Members Yarbicus Posted December 4, 2012 Members Share Posted December 4, 2012 Okay, you {censored}s have me wanting to sell my Zoom G3 to fund a THR now Why? I have both and loves them so!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Mizati20 Posted December 4, 2012 Members Share Posted December 4, 2012 I have an old Line 6 SpiderIII 30 watt 1x12 combo that at this point I am convinced is completely bullet proof... has been dropped out of trucks, been a stool or step for 300+ lb men, and probably had the equivalent of a 12 pack of beer dumped in/on it over the years... for low volume distortion and just practicing you can't really go wrong with the Line 6 or Peavey Vyper stuff... and they can be found used on Craigslist for pretty damn cheap ALL day long...

Members Elric Posted December 4, 2012 Members Share Posted December 4, 2012 Lets assume I wanna spend 50 bucks or less. Have you considered giving up practicing? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Zozobra Posted December 4, 2012 Members Share Posted December 4, 2012 Why? I have both and loves them so!!! I really haven't found anything I want tonally in the G3. The FX are good and all but I'm a fairly meat and potatoes tone guy so I think I'd get more use from the THR. Hows the THR for high gain stuff? The G3 was pretty gash for that.

Members 100 watt Posted December 4, 2012 Members Share Posted December 4, 2012 The really sad thing with the AMT solution is you need a GOOD power supply to run the tubecake. Any weirdness at all in the power and it goes bat{censored}. So unless you have a good power supply already, there's another added expense. I spent a lot of dough on that setup and then stalled on getting a smaller cab to lug with them. Sounds big as balls through a 4x12 though. I still have a hard on for one of those. I still cant make myself not use my AMT Tube Magnum. Into the front of a clean / semi clean Marhsall, and even my SS Randall, it sounds like it's got a foot ling dick thats big around as a coke can. I should give Crunchtime a handie for swapping it to me. Of of the best dirt pedals Ive ever had. AMT's got their sh*t together Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

P1 + R1, either of them is good. Both together is untouchable. AMT is just that damn good. I kinda want another tubecake and two 1x12s for stereo pimp slapping the low-wattage tonez, but I hate spending money on cabs I'd only use every once in a while. Most of the time I'm plugged to the interface and listening on my monitors if I don't have the 8100 crankin' for br00tz. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm dyin to try the AMT pre amps. I took the master volume mod out of my Metroamp 68 Superbass Plexi clone (kt88's) & have been running it into a Marshall MF280B that Ive converted into a 2x12. I set the volumes on the plexi @ 1 & its loud as hell. I attenuate the volume with the AMT Tube Magnum, crank the bass & turn the treble to 12:00 (or less) & set the dirt to taste. Sounds killer.Bedroom volumes with a NMV 100 watter It isnt exactly "Marshall @ full tilt" sound, but gets me what I want. Nice & thick & still PLENTY of punch / oomph & a nice top & PLENTY of growl in the middle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Yarbicus Posted December 4, 2012 Members Share Posted December 4, 2012 I have had the M1, R1, P1, and B1 AMT pedals. Truly amazing sounding pedals. Glad that they are getting so much love around here! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Stonedtone Posted December 4, 2012 Members Share Posted December 4, 2012 get an amp that is low W practice and can be used in real live life. I have a 16W Carvin combo that does great at low volume, but I've never had an issue keeping up with it in band settings. I payed about $300 for it. Best bang for the buck I've ever found. Great amp!

Members Kardula Posted December 4, 2012 Members Share Posted December 4, 2012 just my rivera r30 but when it was in the shop I was looking into a fender mustang, that one sounded better than the vypyr. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Did you try boosting the two rock model? It sounds really good boosted with the sd-1 sim into the mesa cab, tube power amp knob up and all. A graphic eq helps in the end also. Given his 5150 prefference I think Raf will end up with the vypyr anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
