Also, I've found the Spinal Puppet model to be useful all of a sudden. heh. I liked SP before ver 2.0. It used to be the best, but then they changed it, and now it sounds all wimpy. Buffers seem to make it sound more .. 'oommph'. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's not gonna take top spot though. lol I dunno, there are so many model in this thing that you can end up spending more time tweaking a new tone than playing guitar. I don't really like that much.Of course, then there's the models you'd think would be cool, but turn out to suck. Like the Herbert model, I just end up with some over-scooped mess every time I try it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Shask Posted March 31, 2006 Members Share Posted March 31, 2006 Yeah, this is where I always have a personal delima. I like havng the options to find many tones, but at the same time, it is annoying having so many choices sometimes. Not to mention, I generally only end up using 1 main tone. I think this is why Im not going to do the rack thing again. Its always overkill every time I do.I like the Herbert model Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members DirtyBird Posted April 1, 2006 Members Share Posted April 1, 2006 WTF is with all these companies not telling you how much their damn amps cost?What does a Mesa Single Recto Solo head go for new, and used?And what do those Framus heads go for?I'm thinking now my next amp will be:Mesa Single Rectifier Solo headEngl Fireball... ? I dont know...But it looks like I'm gonna be getting around $250 a month... not much... but I'm not counting tips because I think I'm gonna try to get by without dipping into my paychecks for as long as I can.So it would take me about 4 months to get $1,000... not sure I'll even still want to spend all of it on an amp by then...

So you can get it not to sound scoopy-scoopy-scoop? or do you like it that way? lolI'm very tempted by the HD147 now, due to it having the top 3-4 models I use in the XT. Trouble is, I don't wanna buy it and have the replacement be released like a month down the road. I'm actaully considering just selling the rack, and buying a Laney GH50L and some {censored}in pedals. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Shask Posted April 1, 2006 Members Share Posted April 1, 2006 I go to that model when I want a scooped sound Actually, not even scooped, just ... big and wide.I wouldnt worry about the replacement. The reliability worries me more on their expensive stuff.Besides, it will be awhile, the only news Ive seen lately, was the other day, they said the Vetta II is getting another OS update, and its gonna add more wah models, and whammy pedal pitch effects, and some other crap for free. Im hoping maybe some of that will roll over Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Shask Posted April 1, 2006 Members Share Posted April 1, 2006 Are you starting to use less sounds? I think many times about getting an FX unit, but hell, sometimes I think I would be happier with Delay, Reverb and Chorus pedals. Actually, many times I debate just setting up a whole pedalboard, since I just drag them out sometimes now. If it werent for all the cables, I probably would have already done it... I think I definitely fall into that Head/Pedals catagory though... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sometimes companies have price lists, but its hidden deep in their websites. Most of the time I will just check MF or wherever.I think a Mesa something would probably be good. And I would rather get something nice, then just get something cheap for the hell of it, if you can swing the cash. Your not really a habitual seller anyways, so it would probably be money spent well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I kept getting confused when adding my pay and hours for 2 weeks together and thinking I was adding my pay for 2 pay periods (2 weeks a piece)...So I could have enough money to buy a power ball in 4 months... or a Fireball in 2...

If you're gonna drop $1k+ on an amp it would be worth the gas, IMO. I liked the JSX when I played through it, the Laney is like , and my current fav band uses a Fireball(Scar Symmetry).

If they made a "Metal-High-Gain" version of the TT-series I'd be all over it. The GH line is just meaner sounding, makes me want one badly again. lol {censored}in' GAS.I think I could live with the Laney, Comp, TS9, chorus, delay, and reverb pedals, and a cab.
