Odd that Soundcontrol didn't have one? Every store I've been in has them.

I feel your pain. It's so hard to tell what is going to work for you. Even now I think my amp sounds shite sometimes depending on which room I am in, where the amp is in the room, how it blends with whatever else is going on etc. So actually, I think we depend a lot more on reviews and other people's opinions than most of us would care to admit.

Having said that, after spending ages prevaricating and dithering about various amps, I definitely did have a moment of 'Ooh, I like this...' when I first tried the amp that I ended up buying. I think that's the reaction you are going for.

This has probably been suggested a few times, but have you tried the Peavey Classic combos? The 50 watt 2x12 or the 30w 1x12 are both great. I thought the valveking stuff didn't come close, and you can pick them up used for not much money.

Hmm. You're the only one that can really decide. If you liked the sound of it then it's a good amp, likewise if you don't like the sound of it then it's a bad amp. Fuck what anyone else says - use your ears.

I agree with this. But try to talk to people that have used them on a gig (if you're going to be gigging it). Because everything is totally different live. If you're going to be playing in front of people, you need an amp that is going to sound good in a big room competing with a drummer, a bass player, a singer, and maybe even keyboards.

I've never done a gig with a Line 6, but everyone I've spoken to who has told me it didn't cut through once the band kicked in.

Except Bezzer of course.


And anyone else that actually knows how to set gain and EQ properly.

Come on, Fret - everyone knows it's impossible to get a bad sound from a valve amp - any valve amp - and it's also impossible to get a good sound from any non-valve amp.

That Jim Hendricks never used any of that Line6 bollocks, did he? Eh? EH?
