Justin Posted January 11, 2014 Posted January 11, 2014 orange I would love an orange amp, but they all seem really expensive.. Quote
Pussay Patrol Posted January 11, 2014 Posted January 11, 2014 Are the tiny/dark terror ones outside your range? They're good. I like Vox but its mostly not as good as Orange/Mesa for punk Quote
Justin Posted January 11, 2014 Posted January 11, 2014 Are the tiny/dark terror ones outside your range? They're good. I like Vox but its mostly not as good as Orange/Mesa for punk I was looking for something more in the $300 to $400 range, but I could save up a little longer for one of those. Which would you suggest for mostly punk stuff? Quote
Pussay Patrol Posted January 15, 2014 Posted January 15, 2014 I'd try save some more to be honest...get a good tube amp and you'll never really need to upgrade again. Lately I'm liking the rectifiers, Egnater Rebel and the Tiny/Dual Terror. The dark one is more metal/grungy. I'm after heads though since I have a few cabs, you could probably save some money getting a combo instead but I haven't really looked into them... Be careful but buying second hand is a really good idea. You can get some awesome amps for less than half new price sometimes Quote
Justin Posted January 19, 2014 Posted January 19, 2014 Would you still recommend vox even though they aren't as good as oranges? Quote
Pussay Patrol Posted January 19, 2014 Posted January 19, 2014 They are a great brand just for American punk/pop punk the sound is a bit harsh trebly or something..at least on my amp. I have to spend ages fiddling with settings on my amp to get it to sound good for the average American pop punk sound. Quote
Speedo Posted January 20, 2014 Posted January 20, 2014 So, for this song we tracked the main rhythm with a Blackstar. I had never used one before, I was pleasantly surprised. Anyone else ever use one? Quote
Pussay Patrol Posted January 20, 2014 Posted January 20, 2014 I have that amp. The clean tone is surprisingly nice for a tiny amp but the distortion...man not good, I'll probably trade it in soon haha. I bought it back when I didn't really care about trying before buying and learned my lessonHeard good things about their high end stuff though Quote
Speedo Posted January 20, 2014 Posted January 20, 2014 We used a high-end combo. You should try that one next time you go to the music store. Its got a setting that has a Marshall-esque sound and then another that's a more modern clean cut distortion. It was real nice. Quote
bennett Posted January 24, 2014 Posted January 24, 2014 picked up a tele! it's a jim root sig. only the squier, but i got it very cheap and it's only going to be my backup/second guitar. hoping to eventually slap a maple neck on it Quote
Justin Posted January 24, 2014 Posted January 24, 2014 Bennett, I am so jealous of your rig.... Quote
Tyler☮ Posted January 24, 2014 Posted January 24, 2014 Squier don't mean a thing, dude. most squiers lately have been built pretty well, and the quality of the parts has gotten better as well. besides, the guitar doesn't make the player, the player makes the guitar. Quote
bennett Posted January 24, 2014 Posted January 24, 2014 absolutely! its a 2013, and i couldnt believe the quality/condition it was in. it feels like it was just made right in front of me haha. i highly suggest you guys check out the site www.reverb.com. its craigslist/ebay for just gear. i got it off of there. be careful though, i scroll through the app on my phone all the time and want to buy everything lol. Bennett, I am so jealous of your rig....i love it!! Quote
Justin Posted January 27, 2014 Posted January 27, 2014 anybody have any experience with the vox ac4tv? Quote
Justin Posted February 4, 2014 Posted February 4, 2014 double post, but i'll take that as a no. I might check out some blackstar amps when I go to get a new amp soon. Quote
Justin Posted February 10, 2014 Posted February 10, 2014 well I got an amazing deal on an amp today! Bought an orange tiny terror from a guy on craigslist today for $250! I'm gonna trade in my current camp to get a cab and then i'll put some pics up when I get that! It was a good day Quote
Pussay Patrol Posted February 14, 2014 Posted February 14, 2014 Dude, the tiny terror head or is there a combo version? That's an awesome price Quote
Justin Posted February 14, 2014 Posted February 14, 2014 It's the head, I haven't been able to find time to go buy a cab yet though! I wanna use this thing so badly!! Quote
Pussay Patrol Posted February 21, 2014 Posted February 21, 2014 Nice dude, buy a 4x12 cab off craigslist as well lol Quote
