I'm into alternative geometric punk with heavy neo-Christian / dark-matter influences. Should I get the soon-to be released Power Smasher "Gargoth" or the Britainicus "Erectus"?

On the one hand, the Britanicus Erectus gets a huge sound and a lot of sustain and has EL34s or something like that, which I love!!!! :love:

But then I've heard that the brand new Gargoth (v4.3) has thunderous low-end that is like totally brootal!!! And it does the Fender cleans too. :dude

So???

Oh...and I heard they're capable of doing that dumble thing, which I heard should important to me. Sometimes.

I'm getting this Crate vibe from your post, like maybe a wall of like 50 of the Profiler 5 amps with two 4" speakers each. 100 speakers man! Eleven different amp profiles! 250 watts of crushing crystal lattice matrix harmonics. Guaranteed to make the coolest Politician clips evar.

Noooooooos, you guys are stuck in the past! Since you are playing such wildly popular music, you will always be mic'd. All you need is a 1/16 watt Bambalino Supremo$t combo amp, with a 3" alnicodymio speaker.

Bambalino? Sounds kinda like that is related to baby dears or something? Plus 3" seems kinda small too. My friend told me your speakers need a 3" voice coli or something like that. Is 3" speaker big enough to have that kind of voice coli?

Amps with knobs are for losers. Tone is all in teh feet; it radiates up through your spine, through the strap into the guitar. But you need organic, virgin neodarnium vinyl for the strap, woven in the correct direction, otherwise the high end gets attenuated.

Ya...you may be right. I may need a new strap.

I'd go for the Erectus clone if I were you. It's called the Anglo Saxonus Implantus, and two cool features are that it has a Bedroom Tone switch plus a Soft switch for those afterglow kind of gigs. The boost on the footswitch is labeled "Blower".

And it's about a thousand dollars cheaper than the Erectus, plus the builder is a great guy.
