Opinions on this amp please! (1 Viewer)

[GO]

I've googled the bejaysus out of it and I like what I'm reading but has any one any real world thoughts on this?

It seems a good deal to me but..hmmm....

I really need to make this purchase count...I cant be dealing with all this head scratching..I just want to rock etc...

really great amp. It's a workhorse, sounds great, and at 350 euro? do it!

 

[GO]

Well now thats interesting Steve....because I just said it to me Da(who would'nt know a Sovtek from a Sputnik)that I was looking at this and he said..."What,is it not a Marshall?..what are you at?"He especially balked when I said it was less than premium amp...and he's fairly cheap so....

And I was gonna go,yeah you're right fuck it.I'll hold out for the real thing....but you have changed all that..€320 is fuck all as well....

 

[Goodbye]

It will probably be the heaviest amp in the world

 

[GO]

Apparently they are on the heavy side alright

 

[GARYXKNIFEDX]

looks like a bargain,but having not played it,is it "the one"

 

[GO]

well,having never had a tube amp up till 3 weeks ago..I dare say I'm gonna prolly love it either way

 

[GARYXKNIFEDX]

Yeah,I'm sure it'll sound fine,acceptable whatever,but will it really sing? Like if you're not 100%,how long wil it take you to recoup the money on it?


You're da is right too,it's not a Marshall.

 

[GO]

Ahh now you see..thats what I'm talking about..I want an amp I can make sing.....I'm not gonna rush into this so

 

[mark]

if you can, try it out at volume. you'll know pretty sharpish if it'll work for you. and steveamanakick always has great guitar tones, so if he says its a good amp, it probably is.

Being a peavey, it will be heavy as fuck. But that also means its built like a tank.
Its a nice enough amp but if yer going down the second hand route you'll get a deadly amp at a good price if you hold out and keep looking. There's tons of people selling good guitar heads on adverts.ie all the time, often at crazy low prices as they want rid of them.

Sounds like you want to get an amp you'll be happy with for the long term and wont be looking to replace in a year or two. If thats the case, yer better off saving yer cash and keeping an eye out.

I got this lad a couple of months ago with a flightcase for 400 blips. Got it off a lad who played in a wedding band, it was in perfect nick, total bargain.

Con..that is an excellent post and thank you..its made my mind up..I'm gonna do as you say and wait till MR.RIGHT comes along!

And by waiting my funds will increase with each passing dole day therefore increasing my chances of getting something AWERSOME!

those laney are criminally underrated amps. the 50 watt and 100 watt head pop up on adverts all the time.

 

[GO]

Really?I never really thought Laney were a decent make....must investigate

I think a 50 watt head is what I'm after so I can drive it without decimating the punters ears

 

[ann post]

moose's is a 50w i think.

 

[Space]

Nope mine's is a 30. That's quite steep a price for a Windsor imo and especially so in the current climate. I'd wait it out for something nicer.

At the same time the Windsor is based off the Marshall JCM800 which is a classic and I've heard some great stuff about the Windsor. I just think you'd get a better head better built for around the same price.

turn it up make your ears bleed then get the chlorofoam out and travel to the inbetween dimension. hahahhaha

Laney have made some great amps over the years but have dabbled in producing budget shite once too often. caveat emptor.

Like everyone says, play valva amps preposterously loud on any test drive.

You played through my one of these at a gig in the Tap aaages ago and, if I remember, you thought it da bomb- the 50 watt version is a stone cold classic aswell. Here, if you're gonna be around Phibsboro any time gimme a shout and you can try them both at the practice space

Nice one Donjo I will!
