I have been playing in clubs for years and I can tell you from experience, unless you play in very large auditoriums, you will never need a 2 X 12. They do sound fuller than a 1 X 12, but they weigh a ton. Trust me, you will get tired of hauling that thing around real quick. The 1 X 12 50 watt version will be more than plenty for any club you play, and if you do happen to play some huge hall or a very large crowd, you just mic it into your PA.

Used to be everybody wanted the huge impressive stack on stage. And some bands still do that. But today, bands are going with smaller, more portable gear. Even pros like Eric Clapton and Neil Young use small portable amps now.

That is just my 2 cents, but your back will thank me later. :D]]> Live Sound Wes Inman https://guitarnoise.forum/live-sound/clueless/#post-287383 https://guitarnoise.forum/live-sound/clueless/#post-287282 Wed, 02 Apr 2008 15:22:18 +0000 Live Sound almann1979 https://guitarnoise.forum/live-sound/clueless/#post-287282 https://guitarnoise.forum/live-sound/clueless/#post-287280 Wed, 02 Apr 2008 15:00:09 +0000 http://www.micromusic.co.uk/Productlist.aspx?aid=39

The problem with a brand being called 'Vintage' - you google search, and get a bunch of '60s strats instead. :lol:

Anyways, found that by accident as it happens. Seems like it may be a decent wood, ubut I'd still consider a pup change (bear in mind I quite possibly have pup GAS right now though).

+1 Wes's suggestion on the EQ - I've yet to own one, so I never think to suggest it, but a recent discussion with him has led me to add it to my 'to buy' list for recording at least, and he knows what he's talking about, imho.

right amps.........one thing I will say is this - DON'T buy it from gear4music. Seriously. I'm just about to phone them up (again) to complain about my keyboard (again) which ought to have arrived over a month ago. I'm supposed to be here when its delivered to sign for it, only they've changed the delivery date at the last minute every day for over a week now. Before that, the delivery date would change roughly once a week/once every 4 days. :shock: Apparently no 'out of stock' issue for this, either. They're honestl the worst company I've dealt with and, if I hadn't had positive online experiences at places like thomann.de, I'd be buying all my stuff locally. Online, I've thomann.de, DV247, Andertons, and Soundslive have been good companies, in my experience. Just saying, since ya linked to gear4music's site.

the amp itself - yeah, I've heard good things about it, although I've yet to use one for a good period of time myself. Peavey amps are generally solidly built, quality amps, too. But I'll shut up now and let owners/users of the amp comment. Just couldn't let ya order from that site without warning you. By the time your amp turned up, you'd be about ready for a Fender '57 Twin. :shock: :lol:

However, i work in a school and the amp belongs to them and it is on a limited loan - so i must buy a new one whatever else happens.
i have had my eye on one of these

any ideas on them??]]> Live Sound almann1979 https://guitarnoise.forum/live-sound/clueless/#post-287259 https://guitarnoise.forum/live-sound/clueless/#post-287027 Mon, 31 Mar 2008 07:12:40 +0000
A couple of other notes. Seymour Duncan has a program over here. Buy an have them installed. Don't Like 'em? They'll give you replacements. All's you pay for is the tech's time. I think they even give you 30 days to try them out before the deal is over.

Oh, as has been said, Tube Amps rule!!! I've got tube amp with a few pedals and love it. Still have my digitalthing going on in the office though. Boss GT-6 plugged into a Fender FM212R.

That EQ thing Wes is talking about makes a difference on anything. Doubt you'd ever not use once you have. Cheap to boot.]]> Live Sound rparker https://guitarnoise.forum/live-sound/clueless/#post-287027 https://guitarnoise.forum/live-sound/clueless/#post-287000 Sun, 30 Mar 2008 23:36:18 +0000
Danelectro Fish & Chips

This EQ pedal is very reasonably priced, but works and sounds everybit as good as more popular "name" brands costing 2,3 even 4 times as much. It is one of the best bargains out there.

If this is not available to you, you might try the Behringer model. And of course you can go with more expensive models like the Boss. The more expensive models tend to be more durable, but if you take care of the lower cost brands they will last many years. The Danelectro is actually very durable and well made.

But an EQ allows you to more finely tune your tone. Most guitar amps give you Low, Mids, and Highs to adjust your tone. This is good, but they cover too broad a spectrum of frequencies. So it makes it difficult to get that "perfect" tone you are looking for. With an EQ, each slider controls a much less broad range of frequencies, so you can experiment and really pull in the tone you are after.

I can also tell you this playing with a band. You don't want to use the popular "scooped mids" tone where you crank Lows and Highs way up and cut all your Mids. This sounds great at home by yourself, but in a band situation you will get buried by the bass guitar. No, crank Mids up high and experiment with moderate amounts of Lows and Highs. You will think you have a brand new amp, your tone will come out and you will hear the guitar seperate from the bass. Let the bass guy play the low notes, that's his job. :D

So try more Mids on your amp to begin with. But an EQ pedal is a small investment that can make a huge difference in your tone.

Do that before you spend a lot of money. That might be the trick.]]> Live Sound Wes Inman https://guitarnoise.forum/live-sound/clueless/#post-287000 https://guitarnoise.forum/live-sound/clueless/#post-286947 Sun, 30 Mar 2008 08:58:59 +0000 Live Sound TRGuitar https://guitarnoise.forum/live-sound/clueless/#post-286947
