came in today, sounds and plays awesome! Only two things Ive noticed so far is: 1. Pick-up selector switch broke off during shipping. 2. High e string seems to slip off the neck and get caught easily.

that second one is awesome!

jeez, the Blachearts seemed to be out of stock everywhere...

ya, I was thinking about that too. I know Danelectro pedals are frowned on, my friend has two, one died, the others not great imo. But theres an eq one called "fish and chips" thats only $30, and actually has pretty good reviews.. Im thinking of getting that and a Rat2 OD/distortion.

^ thats whats at my house right now, its my friends, we use it for band practice. I personally dont like it much...

Thats a good point. See, I guess my thinking is, If I buy the Blackheart, Id have a nice practice amp/recording amp. Sure Ill need some pedals, but say I want a louder amp or something different later on. The pedals will still be usefull. And I will still have a great practice amp. I dunno...

Well, I realised Ive tried out that vox before in a music shop. I dunno, I didnt play around with it too much, but it just seemed.. like too much. I dont think I would use even a quarter of the stuff that was on there... I dunno, I guess I should give it another try.

ya, its final now. Purchased. It wasnt a buy it now, but I sent him a message offering him $250 and he didnt hesitate. Shoulda went for $225 :D , I know Im greedy... friggen $40 for shipping though... Im too used to musiciansfriends free shipping.

If I can get sounds similar too that with maybe one or two pedals, I think Ill go with the Blackheart. If not, Ill keep looking, check out that Vox and that Orange. Thanks a lot.

ok, I think it will help if I post some clips of some of the tones I wanna get, if anyone will be so kind to listen to them and give me recs. cuz I think Im being a little misleading when I say "punk". https://youtube.com/watch?v=Q7TD4HTOF4Y&feature=related...

ya, I saw that. I have a feeling its going to be slightly out of my price range... sixteen year old kid whos living off his money he made from his summer job. I still need to buy a car lol, but Im spending it on this stuff... see what musicll do to you!? *pointed towards surfmasters post*

The only thing thats throwing me off is the no reviews thing, and the epiphone has some reviews... but the blackheart looks exactly what Im looking for... Im so tempted to just buy it, but that seems foolish...

The epiphone seems to have great reviews... I cant find any customer reviews on the Blackheart though.

ya, I figured that. What pedals do you reccomend? The guitarist in the band I play drums in has a Boss Ds-1 that seems like it would be an alright pedal, if you get it set right. Maybe a Tubescreamer? Any more amp recs would be great to. Wanna get as many options as possible.

woah, nice! Elliott Smith Nick Drake Isaac Brock For lyrics at least, but really everything I listen to influences me in one way or another.

for playing rock/hard rock/ punk/ gen alt. I was reccomended the Blackheart BH5H and BH112 Half Stack in my other topic as well as the Epiphone Valve Junior Half Stack. Will either of these suit my needs? I like that the Blackheart one has the bass/mid/treble controls... What else would you...

Im going to make a new topic about this..

Well, I definately am not going to be playing blues, not a fan... Im intrigued by that black heart one. I like that it has the bass, mid, and treble controls. Has anyone played this one? What kind of tones will I be able to get out of it? Thanks so much everyone...

Will do. Now, for another question since you guys were so helpful :) What do you think of this amp? http://www.musiciansfriend.com/product/Peavey-ValveKing-Royal-8-Tube-Guitar-Combo-Amp?sku=481661 Again, I will basically only be using it for recording, so I dont think the small size should...

well, I think I found a deal on a Tradition. $250 plus shipping. Comes with a hardshell case.
