Members cratz2 Posted January 22, 2011 Members Share Posted January 22, 2011 HELL yeah! I've never played a 65Amps yet but I have no doubt they are great amps. I LOVE how they look though I'm not sure I'd ante up for one myself. HNAAD! (Middle A is for AWESOME!). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members mistersully Posted January 22, 2011 Author Members Share Posted January 22, 2011 thanks everyone i'm in love with this amp.... every guitar i have sounds great through it... working with my guitar's tone and volume knobs gets me all the great tones i need and i have to say... their 'master voltage' thing really works.... you don't lose anything when you turn it down i have no regrets laying down the money i did on this amp Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members xStonr Posted January 23, 2011 Members Share Posted January 23, 2011 Cool amp. What are those grills on the top of the amp? Tweeters or ports? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members cratz2 Posted January 23, 2011 Members Share Posted January 23, 2011 Cool amp. What are those grills on the top of the amp? Tweeters or ports? Awesome 50s' retro styling, I believe. Might help with cooling a bit but there aren't any tweeters and it's an open back amp, so they aren't ports. It's just the 65 Amps 'look'. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Willyguitar Posted January 23, 2011 Members Share Posted January 23, 2011 What score would I give that amp? 3 out of 3! (so far) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Deadbeat Son Posted January 23, 2011 Members Share Posted January 23, 2011 Not going to lie, I've been checking out the amp and am GASing a bit after watching some YouTube videos. I see my local dealer has one in stock. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members mistersully Posted January 23, 2011 Author Members Share Posted January 23, 2011 Not going to lie, I've been checking out the amp and am GASing a bit after watching some YouTube videos. I see my local dealer has one in stock. go play it... go on there's a few quirks so far... when you engage the bump with the footswitch there's a bit of a pop sound...could be a pain if using it as a lead boost ... although the bump is a bit dark... i'd be inclined to leave it on through a whole song and set the amp to suit... or leave it off.... the only way i'd use it as a boost is to have my tone rolled back on the guitar and then roll it back up when i engaged the bump....some of their other models have a seperate level and tone control for the bump the tremolo reacts differently depending on how you have the master voltage set... and can sound a little hissy in some settings the amp is bright with my strat (g&l)... but using the tone control on the guitar sorts that out... and it sounds GREAT... as it does with all my guitars if you play it, spend a bit of time with it... if you like el84s and p90s... i'd be surprised if you didn't love this amp edit... it takes pedals really well too Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But all of the clubs we play mic amps for both FOH and monitor mixes. Thanks for all of the gory details! I appreciate it. Another consideration for me would be a Dr. Z. I think I'll hold off before picking up either one though. The Vox will have to do the job for now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Willyguitar Posted January 23, 2011 Members Share Posted January 23, 2011 Playing my AC30 at our audition yesterday, (with a drummer who wasn't particularly 'gentle'), I had it set on 22 watts and I never had the master volume over about 1/4 to 1/3... which was a shame... but I guess they are on the louder end of the spectrum.

Members Willyguitar Posted January 23, 2011 Members Share Posted January 23, 2011 ^^ No - I just crank up the normal vol, and keep the master relatively low, which probably isn't the best thing to do, but it still sounds fine. At the moment most of our stuff is clean through to moderate gain, so no need really for pedals... with the exception of the QOTSA cover we are planning to do, but even with that, the Junior seems to crunch it up enough. So, you're getting your revenge on the one-dayers eh? Not sure what has happened to our lads. I think they may have put all their eggs into the one basket.
