I built one for myself and a bass playing friend of mine heard me messing with it one day and said it sounded alot like Muse bass distortion/fuzz. I hadnt noticed before but the sound is pretty damn close. So, I built him one too. He gigs with it regularly and it has became part of his sound. Its the only fuzz he has ever liked on bass.

Members hombre Posted May 3, 2006 Members Share Posted May 3, 2006 Mr. Kimsuzzie is it possible to hook-up a good set of head-phones to the 1/2 watt amp? The ability to play and not disturb anyone would be worth the pocket change. How clean sounding is the 1/2 watt amp? hombre Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members preservation Posted May 3, 2006 Members Share Posted May 3, 2006 i'd MUCH rather go into the studio w/ a lovepedal or nano amp than my twin.and i'd much rather have one of those in my 2nd story apt. than my twin. live i'll use my twin.b/c i'm a man. that said, i think santana stinks.i can wear a dumb hat and play the same riffs for 40 years too !

Members Narcosynthesis Posted May 3, 2006 Members Share Posted May 3, 2006 a Fender twin is all very well for turning up on stage and rocking out with, but for playing at home most people consider it slightly excessive, having to have the volume at virtually zero for a managable volume for parents/kids/neighbours A 1/2 watt amp on the other hand you can run quite happily 1/2 a watt sounds like nothing, but is actually surprisingly loud, using a smokey plugged into my amps 12 inch speaker and it has more than enough volume for playing at home, though maybe not enough for stage granted...

Members Stratotone Posted May 3, 2006 Members Share Posted May 3, 2006 Originally posted by cantoXIII and this is where the men and the boys are separated. maybe if you don't ever play gigs, which *cough* is {censored}ing lame, then yeh, maybe a 1/2 watt amp is good to not wake your nagging wife. however, i tend to believe that musicians who actually play might need something a little more powerful. I built a 1/2 watt all tube amp and was playing it cranked in my house. The wife heard me in the driveway getting out of her car. 1/2 watt is louder than you think. I build custom 18 watt Marshally clones, and they are loud enough to blow you out the door through a good 4x12. If you don't need clean headroom, 18 watts is plenty to gig with. A 1/2 watt is plenty to hurt yourself with too. The main thing is going to be clean headroom - you're not going to get a loud clean signal, there's going to be some breakup. Since it sounds like the amp was designed to give that breakup tone, it's not an issue imho. Pete Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I used to gig with a 300watt Vetta II running a pair of 4x12s, but have it pared down to a JSX, one 4x12 and a {censored}load of pedals. I'm actually thinking of building an 18 watt for myself, and a Fender Tweed Deluxe clone - use an amp switcher, and do a 2 amp setup live. Would be a pain in the ass, but man, it would sound sweet.

Members derek_32999 Posted May 3, 2006 Members Share Posted May 3, 2006 Originally posted by AtomHeartMother I don't see why no one will buy it from me It's because A) people are stupid and think watts = tone, and B) a smokey amp costs a lot less (not to say that it sounds as good). MY advice, post this over at www.birdsandmoons.com Shouldn't last long with all the gear pagers finding refuge within those walls! Good luck!

I wonder sometimes if you have to be on drugs to get some of that stuff sometimes. In all fairness all Ive heard of Matte was noise clips, he could have just been screwing around. After seeing some of the guys sig guitars hes gotta be doing something right. Its all good. Hey K-Fed ill trade ya something for the LP amp. Email me plz.
