goin'_to_the_PS

feylya

Moved.

Why do you want it? Do you specifically want a 2 channel amp?

goin'_to_the_PS

i'd like to be able to switch between a clean and overdrive channel

dabhoys

I learned there not to long ago that Mesa Boogie we're the first amps to offer channel switching and also the first to offer effects loops!!!

jcoote

if you were willing to pay the money i'd like to see this one in action

goin'_to_the_PS

hmmmm, are you talking from experience, have you heard it. i don't want you just pay for effects when all i want is reverb

jcoote

i heard a friend of a friend playing one (not the greatest guitarist in the world) and it sounded pretty cool for a practice amp like...ijsut have a soft spot for features

goin'_to_the_PS

played this in music maker today, it sounds pretty good.

If you dont need effects, get this amazing amp for a quid less than the vox. Seriously, go see mike got spiked live, Conall gets amazing tone from his tour reverb half stack. Pristine cleans, and lovely thick defined distortion.

nah don't need that kinda power, thanks

david

Eh, watts only means headroom, not volume... It probably wont be much louder than the vox, but it wont distort as much as the vox at a similar volume... crappy solid state distorting. If youre goin solid state, i wouldnt recommend anything under fifty watts unless it was for bedroom usage.

That tour reverb is perfect for you, three channels and reverb, no excess sh1te like effects.

It wasn't me!

Is there anywhere in these parts I can try a Hughes and Kettner? You've peaked my interest Dave.

hmmm sounds interesting

Not that I know of... Adlib, carlow have a H&K warp 7 in stock but its too 'metal' really. Maybe Instrumental stock them, I really dont know.

I'd say go with a flextoneIII, there's nothing they cant do! I just mentioned the tour reverb because theyre pretty good and thomann have ridiculously low prices for them... everywhere else stocks them for €500ish!

I'll try Instrumental next time I'm in. I like the Flextone but for some reason I just don't like digital amps. I don't think I'll buy another amp that isn't either a damn good solidstate or a valve amp. Probably valve too.

david

Yeah, the flextone will be great for me... I'm trying to get a home recording setup together so it'll be great for direct recording.

Im gettin: a behringer mixer/preamp, shure sm57 mic, usb soundcard (not sure what to get yet) and possibly some monitors when i can afford them

jcoote

that h&k amp is the one for u boss.and anybody who has doubts about the flextone jus needs to play one to cancel them out

david

Yep, I hated the thoughts of modeling amps until i tried the flextone. Now Im a line 6 convert!

It wasn't me!

I've spent a lot of time fiddling with a Flextone in Musician and I still just have a prejudice against modelling amps. They sound great but give me something with valves any day.
