Members Daeveed Posted December 13, 2006 Members Share Posted December 13, 2006 For dirtyness... 1. A dual (or more) channel amp.2. Single channel amp + pedal distortion.3. Dual (or more) channel amp + pedal distortion I currently play through a dual channel amp, and I rely mostly on it's own dirt, but I was wondering if there are better (sounding/playing) options.

Members freeridstylee Posted December 13, 2006 Members Share Posted December 13, 2006 Mine has 2 channels. I only use the clean one and have taylored the preamp tubes to sound best clean. It's just alot easier then putting the delay in the loop. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Yarmo Posted December 13, 2006 Members Share Posted December 13, 2006 Single channel amp+ dirt boxes For the simple reason that the transition from cleanish to dirty is more natural sounding using the volume knob than the 'night&day' sound of changing channels. Of course, it all depends on the song.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members JDandCoke Posted December 13, 2006 Members Share Posted December 13, 2006 single channel and boxes...far more versatile as well as what other people have said...you can have a great clean, then heavy metal dirt or slight breakup or fuzz all available without changing over any cables or amps or anything... all there at your feet...

Members gregovertone Posted December 13, 2006 Members Share Posted December 13, 2006 most times...single channel and dirt. for heavier stuff sometimes dual channel and dirt. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Alex D Posted December 13, 2006 Members Share Posted December 13, 2006 I love multi channels, I never thought I would need it or want it but after I got the mesa roadking I was hooked. The thing with me is they must have independent controls for each channel, and the roadking has that in spades. It has independent reverb and distortion along with power tube setting. Its like having 4 amp really, and the footswitchable loops are killer for us effect guys Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members aeroslepperin Posted December 13, 2006 Members Share Posted December 13, 2006 single channel amp, mess around with volume for cleaner sounds, boost/od/distortion/fuzz for more gain (whichever i have on my board at the time). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members CS Posted December 13, 2006 Members Share Posted December 13, 2006 I've got two low wattage non master volume amps and 4 overdrives and a fuzz. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members veil Posted December 13, 2006 Members Share Posted December 13, 2006 I have 2 one-channel amps, and 1 three-channel amp.I'm thinking of selling the three-channel for a Tiny Terror and 4x12 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members CapnMarvel Posted December 13, 2006 Members Share Posted December 13, 2006 Single channel + dirt for sure. Running two amps in stereo is nice, too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm sure you count a Super Lead as a single channel amp (despite having two input channels), right? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members fernmeister Posted December 13, 2006 Members Share Posted December 13, 2006 single channel... ...dual channel only makes sense for metal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Jaymeister Posted December 13, 2006 Members Share Posted December 13, 2006 I have 3 channels, plus 3 overdrives and a distortion pedal. When I actually write that down in black and white it seems a bit compulsive. I don't play metal either...just like to stack pedals and amp gain. I love that sound.

Members Midrange Posted December 13, 2006 Members Share Posted December 13, 2006 I use both Channels on my MusicMan 50RD. The drive channel is set very light though, just to thicken it up a bit, and I use my Rat for the real distorted stuff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Phil O'Keefe Posted December 14, 2006 Share Posted December 14, 2006 I've got both single channel and dual channel amps, but the majority of the time I don't use the dual channel feature - I set it to the clean channel and use pedals, or the dirty channel (if we like the tone for the part we're tracking) and either use that alone or with pedals such as a HBE Germania treble booster to drive the amp even harder. For the occasional live gig, it's almost always clean channel + pedals. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
