent condition i'm hoping they'll be worth something, plus if someone was looking out for them in particular i'm pretty sure they'd be willing to pay more than 250 for one, so it was as much a financial move as anything else - slightly ironic in the sense that i now have 62p in my bank account until the end of the month. fantastic.for gigging i reckon i'd only take one, or let the other guitarist in my band run through the other one as he's only got a 2x12 at the moment which - although probably more practical than a stack taller than me - doesn't quite look the same on stage as a 4x12.

HairyScaryMark Posted April 11, 2010 Report Share Posted April 11, 2010 Bought a Malekko Heavy Industry Chicklet Reverb Pedal yesterday. How you finding that, so far?I'm tempted to go for one of those. Would prefer to try it out first but that might be possible in a trip to London later this year.
