Members 69cutty Posted April 6, 2008 Members Share Posted April 6, 2008 what combos are cheaper than half-stacks and can do metal music loud? NONE!!!! Waiting to get more cash isn't an option. VOX AD100VT-XL METAL UP YER ASS Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Mavesicles Posted April 6, 2008 Members Share Posted April 6, 2008 might be good for you, but BAD ADVICE. Dont even try and call that a marshall half stack. I had the mg stack when i was 15 and while it sounds ok in your room, its terrible for gigging. +1 Only noobs think it's good just because of the logo on the amp, no matter how cheap it is.

Members 69cutty Posted April 6, 2008 Members Share Posted April 6, 2008 The problem with those is that they suck.Sorry.:poke: it's not too bad. I'm not saying it's the greatest, but man, it kicks the {censored} out of my fender FM210 that i was playing through. I rely on pedals for my tone anways. clean channel, 50W, could've been anything, plus, my penis is bigger now because it all says marshall. all in all, it's not great. but it's alright. I seriously want a Soldano Avenger soon to replace it. but it's a want, not need. it's okay. I'm not completely dumb. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members logansc Posted April 6, 2008 Author Members Share Posted April 6, 2008 okay so 5150 combo is officially an option. I didn't know you could get them that cheap used okay. Chill. So alright we'll look into that. How do they compare to a 5150 head, are they pretty much the same as the big block letter ones? Cause we wouldn't have an opportunity to try one here.

Members JBecker Posted April 6, 2008 Members Share Posted April 6, 2008 5150 combo is basically a 5150II, from what I recall. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Mavesicles Posted April 6, 2008 Members Share Posted April 6, 2008 my penis is bigger now because it all says marshall. . Yeah, but it's an MG cab and an SS Marshall. If anything, your penis got smaller. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members 69cutty Posted April 6, 2008 Members Share Posted April 6, 2008 Yeah, but it's an MG cab and an SS Marshall. If anything, your penis got smaller. it could always be worse. I still think for $500 i could've come out much much worse. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members rockitsauce Posted April 6, 2008 Members Share Posted April 6, 2008 Its got a 16ohm out on the 5150 combo that you can run to a 4x12 if you feel the need as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members NeloAngelo Posted April 6, 2008 Members Share Posted April 6, 2008 it could always be worse. I still think for $500 i could've come out much much worse. my dick gained 7 inches when i bought my mesa markiic for $550 and slapped down another 50 for accessories.

Members exafro Posted April 6, 2008 Members Share Posted April 6, 2008 Just get a 5150 combo and be done with it. If he can't get it to sound good enough then he sucks at life. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members metalfanat1c Posted April 6, 2008 Members Share Posted April 6, 2008 what combos are cheaper than half-stacks and can do metal music loud? NONE!!!! Waiting to get more cash isn't an option. Dude... even a Behringer GMX combo will do metal... albeit it doesn't sound that great, but it WILL do it... in fact it has way too much gain for anything sensible. Open your mind.

Members madryan Posted April 6, 2008 Members Share Posted April 6, 2008 I'm not sure if he knows a) What he's talking about when it comes to price b) What happens when you gig c) What the sound man is for. The sound guy is there to push the "Suck" button if you piss him off. :poke: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Steve the Hero Posted April 6, 2008 Members Share Posted April 6, 2008 Well I'm fairly new to the forums but I've been gigging for awhile and I'd like to give my two cents.. First off, sharing gear at venues is like the best thing ever. There is less stage clutter, less crap to move and the sound guy won't have to reposition mics between every band if you decide to share cabs. Anyone who doesn't allow that is a complete MORON. Just get in contact with the bands ahead of time. I am always more than happy to share my stack. K you got $600 to play with? Don't touch the MG series. The Peavey 5150 combo is a fairly good idea. If you want people to give you props for manning a stack look for a Sovtek or Ampeg V4. Run a pedal with either. Sounds to me like you're trying to get that fake, thin sounding metal distortion if you think your XXX doesn't have enough gain (LMFAO). Do you want to hear notes or fuzz when you play? Do your homework. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Kang Diamond Posted April 6, 2008 Members Share Posted April 6, 2008 I agree, you don't need a halfstack combos will save you (him) money Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Brandenburg Posted April 6, 2008 Members Share Posted April 6, 2008 well.. I was gunna say.. Get a nice combo and if you must.. Just mic it.. Thought it was too obvious though.. LOL Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members glenecho Posted April 6, 2008 Members Share Posted April 6, 2008 Yep...I occasionally use a 5150 combo at a studio I work in, and if that {censored}er isn't loud enough for any gig I'll eat a pile of my own feces. It's {censored}in' unbearable not even half way up...louder than all hell. But honestly, with a boost, it sounds great for metal. I honestly think the earlier recommendation of PodXT through a 300w amp and cabinet was decent too. Sorry...through a decent amp and cabinet a Pod is a very flexible solution for metal...capable of getting a lot of different metal tones (models include Uber, Engl, Diezel, 5150, Cornford, Mesa Dual and Triple Recto, Marshall...I mean c'mon between that and the EQ you're gonna find a way to dial in a good sound).

Members knope Posted April 6, 2008 Members Share Posted April 6, 2008 My Spider III... it has an insane channel with more gain then all teh gain in the world put together.... all yours for $600:thu: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members cobrahead1030 Posted April 6, 2008 Members Share Posted April 6, 2008 he may as well spend some cash, and get a cab worth having...a {censored}ty cab is really a bad investment, if i were him i'd get something like this http://www.avatarspeakers.com/vintage%20g412.htm and maybe one of these heads:http://www.musiciansfriend.com/product/Behringer-VAMPIRE-LX1200H-Modeling-Guitar-Head?sku=480734http://www.musiciansfriend.com/product/Line-6-Spider-III-HD75-Guitar-Amp-Head?sku=482274http://www.musiciansfriend.com/product/Randall-RX-Series-RX120RH-120W-Guitar-Amp-Head?sku=481151 that's a little more money than you were talking about...but he'll have a solid cab that he won't need to replace, and a cheap head to keep as a backup should he decide to upgrade later; if you're thinking long term at all you're gonna be hard pressed to find a $600 rig that's not pure garbage, you may as well dig up a little more cash and get something workable honestly tho, if you don't have gear decent enough to play shows...you shouldn't be playing shows yet Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Joebelow Posted April 6, 2008 Members Share Posted April 6, 2008 I bought one of these as a backup up for gigs. Cost $162.50 on EBay. Actually not too bad at all. And br00000tally loud. As for getting a stack, well, it does look cool. That's the only reason I can think of why you'd want one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
