Members gutterking Posted November 15, 2009 Members Share Posted November 15, 2009 but I don't want it to be a jcm800. Preferably this amp will be solid as a rock and not make me in a melodic/ambient influenced hardcore (but not really) setting. Which amp do I want? $$$ is an issue, for now. I'm looking at the Red Bear mk 60/120 and the Sovtek mig 50/60/100. Is there anywhere else I should look, or can anyone share some experience with either of these?

Members K-Bizzle Posted November 15, 2009 Members Share Posted November 15, 2009 If money were no issue id say quickrod, but since it is I think a laney aor or peavey butcher would be the best calls. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Man, I've seen used QRs go for not much over a grand. How much (or little) money are we talking here? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members thesinner66 Posted November 15, 2009 Members Share Posted November 15, 2009 I liked the Laney GH series. A bit brighter sounding I think than a regular JCM 800. But convincing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members tbdmlog Posted November 15, 2009 Members Share Posted November 15, 2009 Why wouldn't you just buy a JCM800? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members gutterking Posted November 15, 2009 Author Members Share Posted November 15, 2009 The Laney was already on my radar, not sure why I didn't remember. The Peaveys kind of scare me for some reason. It's probably just the look of them, so I'd probably jump on the butcher if I found one dirt cheap.Has anyone extensively played the Red Bear, Laney, or the Sovtek?

I have owned them all at one point. The Laney sounded great. It really reminded me of a JCM 800 the most of those amps. I had an AOR 100. I have also had a Peavey VTM 60. Those things sound incredible cranked up through a good 4x12. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members gutterking Posted November 15, 2009 Author Members Share Posted November 15, 2009 Why wouldn't you just buy a JCM800? Not saying I wouldn't, but why not explore the options if I can get the same or better cheaper? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members jds22 Posted November 15, 2009 Members Share Posted November 15, 2009 What about the Peavey Windsor? Isn't is supposed to be similar to an 800? I think Bugera also has some new Marshall voiced amps out. Maybe one of those would work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
