What about a 78 JMP Superlead 100? If you could get that or a 72 Superlead for 350 more, which would you go with? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If I could only have one amp, it would be a 2203. I do believe that the 72 is point-to-point, though, if you care about such things. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't know if it is because it's a one off or Ben had begun to clean up his amp wiring by the time he did this one. I haven't had a single issue with it and I have gig'd albeit only once with it. I don't get out that often as the other two guys in the band are busy breeding constantly and now have 6 kids between them. I'll tell you what though, this amp has an awesome clean and warm tone. Cranked it roars. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think he means that one of the Marshalls is $350 more than the other, not $350 more than the Laney. Those amps go for $1000+ all day long.

Years ago the bass player in my band used one of those. He played a Traynor YBA-1 through it. It sounded great. He not only loved it, he was in love with it.

Members Krallum Posted September 23, 2010 Members Share Posted September 23, 2010 My first amp is a Laney VH100r. I've debating putting KT88s in my laney but i'm not sure if they will fit first of all and it already sounds doomy enough with just an EQ in the loop, and i don't really need more volume. I'd like something thats a little bit less gritty and gainy, ie an Ampeg v4 or Model T with a fuzz/distortion in front. The good tones i've heard live have been from Model Ts, V4s, Coliseum Leads (suprisingly), and Mig (100s?) with {censored} in front that i can't always see. This is coming from Struck by lightning (live tone was totally different than the album), Howl, and a ton of local bands that i think have awesome live tonez that being said i can almost never feel right with the same gear as someone Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It sounds really good, my speaker's voice coil is partly busted and so I'm getting a new speaker. I should try running my Bassmaster through it as well, I play a YBA-4 which is basically identical to the YBA-1. I can't wait to fire up my Acoustics through it though.

Grab yourself a 150, 230 or maybe even a 450 with some pedal dirt and you'll be in doom heaven. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't forget to keep an eye out for V4Bs, either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Krallum Posted September 23, 2010 Members Share Posted September 23, 2010 Yeah i don't know the difference between those, is it just that the V4BHs don't have reverb tanks or something?either way i hope i get one that shocks the {censored} out of me everytime i turn it on Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also, get one without distortion on it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
