Thomann revamp

Doctor J · 22-09-2006 4:14pm #1

Thomann have finally updated their site. Quite handy features, including a user database, you can go in and search through all your orders and such. Anyone know if they've brought their credit card validation system screaming out of the stone age?

feylya · 22-09-2006 4:29pm

That's nice!

fish-head · 22-09-2006 4:30pm

I still hate their faces off.

feylya · 22-09-2006 4:32pm

Also, free shipping on orders over €200!

Johnny Storm · 22-09-2006 4:34pm

Hmmmmm. That might explain a lot. I placed an order this day last week and got no emails from them or text messages, when I phoned them they said it had been sent to the UK by mistake. They will "get back to me". Still managed to charge my credit card though.

PS I decided to stop kidding myself and ordered an Epiphone Valve Junior. :cool:

Good man. We'll need a thorough review

How about this: "Do you want to earn cash with your own Website? Become a Thomann affiliate and introduce us to your visitors" ?

I want that Warp pedal!

judas101 · 22-09-2006 5:54pm

its certainly easier to browse around and see all the stuff you didnt know you wanted until now.

d'oh.

nickcave · 23-09-2006 1:02am

seriously though, arranging all the guitars based on body types al la musicstore is utter b*llox. I don't want to sound too ignorant but I certainly don't buy a guitar SOLELY based on appearance. Shall I get my coat?

Giblet · 23-09-2006 1:58am

Did anyone else get free money from them?

feylya · 23-09-2006 2:03am

Yup

Nope. Tell me more please.

Kenny_D · 23-09-2006 10:58am

They're giving out vouchers. I got an email from them with my login details and a €10 voucher. Sweet. Gonna get me a big muff

OctavarIan · 23-09-2006 11:20am

€10 voucher woo! It's got 'pedal for my keyboard' written all over it

Niall - Dahlia · 23-09-2006 1:00pm

Yeah €10 voucher.

Wonder is the voucher number tied to your account or can somebody else use it if you gave it to them?

New classified ads section too, that could be interesting. Who wants to get the first ever ad in?

Nice spot, I looked it up after I read your post and I had to buy it!

LundiMardi · 23-09-2006 1:11pm

yeah i got the email with the voucher also... haven't thoroughly checked the site, but it's about time something was done!!!

LundiMardi · 23-09-2006 1:20pm

the search function seems to be a lot better, plus they have a guitar ''spare parts'' section too... nice.

Johnny Storm · 23-09-2006 1:32pm

No voucher.

They hate me, obviously.:eek:

Kenny_D · 23-09-2006 2:11pm

Just buying my big muff now. Looked up the Warp pedal and it seems really good. For €25 I cant resist

€100 for two pedals

Edit: New credit card system is much better. Simple to use and all done through the site. No more emailing ****e

Patricide · 23-09-2006 2:14pm

hmm interesting it almost makes me not hate them anymore.....almost.

LundiMardi · 23-09-2006 2:25pm

Hmmm, warp pedal + 10 euro voucher = tempting, someone please tell me about this warp pedal...? I'm too lazy to check

Kenny_D · 23-09-2006 2:44pm

Seems to be a good metal pedal

Reviews here: http://reviews.harmony-central.com/reviews/Effects/product/Hughes+%26+Kettner/Warp+Factor/10/1

Heard great things about H&K amps so I reckon the pedal might be worth checking out

Kenny_D · 29-09-2006 1:00pm

Just got my big muff and warp factor. First impressions.... both absolutely fantastic pedals. The muff is a bit of legendary pedal anyway so wont say much about that (nails Hendrix and Floyd). The warp factor I havent had much time to play with but so far it seems really good. Very heavy sounding pedal. Can see myself using this pedal a lot. Well worth it for €25

Eoin Madsen · 29-09-2006 2:02pm

Hmm, they must be on clearance, they used to retail in the $100 ballpark.

They do it with a UK power supply - that's pretty cool.

Doctor J · 29-09-2006 2:03pm

25 squids, eh? I'm currently in the market for a decent distortion for the times when I don't have my amp. Might have to check that out. They're robust enough, yeah?

feylya · 29-09-2006 2:21pm

Can't go wrong for 25 sneacht. Just got meself a Line6 UX2 and 10 Jazz III XL's for €205

Kenny_D · 29-09-2006 2:41pm

Yeah its a sturdy little pedal. I had a Boss Mt2 and I find the warp factor a far superior pedal for metal. Still retails for about £60/$80 on most sites

http://www.hughes-and-kettner.com/products.php?mode=prod&id=42

Switches:
"Gain: Controls input sensitivity and determines the degree or amount of distortion"

"Warp: Shapes midrange frequencies. Set to the far left position, it boosts low mids from 250hz to high mids at 1kHz. Set to far right, it cuts mids at 500hz with a slight presence boost at 3kHz"

"Level: Controls output level without influencing tone."

"SUB: Boosts the low end at 90hz. This is the resonance frequency of a truly evil-sounding 4x12" cab. Step on this when you want to put the pedal to the metal... Not suitable for all combos and speakers!"

feylya · 03-10-2006 12:23am

Hmm, brand new website, same old Thomann. Ordered a UX-2 and some picks on Thursday, order still hasn't been processed...

Johnny Storm · 03-10-2006 9:14am

I still haven't got my stuff either. Nor have they replied to ANY of my emails. They have been OK on the phone I have to admit but no actual results.

I doubt if I'll ever be ordering from them again.
