I keep getting told since i want a nice deep crunch to get a V Jr , but I have two friends that say i will get more for my buck with a Pro Jr.....

I am in a apartment, i already have an attenuator, Metal Muff monster, and behringer EQ pedal.........

thats all i need for now but man all these tube amps and nothing under 40W or $300 seems to be right. atleast from what i hear.. But come one there has got to be a good one worth the bucks. thats going to do what i need..

I just want to play heavy crunchy rhythm and some lead, country and blues here and there ]]> Guitar Amps SoulofSound http://music-electronics-forum.com/t16187/ http://music-electronics-forum.com/t16130/ Sun, 15 Nov 2009 00:05:47 GMT I use a homebrew based on an AB6165 bassamn chassis, ch sw, all the dirt comes from the amp. I use a closed back single 12" cab.
My bandmate's amp is a hot rod deluxe, his pedals go thru the clean ch, a hardwire distortion, a pork loin (which I beleive he leaves on a lot) and an OCD.
We play loud onstage, like too loud. I switch off the master vol for solos so the amp is dimed, no headroom left, and I'm barely cutting through.
I peaked at his volume and master settings on his amp, they're around 3??!!
I also looked at the design of the clean ch of the HR deluxe, very similiar to my homebrew, go figure.
I know those pedals can crank out some gain but man is he loud. His tone is very beady and hard edged but I admit it cuts through everything. he's usually the loudest thing in the room.

I can't imagine his HR deluxe has that much more headroom than my amp, 2 6L6s. I recently checked my power output, I'm about 32 W clean before distortion.

So what's up here? He seems to have much more clean bass and low mids, and volume out the wazoo. yet the amp settings are low, all tone controls around 5.

Anyone?? ]]> Guitar Amps mlove3 http://music-electronics-forum.com/t16130/ http://music-electronics-forum.com/t16105/ Fri, 13 Nov 2009 21:57:28 GMT G'day as i'm new to all this; can anyone tell me where to get .047pF caps as i,m in Australia and have searched the net and it appears that noone here has them . the project i'm doing is a 4 band guitar preamp all i have is a schematic pic to work from it shows the cap going between the circuit and the tone pot , could it be a misprint if not what alternative caps would work many thanks Greg ]]> Guitar Amps selig http://music-electronics-forum.com/t16105/ http://music-electronics-forum.com/t16099/ Fri, 13 Nov 2009 06:55:46 GMT i have a fender reverb tank from a Dual Chorus (solid state) 2x12 and i was wondering if it is possible to install it into my orange rocker 30 or... i have a fender reverb tank from a Dual Chorus (solid state) 2x12 and i was wondering if it is possible to install it into my orange rocker 30 or make a stand alone unit like the one that fender makes. in the past year i have really been trying to simplify my rig and i want to avoid adding pedals unless it is absolutely necessary.

i have done a lot of fairly advanced electronics work in various jobs so i'm pretty familiar with this type of work though i have not worked on any amps before. i know it is far more complex than it would seem. i'm just wondering if it is possible and if so what are the issues involved? if it is not realistic to do this what are my other options?

i have seen tanks for sale on various sites but the info on their application seems to be lacking so any good links will be greatly appreciated.

thanks in advance ]]> Guitar Amps Savoy13 http://music-electronics-forum.com/t16099/ http://music-electronics-forum.com/t16079/ Wed, 11 Nov 2009 22:51:06 GMT good or bad idea? im looking to buy an oscilloscope and am not sure what to get other than 20mhz or better and dual channel.

First post and a quick question!

My guitar play uses a Line 6 amp, I do not know the model off hand.... But I can get it if need be.

I notice it has a rj45 port for connecting a line 6 foot pedal to toggle the effects. So since it has four channels and a cat 5 cable has 8 conductors, Is it safe to say that I could make a pedal using momentary switches on a rj45 connection?



Or could you tell me if the line 6 amps look for a 5v input or somthihng like that?

Thanks a mill. ]]> Guitar Amps nomoore http://music-electronics-forum.com/t15981/ http://music-electronics-forum.com/t15907/ Mon, 02 Nov 2009 03:41:26 GMT Hi guys,

I have a nearly-new Roland GC-405 "Tube Technology" amp I'm going to list. It's a nice little amp, but I wonder if it's worth more than I think it is... I've been reading that they're relatively hard to find & that some people like them more than the Cube series amps that replaced them.

Anybody have a clue what I should ask for it? (Please note that I'm just looking for info here---this isn't an actual ad to sell it, in case that'd violate any forum rules.)

Thanks! ander ]]> Guitar Amps ander http://music-electronics-forum.com/t15907/ http://music-electronics-forum.com/t15885/ Sun, 01 Nov 2009 01:52:36 GMT I am looking at buying a "72 type Kustom 150pa head from a guy out of state. Does anyone know the size and weight. I know I will have to add box size and weight

thanks
