Members TJM2482 Posted January 2, 2008 Members Share Posted January 2, 2008 Well, do you prefer the 5150? Otherwise you'll just be buying another XXX. They're pretty much exact clones.I've never played a 5150, but the general idea I get from forums is that it's a beast metal amp.Exact clone of a ~$1k amp for only $400-500?

Members Digital Jams Posted January 2, 2008 Members Share Posted January 2, 2008 yeah I doubt there is only 1 person on teh intrawebz who like egypt. But there pharaoh I knew was actually known as that as well, like when I would call the shop they knew him as pharoah...hey Scott, did this The Great pharaoh guy you dealt with, tour at all? Not sure, never heard of touring. Claimed to have a killer studio setup and a pile of Bogner 100Bs, one off SLOs, etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members TJM2482 Posted January 2, 2008 Members Share Posted January 2, 2008 Well I have a XXX, but I found myself falling in love with the crunch tone, it sounded more natural and organic than the ultra tone, which is why im half-eying some cheap metal amps to A/B, or if the Bugera has good crunch too, replace my XXX all together.

Pharaoh never mentioned a studio, has a {censored}load of guitars though. but he plays through a H&Ketner, and is thinking about buying a ENGL SE EL34 off me... so I dunno.. pretty coincidental though, so i see where you are coming from.

You might be able to get the heavier sounds you want by boosting the crunch channel with an eq or overdrive pedal, but these amps seem like a good deal if they don't fall apart and really do go to market soon.

I'd be a better guitarist if I had'nt spent so much time studying in school. Now I have a well paying job and can buy any type of gear I want but I'm just an average guitarist. If I had spent more time on guitar and less on school, I probably wouldn't have enough money to buy the toys I have today but I'd be a great player.

Members Cap'n Ahole Posted January 2, 2008 Members Share Posted January 2, 2008 He went by the Great Pharoah once apon a time, that was the monikor here as well as TGP. He was always hounding Savage for his paisly Shiva, always starting the boutique vs lesser gear battles, would piss all over Peavey, etc etc etc. Burned BrentSP on TWO gear deals regarding a SLO and a rack FX unit, always talked big with the uber insane rare pieces he had........TGP sniffer on roids A total prick.

Members Voltaire Posted January 2, 2008 Members Share Posted January 2, 2008 I don't know if this has been mentioned in this THREAD, because I'm too lazy to go through it. but Shane Gibson used to be endorsed-I think-by Bugera. either endorsed..or he just played them a hell of a lot. look him up on youtube there are a few videos of him playing through the amps.

Members Megadeth Man Posted January 2, 2008 Members Share Posted January 2, 2008 King V was Vince.I think this has been explained to you, but for the sake of beautiful clarity in this thread I'll reiterate: That thread is the reason for my existence on HCAF and my moniker (I like Megadeth but I'm no fanboi). The guys that are in it formed my first impressions of HCAF and defined what it was about: Steel Kage, Digital Jams, PlayboyChris, batotman, Rushtallica, SteveVHT, mystixboi1, ranalli, Shiny_Surface, Kung-Fool, et al, all the greats. I had joined the Megadeth Forum to find out what was happening with United Abominations because you can't view without signing up. I had a look in the musicians section and to my horror I saw Scamsevere operating there. Coincidentally Tim Lyons happened to call out Scamsevere just as I was about to. Tim posted a link to the HCAF thread. Me and a couple of other guys backed him up. This was done purely to inform all the gullible kids there what Vinny was about. A series of threads that "exposed" Vince sprang up. Vince and his fan club weren't very happy about this. Piney Hills and the "the third man" where his staunchest supporters.When I signed up here it was purely to post in the Scamsevere thread. When I saw what an insane nuthouse this place was I couldn't help but stick around. Ah, good times. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members megagoo Posted January 2, 2008 Author Members Share Posted January 2, 2008 I think this has been explained to you, but for the sake of beautiful clarity in this thread I'll reiterate:the fact was at the time you guys started calling vince out, he hadnt scammed anyone and was even helpful to gear questions (unless he was making it up ). the only thing he was guilty of was being a major asshole sometimes. and since no one 1) had any proof of any past scams and 2) thought since he hadnt scammed anyone yet, we would give him the benefit of the doubt (i say we because ive been an active member of the megadeth musician forum since 1999 about). everyone knew he'd been chased off of a few boards for alleged shady activity, at that point but no one knew any details or anyone that was actually scammed.
