Just wanted to share my current Guitar purchase over Ebay experience and maybe get some advice since I am sure many here have purchased guitars over Ebay before. What really sucks about this is that this was my first Ebay purchase so I can tell you my experience has not been a fond one. Back...

My first tube amp was a Laney Pro tube 50. I was playing metal, and I had the oportunity to plug into a Randall RG100. I sold my Laney to fund purchasing the Randall. It was the amp that Dimebag later made famous. It was amazing for Metal. But if you were looking for the soft clipping sound...

I messed with a couple some. It's kind of a mixed bag with this amp. I liked the clean, very pristine. The distortion was, ehhh. Not bad. Very tight but not very thick. I have actually read they have the tube screamer circuit in the overdrive channel, but that was just some poster on a forum...

Yeah, I have been browsing the web continually since I posted this and I keep coming back to that one. You really think 3 is a crazy requirement? I intend on using the gain from my amps preamp section. So if I have it strictly in the loop, that kind of negates effects like the compressor that...

So far that seems like the one I am looking at. I know it's not going to be Perfect, but I think it could be good enough. It seems to have all the features I want. My only hesitation with this is I am currently borrowing a buddies Line 6 DL4. I hate it! I would only use it in a parrallel loop...

I looked up the 500 but unfortunately it looked like all effects would go through the loop of your amp or in front. Also, I don't think it allowed for amp channel switching.

I am having a hard time weeding through all the different multi-effects units out there. I figure there is probably a lot more knowledge on this board then I posses. Here is my criteria. 1. 400-600$ (or less) 2. Must have midi to support Channel switching on my amp. Both my amps allow for...

The Road King can be a bear. But it is a Killer amp. That said the only reason I have one was I found one used that was selling for an ungodly low price. I love it and all and wouldn't trade it for anything, but I would be just as happy with a Roadster, and probably more so with a Roadster...

To be honest, I have yet to hear a single small tube amp, be it the fender champ, the black heart, the Tiny Terror (ok, this one does kick ass though) that sounds as good at bedroom volumes as my Mark IV. Period. So sweat spot or not, I have yet to hear a small amp at it's best sound as good as...

I recommend the 6505 series. As others have mentioned, it is the new name for the 5150 series since Eddie left Peavey. This things sole purpose in life is metal, and it does it very well! Here is a 212 combo. Your buddy will drowned out the entire band, drummer and all if he show chooses...

While I appreciate the pros of a low wattage amp, I think there is more to high wattage then just volume, especially if you not after power amp distortion I like to play a little blues and classic rock but mostly Metal, and Metal is where the higher wattage makes a difference feel wise. I have...

I played on a triple yesterday at guitar center. I was pretty impressed with how good it sounded on low volume in modern. Of course there is that fizz that only goes away when you crank it(I think this is why the Rectos get the bad rap for fizz). But atleast with the dual it is long gone buy...

You might want to post this question on the Boogie Board.

I own a Road King and I love it. However I get were you are coming from with all the buttons and switches. I was saving up for a Roadster which is the waterdown version of the roadking, but I just had an incredible deal fall in my lap on the Roadking. I do like being able to switch between...

Fair enough. Mesa's aren't for everybody. They can be more difficult then other amps to dial in, especially the rectifier series. And if the tone is not for you, all the customer service in the world won't make a difference. The first time I ever played a Mesa, I initially hated it. I really...

A while ago a poster made a thread about why they disliked Mesa. This thread is NOT a dig on that poster. That poster happens to be one of the most helpfull posters on this board. I just wanted to share my thoughts and experience on Mesa. I own two Mesa amps. A Road King and a Mark IV. Both...

Yeah, I have had the displeasure of assualting my ears with the triple X as well. I don't get it, because I think the peavey 6505 is a great amp (with the gain way down). And I have actually started warming up to the valve king as of late. One thing with both the triple X and the 6505. They...

A LOT! The combo is 98 lbs, the head is 57 lbs My Roadking was originally a combo that I converted to a head. I just wasn't crazy about the sound coming out with the open back cab and C90's so I went with the closed back rectifier cab with the vintage 30's. At that point I went ahead and did a...

I just got a great deal on a Mesa Mark IV to go along with my Mesa Dual Rec Roadking . I can tell those of you who don't like Mesa because of the Rectifier series might love the Mark IV. It is a very different amp then the Rectifiers. I love both though;-) Here are two Mark IV clips that I...

I was in there a week ago and went through 3 amplifiers before I found one that worked so I could try out the guitar I was looking at. I go in the silent room all the time and always check to see that the heads are attached to cabs before I turn them on. 100% of the time I find guitar heads...
