Members guidedbyechoes Posted September 18, 2009 Members Share Posted September 18, 2009 Don't do it. The only decent sounding ones are the ones made just before they got discontinued. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What bands are you into? That may help. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members greatmutah Posted September 18, 2009 Members Share Posted September 18, 2009 they are very fizzy and do not cut. I would not get one. get a used marshall or something. Not my blue voodoo. I still prefer my mesa, but my blue voodoo rips. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members guidedbyechoes Posted September 18, 2009 Members Share Posted September 18, 2009 how are they price wise though? it really just depends on the day. They are usually under 900. Peavey is usually the cheapest way to get some decent tone. Like I said earlier the xxx might be what you are looking for. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members TillTheEnd6661 Posted September 18, 2009 Author Members Share Posted September 18, 2009 any pics of the thermion? more info? all the single rectos im seein are 50watt.. plenty good enough? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members guidedbyechoes Posted September 18, 2009 Members Share Posted September 18, 2009 any pics of the thermion? more info? all the single rectos im seein are 50watt.. plenty good enough? wattage is all about headroom. so a 50 watt amp will have power tube break up sooner than a 100 watt. the hundred isn't twice as loud.
