my dad bought me this as a gift so i wouldn’t have to use his amp all the time, but it’s like jacked up or something. does anyone here know if i’m just being an idiot and doing something wrong or if its broken, and if so, how i can fix it?

it’s not secondhand and we’ve only had it for like 8 hours, this is my first time turning it on. since you cant really tell in the video just how quiet it is, the sound you’re hearing is just BARELY louder than what my guitar sounds like when not plugged into an amp.

All the marketing hype on these SS amps, I hope the heads are not half empty with red lights in them. That would be unpractical bulk.

I got turned on by the ultra powerful and compact Orange baby amps where the Super Crush 100 was a turn off because of the half empty head.

What is the sense of going SS, when the SS heads are as bulky as the tube heads, just lighter?

Just got this from the guitar center as an open box unit. This is a hand wired tube amp based very closely to the Dumble Overdrive Special. Well, it's definitely special. This amp sounds incredible.

Pick up a shin-ei ps14 psychedelic machine today on the local used marketplace and this thing is awesome. Have been playing around with different pedal chains and what amp and effects to pair it with. Was wondering if anyone on here is familiar with these and has experience with some good pedal chains to go with it? It’s making me want to redesign my whole rig around it. The fuzz and modulation on it are top tier on their own but with paired with other pedals the potential for some amazing shoegaze and psych tones is strong.

Has anyone tried one of these with a good tube amp or have recommendations on a tube amp that would pair well with it? I have been using it through a jc120 mainly so far and adding a uafx dream pedal helped to add some warmth but I feel like it would pair well with real tube warmth like a dual reverb or orange amp for doomgaze tones.

My first tube-ish amp. Love it! The cleans are so good and the overdrive on the clean channel is also very good. Wish I got this first before my Orange Super Crush 100.

Heard much about dr.Z.

All my boutique purchases were a disappointment.

This is diffrent.

Great Jazz and folk amp.

If its good for anything else?

Yeah it does doom without a fuzz.

Its dynamic, heavy and loud. Great for fingerpicking.

Awesome attack! And plenty loud.

Itnwill work well on anything except, Metal and country

Hey guys, I’m wondering based on this sound what you think the issue could be with my vox ac15?
Thanks

I’ve had a Marshall DSL40C for years, but I don’t gig anymore and frankly, even at half power it’s too loud to be practical. I tried switching back to a solid state and it’s just not doing it for me. Anyway, I came across the smaller DSL20 and played it in the store in 10W mode, and it was good enough that I’m thinking about trading down.

But…I was doing some research and came across the Studio JTM combo (ST20C), which can go from 20W down to 5W mode, which is even better for me. I watched a bunch of videos and it sounds way more like my ideal tone than the DSL, but none of the stores in my general area have one I can go play in person. It’s more than 2x the price of the DSL20, and while I can afford it, buying it without getting to play it first feels sort of risky.

Long story short, does anyone have any experience with either of these amps (or even both)?

Hi there, im looking for a new amp, i wanna use it on some gigs mostly on bars and parties im in a low budget situation so... maybe a champion 40? Or a boss katana? Also i wanna use it on rehearsals

Hope u can help me 🙏

I was wondering which 2x12 cabinet would suit metal and other genres best greenback, V type, or g12 anniversary.

Already have a vintage 30 cab so please dont recommend that

Hi there
I’m a proud owner of a handmade Marshall 18 watt tmb combo. I like the sound of the first channel with the Volume and Tone Controls but the second channel sounds a little boring in comparison. I would love to get more gain to get a more rock like sound when needed
Was thinking of removing the mastervolumen since it’s shit anyways as well
I own a vox and have an ef86 channel modded
Was thinking to get something like that going in the Marshall too
I’m open for any Tipps ideas etc

Got this Marshall G100R CD and an Engl 412 vintage cab for a 100 bucks today. Got it from a rehearsal space neighbour who was moving out of his room and he didnt need the amp and cab anymore. Good Deal?

So I have a problem with my amps. I have two of the same amp and only one channel foot switcher what I would like to do is be able to switch both amps with the 1 foot switch. I just reached out to someone about buying a splitter and they told me that it was not going to work and would cause a humming with the amp and other issues. I was wondering if anyone out there has a solution for this because I don’t really wanna have to buy another foot switch. If anyone has any insight, I would appreciate it.

I've been in the market for a new amp for a while. I have Boss Katana MKII 50, but I was planning to hand that down to my 13-year-old who just started playing and find something new for me.

I've been going back and forth on whether to go tubes, just getting another Katana, or going the modeller route. I've been hesitant to get a tube amp mostly because I play pretty much only in a small bedroom, and I never really crank my amp that much. Plus, I like that I can mimic, if not replicate, different amp sounds with a modeller or sorta with the Katana.

But, I noticed a lightly used Fender Super Champ II Ragin' Cajun on Marketplace near me for what seems like a reasonable price, slightly less than what I usually see a used Blues Jr III for. From my cursory research it seems it might be better suited for bedroom players, but there doesn't seem to be as much in terms of demos and reviews out there.

As I mentioned, I'm a bedroom hobbyist. I usually play classic and alternative rock. I've just started to get some pedals and I have a couple of drives and a delay.

Any thoughts on these?

I don’t own one, but every time I have plugged into a Blackstar, I have liked the tone; particularly the “chime” that is near break-up. Can this be obtained with other brands? I currently have a Boss Katana and think I should be able to model the same. Any ideas on how or do I need to buy a Blackstar?

does the clean channel break up at all at higher volumes or does it stay pristinely clean? I want to have a sort of edge of breakup tone but use lots of drive pedals (stacking them) and ive heard that the dirty channel doesn't take pedals well

thank u

Traded my 6505+ combo for this 15w 5150 Icon and cash. It's better all around for my needs (and not starting a feud with the neighbors). Tried other modeling amps, but they were never quite "right". And an ISP Decimator to control the hiss.

Seen this pop up locally, they’re asking 500 for the pair. What are some pros and cons for both or general opinions!

Finally got my hands on this Vox beauty!

Hi guys

I've been doing some research lately to purchase a tube amp for bedroom playing only. For reference i have reached 90DBs with my current amp and my upstair neighbours told me that theu didnt hear me.

The more i watch Youtube revises the more i like the tone of this little head.

Im not familiar with this little tube head volume, so i would like to know if this would be ok for my situation.

Also im lookimg for some cab recommendations, i've read some good reviews of the Hesu Wizard 112 (Hesu demon), will It be a good match for the Marshall? And if not, Any other recommendations? I have an overdrive to boost the amp too.

I mostly play metal (from hair metal to modern metal) and i prefer to stay in the 500-600€ budget.

As the title suggests, I’m looking for a 15” speaker to throw in my combo amp. It’s a 70’s Peavey Classic 50w (silver stripe era) that someone converted from a 2x12 into a 1x15 combo. The speaker it came with has since been destroyed and right now I have an old EVM15L in there but the magnet on that sucker barely fits in this cab.

While it’s a very clean sounding speaker I want something that’ll break up a lot faster and sounds more lo-fi. Something more 60s sounding.

Any suggestions that aren’t like $300 would be a huge boon. Thank you.
