amps

I’ve been looking at the Matamp series 3000 I don’t see much on it I was wondering if anyone has any experience with it how are the clean tones etc I’m not a doom guy more blues and rock

Hi All, Ive been trying to find a vintage preamp or something comparable to go DI straight into the pre then interface for recording. Ive listened to a lot of Mesa Quad, Studio, Triaxis and KTG-1 and they all have some nice tone. I dont do high gain metal music, more like Tame impala / Pink...

I was initially trying to sent this message to forum member @rjaneshek but I was given an error message that he had exceeded the maximum number of allowable messages. Must a popular member! My message to him was in response to a quite old thread that someone had started in regards to pairing a...

TL;DR - Is the original Knucklehead 55 more or less similarly voiced to the R55-12? - What are they worth in Australia? Years ago I had a Rivera 55-12. From studios to live gigs, everywhere I got compliments on my tone. But a bout of severe depression saw me sell it along with loads...

I have a DRRI and recently replaced the power tubes and a couple of the pre-amp tubes. When I add a boost pedal (there are 3 I've tried), it gives this noise that sounds like a phaser from the original Star Trek. Any thoughts or suggestions on what might be going on here would be greatly...

I recently bought a used AC15 for $300. I knew little about Vox amps and later discovered the speaker was an Eminence Blackheart 1216b. I am assuming the guy put it in in order to sell it to someone without a clue (like me). Will changing to a greenback or Alnico BLUE make a huge difference...

Heya, folks! I'm looking for a 2-channel amp and hope you can help. I play various shades of rock 'n roll: everything from raunchy punk to crunchy indie to driven roots-type stuff to clean and crisp... whatever! I don't think my requirements are too crazy given the wide variety of amazing amps...

I recently got my hands on a BE-50 Deluxe and it sounds amazing but I've ran into a bit of an issue. I can't seem to push the gain at higher volume and when I say higher volumes I mean 3 and above (3 being 10 o'clock). when I turn the gain up I get horrendous feedback. I've tried many things to...

Alright, so here goes. I have a Victory Kraken (50w) at the moment, but I’m not digging it. The clean sounds are great, but the switching system sucks and the gain is too harsh for my taste. The thing is, I’m super picky about what features my amps have, which makes it super difficult to find...

Good evening, move been going back and forth on tubes for a long while now (about a week). I’m looking for the bluesy billy gibbons growl. I play Hendrix/gibbons/KWS/srv style stuff. I play both strats and les paul/Sg through this head. I usually set amp to edge of break up and push it over...

Hello everyone, I apologize in advance for my poor expression in English and if the topic has already been raised somewhere but I think it is not so that is the reason for my inquiry. In short, I decided to buy Two Rock but the easiest financially and physically I can buy a used Two Rock studio...

Hi, I’m looking to buy a cab to go with my Orange Micro Dark. I found a cab I’m interested in and it’s comes equipped with an eminence 1258. I like the way it sounds in most of the demos I’ve heard but I can’t really find anything with people playing metal music and was wondering what some...

So last year i had to sell my CRS for some cash, and have finally got the funds back to get another amp. Obviously within the time I've had my eye on the Studio Sig and although I love my C.R.S. it was a bit loud at some times. So im curious if anyone has experience between the two in regards to...

Hi, I'm the new owner of a used Mark V 25 which I am very excited about. However this excitement is diminishing as I'm finding it a bit lifeless and "flubby". When I got it, I noticed it was a bit noisy so I replaced the V1 tube for a spax7 e the amp is much quieter now. For frame of...

Hey guys so I bought my first Mesa. Paired it with this SUNN 4x12 i believe to be series/parallel at 4ohms. Anyway I have a fender 1x12 40 watt and that fender blows this Mesa out the water as far as volume and more importantly head room. I have the Mesa dialed and even on 10 the clean doesn’t...

I'm finally in the market for a new amp! I've gone through several amps in my time, I had a Hot Rod Deville as my first amp, traded that in for a Dr. Z Remedy, then sold that for a Boogie Mark IIC+, then got a Supro Thunderbolt, sold the Boogie for an Orange Thunderverb 50 and a vintage JCM800...

There‘s a lot to love in this Mad Muse Studios tour from Warren Huart’s “Produce Like A Pro” YouTube channel. A very long vid, to be sure. But well worth viewing, in my opinion, for all the precious tidbits around interaction design, recording studio DIY construction, and, of course, gear. The...

I have had a VH4 on order for 5 months now. Anyways, I am building a rack for 8 amps I have at my studio. The dimensions say 29 inches by 12 inches tall. It is exactly 29 wide? Or Sightly over or under? Is is 12 inches tall tot he top of the handle? If so what it the height to the top of...

I'm just curious and trying to narrow it down and see which cab people prefer between these two 4x12 cabinets.... I play more progressive/post rock/math rock/metal styles. So I am basically just looking for a great all around cabinet that sounds good with any style and has tight low end. And...

Title says it all. I've got a 120w Peavy 5150 with a 4x12 Marshall running 75w speakers. I run my "clean" channel about 6, and my dirty about 4. Both of the gain's are up to about 6. I DON'T want to hear you tell me to turn it down, I've already discovered that my tone isn't what I want at lower...

Hello everybody. I have a Laney IRT-Studio guitar amp (valve 15W tube amp) and the volume knob of the clean channel is wrong: it makes noise when moved and jumps values (from a minimum volume to full power even when keeping it at low values and moving it a little bit). My dad is an engineer...

[Not sure what forum is best for this - but as effects pedals have my main concern - this is why I posted here - Mods can decide to move the thread if necessary] Here, thinking about what the future is for all the gear I painfully have acquired over many years, guitars, amps and not least...

I’m stuck in analysis paralysis I’m considering my next amp to acquire. Here’s what I have: Tony Bruno Super 100 (those Dumble tones) Fender Blues DeVille 4x10 combo (for Fender cleans a tweed dirt) Dr. Z EMS (covers my Marshall needs and can dial in JMP, JTM and JCM sounds). The two avenues...
